Here are the 13 Best Mookata Restaurants In Singapore 2022 ranging from buffets, 1m-long platters and super affordable mookatas starting from S$1.90 per plate. 

The sizzling demand for thai barbeque steamboats has led to a boom in mookata eateries in Singapore. 

Loosely translated from Thai as “pork” and “skillet”, mookata is basically Thai barbecue originating from Northern Thailand. 

Most often, mookata features a dome-shaped skillet with a ring of soup around the pan. You can cook your ingredients in the soup, and grill your meat and seafood on the dome itself. 

Here are the 13 Best Mookata Restaurants In Singapore 2022 that’ll teleport you to the Land of Smiles.
