Yau Gan Mala Tang was created from a deep passion for Chinese gastronomy and a desire to create something truly unique. The founder, Bryan, was inspired by a bowl of mala tang he enjoyed in China during the global pandemic. He comes from Shunde, a region famous for its rich food traditions. This moment sparked a vision. To create a mala tang experience that offers rich, authentic flavours. Beyond that, it needed to be healthy and unique.
Bryan, determined to create broths that are MSG-free yet deep and savoury. A taste that mala tang lovers come to expect. After countless testing sessions, he finally perfected the broths. Drawing from his Hong Kong upbringing, the brand has elements of the city’s rich culture. Stephen Chow plays a role in influencing the brand’s identity. There are sprinkles of Stephen Chow references in the brand due to Bryan’s admiration towards him.
Yau Gan Mala Tang has quickly gained popularity since it’s grand opening. Loyal patrons consistently return for its rich, flavourful broths and unique atmosphere. Yau Gan Mala Tang is seeking to bring this unique taste of Hong Kong’s culinary heritage to Southeast Asia and beyond.
