Few places pop into our minds when we speak of supper fares – McDonald’s has always been the textbook answer to our midnight hunger pangs. Is either that or a good ol’ greasy plate of maggie goreng. It seems like our bellies tend to crave for the most unearthly foods when they are the least available.
Fortunately for night owls like myself, mookata, the ultimate Thai-style barbeque and aromatic hot pot, is a superb supper alternative. Whether you’re in it for a late-night grub hunt or just a cheaper alternative to the conventional BBQ options, we have here a list of options around the island for this Thai speciality!

Upon arrival at Golden Mile Tower, one would be instantly greeted by the waft of grilled meats and an eye-striking neon light signboard that distinguishes this establishment as the monument of grilled food in the area. At a mere S$29.90 nett, a price point that is lower than most BBQ buffet joints, customers at Happy Mookata are entitled to one of the most spectacular seafood spread one would see at any buffet outlet; ranging from the usuals to premium ingredients such as snow crab, bamboo clam and crayfish. Other options that really make this place the most bang for one’s buck is the spread of cooked food that includes nuggets, popcorn chicken that are included in the same buffet menu as well!

4. Cheese Story Mookata Buffet
As the name of the establishment suggests, Cheese Story Mookata Buffet edges over the rest of its competitors by including the addition of an in-house concocted cheese mixture to add on the already delectable BBQ spread. Fresh oysters are definitely not native to the traditional Mookata but hey no one’s complaining when everything is included in a single price point of S$29.90. As the saying goes, ‘all things taste good with cheese’. Alright, perhaps that’s not a real saying but you can imagine how it can be true. Choose from the diverse cuts of meat to pair with their signature cheesy concoction or with their unique satay sauce!
