SINGAPORE – 2 November 2026 — FOMO Pay, a leading Singapore-headquartered payment institution, has partnered with Zhang Liang Mala Tang to support the brand's growing presence in Singapore.
As Zhang Liang Mala Tang expands its Chinese fast-casual dining concept internationally, the partnership highlights the importance of payment infrastructure that can adapt to local consumer preferences while helping businesses manage payment complexity efficiently in overseas markets.
FOMO Pay and Zhang Liang Mala Tang are two businesses built around the same principle: that scale should not come at the expense of individual choice.
At Zhang Liang Mala Tang, no two bowls have to be the same. Diners select their own ingredients from more than 300 options, choose their preferred broth and pay by weight. This also means that in a group, each diner can order and pay individually, often using a different payment method.
For a restaurant model built around individual choice, payment flexibility is a natural extension of customer experience. A payment experience that accommodates local payment habits, as well as that of international visitors, allows Zhang Liang to preserve that sense of individual choice beyond the bowl itself.
FOMO AI Soundbox is designed to support the fast-paced, multi-payment needs of F&B businesses. By consolidating multiple payment methods into a single device, the terminal enables merchants to accept cards, QR payments, e-wallets and stablecoins without requiring staff to manage separate devices or fragmented payment integrations. Real-time audio confirmation of each transaction also helps staff verify payments quickly and keep queues moving during peak periods.
"Zhang Liang Mala Tang is built around giving every customer the freedom to create a bowl that reflects their own tastes. As we expand internationally, it is important that the experience we offer extends beyond our food to every part of the customer journey, including payment," said Mia Gu, Director of Global Operations at Zhang Liang Mala Tang. "FOMO Pay's solutions help in supporting the payment methods used by local customers and international visitors through one platform, giving us a practical and flexible way to serve customers in Singapore while supporting our broader overseas growth."
The deployment also reflects the growing importance of payment infrastructure as an operational tool for merchants, rather than simply a means of accepting transactions.
FOMO Pay is developing an AI-powered merchant intelligence layer, designed to help operators turn transaction data into actionable insights.
“Zhang Liang has built a highly scalable business model around individual choice, allowing customers to create a meal according to their preferences," said Ruoshi Wang, Head of Digital Payments at FOMO Pay. “We see a similar principle in payments. As Chinese and other Asian businesses expand overseas, they need a payment infrastructure that can adapt to the preferences of local customers, and international tourists need a solution that can support every customer preference without adding complexity at the counter. ”
The partnership reflects a shared approach between FOMO Pay and Zhang Liang Mala Tang to serve customers with a touch of personalisation: giving individuals the flexibility to choose what they eat, and how they order and pay, while giving merchants the infrastructure to manage that complexity efficiently.
Zhang Liang Mala Tang’s expansion into Singapore reflects a broader trend of Chinese consumer and F&B brands establishing an international presence. As more Asian businesses expand across borders, FOMO Pay aims to support their growth with payment and financial infrastructure that helps connect businesses with customers in the markets where they operate.
Founded in 2015, FOMO Pay is a payment institution licensed in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East. The firm is a leading one-stop digital payment, digital banking and digital asset solution provider, and is building Asia's fully licensed financial platform to help institutions and businesses connect traditional and next-generation financial services.
