10 Mookata Restaurants In Singapore To Satisfy Your Barbecue And Steamboat Desires

For days when you can’t decide between barbecue or steamboat, mookata is here to save the day

Mookata, or mu kratha, is a combination of Singaporean’s two well-loved eating styles: barbecue and steamboat. Originating from Thailand, the cooking method uses a domed pot where meat is grilled on a lard-lubricated surface that allows the umami-rich juices to flow into and flavour the soup along the perimeter.

Unsurprisingly, mookata is a favourite here as the result is a delicious mix of smoky, grilled meats and flavourful hotpot. So the next time you can’t decide between Korean barbecue or Chinese hotpot, why not meld the two together and enjoy Thai mookata instead? Keep scrolling for 10 mookata restaurants in Singapore to tick off your list.

PS: Most, if not all of these restaurants deliver, so support them if you’re hankering for mookata in the comfort of your own home.

10 Mookata Restaurants In Singapore To Satisfy Your Barbecue And Steamboat Desires
Mookata Traditional Thai BBQ
custom

Mookata has been a regular feature among the row of shophouse restaurants along East Coast Road for over a decade. And as its name implies, it prides itself on Thai barbecue. Here, you can expect multiple cuts of meats including pork, chicken and beef as well as a selection of seafood and Thai snacks and bar bites that you can griddle to perfection atop the charcoal-fired pan.

Chok Dee Thai Food Mookata
custom

Located in a food court under a HDB block, Chok Dee is not only one for the east siders, but also those who are looking for an affordable option. Set meals start at $28 for two pax but you can of course go with the a la carte route. Chok Dee also has various spicy dipping sauces with varying heat levels that you can customise to your own liking.

New Udon Moo-kata
custom

We can’t talk about Thai food in Singapore without mentioning Golden Mile Complex. One of the bigger mookata establishments there is New Udon, where you get to dine in a comfy air-conditioned environment. Do be warned that you’ll still come out smelling like smoke though. Another caveat: their sets are prefixed but you can do a la carte add-ons. New Udon also serves up Thai salads and omelettes for those especially famished.

Siam Square Mookata
custom

Since opening its doors in 2013 along Havelock Road, Siam Square has quickly expanded to over 10 stores dotted around Singapore. Perhaps the biggest draw that Siam Square has is its chilli sauce, which is available in three increasing levels of spiciness. They also have buffet options at $29 per pax.

Cheese Story Mookata Buffet
custom

Cheese lovers take heed. Here at Cheese Story, you’ll be served with a portion of gooey melted cheese (mix of nacho and mozzarella) that you can dip the grilled meats into before enjoying the unctuousness. Besides the cheese, the other draw is the free-flow options that include oysters, flower crabs and crayfishes.

168 Mookata
custom

For those looking to elevate their mookata experience with premium meats without breaking the bank, head over to 168 Mookata. Here, they serve up Iberico Pork Jowl, Foie Gras, MB4+ Wagyu Striploin, MB4+ Wagyu Ribeye and Spanish Batalle Presa Duroc Pork Collar with prices starting at $5.90. These are not included in the platter set meals so you’ll have to add them a la carte.
