I haven’t had mookata in a long time, and @yakkinmookata.sg brings back memories of my army days when we would stumble out of Thai discos dead drunk at four in the morning. However, I certainly don’t remember those mookata suppers being as delicious as Yak Kin Mookata.⠀
⠀
Yak Kin Mookata’s Mookata Platter costs an astoundingly affordable thirty eight dollars, and features a classic lineup of marinated chicken, pork collar, pork belly, hotdogs, smoked duck, scallops, tiger prawns, crabsticks, fishballs, and some veg for health. The tiger prawns are simply sublime in terms of freshness and size, and they were certainly the highlight of the meal along with the equally fresh scallops. The pork & chicken were simply yet sufficiently marinated, and those meats were quite magnificent especially when dipped into the sweet & spicy Thai chili on the side. The broth was no slouch either, as it was akin to chicken stock on steroids. It’s more luscious & slightly more tasty, that’s for sure. ⠀

If that bountiful bevy ain’t enough to settle your rumbling tummy, Yak Kin will leave you spoilt for choice with their extensive selection of add ons. From truffle chicken to the moo ping ($7.90, 3 sticks), to Thai fish sausages to the majestically marbled Premium Beef Steak ($20.90 nett), you’re definitely gonna find some meat you’ll love to meet. The moo ping was strikingly juicy and tender, and it was subtly yet sufficiently marinated for maximum deliciousness. Meanwhile, the Premium Beef Steak was so majestically marbled with fat that it could rival wagyu when it comes to the eye test.⠀
⠀
The most unique item we had are the Bak Kwa Fries ($5.80). They are exactly what they say they are, but I certainly wasn’t expecting them to be this delectable. It’s sweet, salty and smoky, the traditional flavour profile that only bak kwa could have, but chopped up and compressed into sticks. Grill up these meat tubes, and you have yourself some phenomenally tasty meat sticks.⠀

Once you’re done boozing along Keong Saik Road, head on down to Yak Kin Mookata for a sensationally sizzling supper. Thanks for the invite @scalecollab.sg & @yakkinmookata.sg!
