Must-try Mookata restaurants in Singapore:
1. Siam Square Mookata: Best for spicy mookata
Siam Square Mookata is one of the pioneering restaurants for mookata in Singapore. Since opening their first outlet at Havelock Road in 2013, they have quickly expanded to 15 other locations across our island. They serve affordable yet authentic Thai mookata with fresh ingredients that are replenished daily. Look forward to leafy green vegetables, premium meat, seafood and more. Made up of a mouthwatering blend of spices and a zest of citrus, their special secret recipe chilli sauce is a highlight.
It is available in four levels of spiciness, catering to all customers. They even offer a special menu with dishes including Truffle Corn, Cheese Roll Bacon, Beef Karubi, Rib Eye and Honey Sliced Ham. Most people go for their all-you-can-eat mookata buffet, but a la carte dishes are also available if you’re not up for a heavy meal.
