Enjoy dining without burning a hole in your pocket, no membership required
Been visiting Aroy Mak Mookata at least once a year since their old location at Macpherson Road, but now they have moved to Jalan Besar, opposite Sim Lim Tower, near Rochor MRT.
The mookata buffet used to be split between normal and premium pricing, but now it is only one price at $23.80 nett, introduced a few months back, with no GST or service charge. If you top up $5, you get free flow fountain drinks such as authentic Thai Milk Tea, Thai Green Milk Tea, Lemongrass, and more.
With this pricing, you get seafood, marinated meat, vegetables, processed food, and free flow sauces and condiments, plus one free ice cream. Seafood selection includes flower crab, clams, sotong, dory fish, mussels, and oysters. There used to be more options like crayfish and scallops, but still a steal considering the price. Freshness was good, especially for prawns and clams, while the rest were decent.
There was a wide range of marinated meats including chicken, beef, and pork. Marination was mild, would be better with stronger flavour, but at least the cuts were bite sized. I recommend sticking to non‑marinated or sesame flavour, and also getting the smoked duck. Dip into their sauce and enjoy.
Soup base was too plain. Even after cooking all the food, it stayed plain. It is good that soup starts neutral, but after cooking, the juices should enrich it. This was a disappointment, and I hope they improve the taste of the soup base.
They offered various dipping sauces, including different types of Thai chili sauce, belachan chilli, garlic, chilli padi, and even mayo and nacho cheese sauce, to enhance the flavour.
Overall, in terms of taste and quality, I felt it fell short compared to the past. In terms of pricing, it was still worth it. Eat mookata, enjoy air‑con, and free flow drinks. I do miss their braised meat rice, which they served for a period.
Cash or PayNow/PayLah only.

Every year, we make it a tradition to gather at this Mookata place. They've revamped their setup and business model, now offering a smaller yet more convenient experience. The best part? You can now help yourself to the food, drinks, sauces, cooked items, and ice cream. Plus, they've upgraded their ventilation and added a direct smoke extractor.
Drinks are included in the buffet, except for canned ones. But who needs those when you can make your own milk tea or grab a refreshing fountain drink? They've introduced rice with braised meat that tastes remarkably like Taiwan's braised pork rice—a pleasant surprise that capped off a fantastic meal.
Our go-to orders are their homemade marinated pork and chicken—succulent, packed with flavour, and truly delightful. However, we'd recommend skipping the Mala option.
For a tastisfying 120-minute dining experience, this place delivers. Oh, and there is a rule that required a minimum of 2 people for dining.

Here first time for their mookata buffet ($22.80) and ended with a happy belly. The meats used are pretty fresh and well seasoned, my personal favourite is the pork belly because its just so juicy and tender with the char. I think it's pretty cheap and there's no GST and service charge as well!
Affordable Thai steamboat buffet with a lot of meat! It’s good for a gathering meal but the place is a bit out of the way~
