Thai Hao Chi Mookata is a Thai restaurant at 908 Upper Thomson Road in Yishun, Singapore, holding a 4.9 Google rating from diners. Mookata is Thai-style barbecue built around a dome-shaped grill: meat, seafood and vegetables cook on the hot dome while a moat of broth bubbles around the edge, so one table covers both grill and soup. A chunk of pork lard is rubbed over the metal first — it keeps thin slices of marinated pork from sticking and adds the savoury depth the dish is known for. Order for the table rather than by individual plates, pace the grill so fatty cuts render before delicate items go on, and don't skip the chilli dipping sauce — most places serve a jaew-style mix of chilli, tamarind and toasted rice. On Upper Thomson Road in Yishun, Thai Hao Chi Mookata brings that grill-and-broth ritual to the neighbourhood.
