Mookata, Siglap sadly shuts its doors... the place wit BBQ Japanese Wagyu and Iberico Pork
Mookata is gone from Siglap. We could not believe the news that hit us last weekend from our mates the Rutherfords. Sadly it’s goodbye Khun Mookata, Siglap. The Semi-Naked Chef and family cannot quite believe it. Our favourite Mookata of all time. Remember the one selling Wagyu from Japan, Tongue, and Iberian Pork? The main man at the helm, Greg, has announced it will close at the end of December and be no more or sooner if they run out of produce. We are gutted. Do you remember the previous posts?
As a reminder check in to the previous Khun Mookata blogs;
One slight saving grace perhaps is that Greg has sorted distribution rights for the Wagyu to be sold via his make at Mikawa Yakatori Bar Siglap. Remember that place. At least I can get my fix, sadly without Greg. A very sad occasion – hear from the man himself;
Dear friends and supporters of Khun Mookata We are sad to announce that this is our last month of operations at Siglap. Ever since opening in Nov 14, we have been facing location issues and manpower issues. After a year of trying our best to overcome some of the restrictions and issues, things did not really turn better. As such, we have decided to take a break at this juncture. We do not eliminate the possibilities of reopening if a more ideal location in available. Our official last day of operations will be on the 30/12/15, but it will also depend on our stock level as we will unlikely be bringing more supplies closer to the 30th as there are certain minimum quantity required from the suppliers. Once again, thank you very much for all the support along the way. We hope to be able to see you soon, be it under KHUN Mookata or even a new concept. KHUN Mookata"
So for this final positing – Sadly it’s goodbye Khun Mookata, Siglap – I just wanted to say if you want a last chance to experience the VERY best Khun Mookata ever then get yourself down to see Greg and the team at Khun Mookata, Siglap. You really must before it is gone – we were there last night, and will likely have another go prior Xmas. Maybe see you there friends – ENJOY!!!

What is Khun Mookata?
The delicious Thai dish is known as Mookata is quickly becoming a global phenomenon. This Thai take on Korean BBQ and Chinese hot pot is so different from the norm that you won’t be able to get enough of it.
Mookata, often written Mu kratha, is a dish that is prepared by boiling meat and vegetables on a pan set over high heat in the middle of a pot of broth. Restaurants may also provide seafood such as slipper lobsters, mussels, and squid in addition to pork and beef. At Khun Mookata Siglap it was Japanese A5 Wagyu amd Iberico Pork.
There are numerous establishments in Thailand where you can indulge in the Mookata tradition of happy gluttony. In fact, its popularity has led to the rise of all-you-can-eat buffets, where diners pay a flat rate and have access to an abundance of food preparation options.
Mookata has been a staple in Thailand for many years, where it has its beginnings. The word “Mu” means pig or pork in Thai, and “Kratha” means pan or skillet in Thai. Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore are just a few of the Southeast Asian nations where it has since spread.
In conclusion, if you’re searching for something different and tasty to eat, you should give Mookata a shot. It’s a symphony of tastes that all come together in one pot to make something so delicious that you won’t be able to get enough of it. Why not check out a local Mookata eatery and give it a try?
