Jinhong Mala: Chongqing-Style Mala Hot Pot in Pattaya
For lovers of spicy food, Jinhong Malasaipan (金鸿麻辣) is widely considered one of the best mala hot pot restaurants in Pattaya. On Pattaya Third Road, it brings the fiery flavours of Chongqing to Thailand, with an authentic mala broth combining the numbing tingle of Sichuan peppercorn and the bold aroma of dried chillies. Skewers of meat, seafood and vegetables glide past your table on a conveyor belt: just pick, dip and enjoy.
The Experience
What Is Mala?
Mala (麻辣) means "numbing and spicy" in Chinese. This signature flavour of Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine comes from Sichuan peppercorns, which create a unique tingling sensation, combined with the heat of chillies. An addictive taste that has become a favourite across Asia.
The Conveyor Belt Hot Pot
Each guest has a hot pot of simmering broth. Skewers of meat, seafood, meatballs, mushrooms and vegetables pass by on the conveyor belt: take what you like, cook it in the broth and dip it in a wide choice of sauces, refilled as often as you want.
Authentic Chongqing Flavours
The broth is prepared with genuine spices and imported peppercorns, following traditional Chongqing techniques, for a deep, complex and authentic mala flavour.

Good to Know
Choose your spice level: mala can be very spicy, so ask for a milder broth if you are not used to it.
Mix your own sauce: try different combinations at the sauce bar, it is part of the fun.
Great value: you pay per skewer, so you can eat as much or as little as you like.
Ask the staff: the menu is mainly in Thai and Chinese, but the team is happy to help you choose.
