Located at the end of a long stretch of busy eateries at Bugis is Mook's. It is a relatively new Thai BBQ place, that opened earlier this year. Mook’s unique moniker is a play of two words, ‘moo’ and ‘kata’, which translates to pork’s pan, setting the stage for porcine ingredients that populate its menu.

Located at the end of a long stretch of busy eateries at Bugis is Mook's. It is a relatively new Thai BBQ place, that opened earlier this year. Mook’s unique moniker is a play of two words, ‘moo’ and ‘kata’, which translates to pork’s pan, setting the stage for porcine ingredients that populate its menu. An array of seafood are also available for the culinary pleasure of its patrons, where one can cook prawns with crab meat and fish balls in boiling pots of tom yum or chicken soup. Singapore has seen a growing trend of Mookata sprouting in even the smallest of coffee shops; it is one of the most popular get-together meals in Thailand and I can see why it’s getting popular in Singapore.
Mook’s Thai Mookata BBQ is just opposite Bugis Junction near the ever popular Ah Chew Desserts. Mook’s has a down-to-earth interior with wallpaper in a brick design and plenty of space aligned between tables to facilitate comfortable groups.
Mook's Thai Mookata BBQ basically only serves in sizes of 2 pax. They don't have much cooked food to offer either, so if you're very hungry, you will have to tahan! And since, tons of Groupons were sold, there was a long queue of people waiting for tables, just like us. I wish I had made a reservation!! Nonethelss, while waiting in line, I noticed the pictures of drinks on the entrance.
I couldn't tahan anymore, I was craving Thai Milk Tea and decided to order one whil waiting in line and the friendly staff auntie offered to grab me a glass of water first, while waiting who knows how long for a table. I told her, I was dying of thirst and needed my Thai Milk Tea, she laughed and hurriedly ran into the kitchen and come out with my saving grace!Thai Milk Tea $2.90

I didn't know that these were pieces of pork lard, until the staff came to tell me how to oil the hot plate! So this is how you cook your food. You leave the pork lards on top, and as it is heated, the fat oils flow down and oil the rest of the hot surface, and that is how you cook your food! But I didn't really trust this method of cooking and ended up using the tongs to grab the pork lard and scrub the entire hot plate surface with the lard, to spread the oil all over. Especially for the fish slices, I didn't want them getting burnt and stuck onto the hot plate.

The service here was better than expected. The staff were friendly and helpful, despite running around and trying to attend to all the customers as the restaurant was running at max capacity. As we left around 9plus, the crowd was starting to die down and the queue outside the shop disappeared.
Overall : 1) Great service 2) Okay Food if you get the groupon
