1345 Mookata & Bistro - 200 Pandan Gardens

Love this gem of a stall hidden in the Bukit Batok industrial area. Tom yum fish and pork paste are special items that I don’t usually see in mookata places, but these are must try’s here! Value for money too, the girls and I spent about $25 per person for a lot of food. It can get quite crowded on Friday or Saturday evenings, so do come early.

Usually my 'go to' mookata is at golden Mile. Others I have tried are hollow attempts at selling a gimmick without adding any effort in marinate or sauces. Came here spontaneously with a bunch of friends and were REALLY impressed. While the customers would benefit from a couple of standing fans around... that's about the only negative I can say. The dishes are pretty damn legit. I tried all three marinates: black pepper, MALA, basil and they were all pretty good. Basil was something I didn't expect to be so well favoured. I can see how black pepper wld easily be the most popular as it works so well with the meats. The mala was decent and would appeal to Mala fans but it is gentle and not overpowering. I am narrowing it down to three dishes u simply HAVE to try. The minced meat patty thing is awesome( Be patient and let it char. REALLY) , the pork belly is great, and the beef is good too. Their price is really reasonable ($8-$12) for the many chunks of meat u get. For sauces they have your standard green nam jim, and another red chilli (my least favourite but good effort blending Mae Pranom sweet chilli sauce with other ingredients so it didn't taste totally generic ) Also I find the sincerity of the staff endearing. They seem quite young? they are really helpful and attentive. I really wish them the best and hope they are doing well and continue to do well. Great job guys, u have given me and my buds a new place to hangout after tennis. (Dang! we were SO HUNGRY We didn't take ANY PHOTOS! ?)

Like the chilli and the soup is not too salty. Service is quite good. The Thai lady even help us cook the pork patty when she found that we don't know how to do it.

Same operator, same great taste, same menu, same great service, same awesome vibe, and therefore you should come back all the same! Oh, did I mention that the new place looks much cleaner and open? It makes the dining experience all the more enjoyable!

Airy and comfortable outdoor dining, attentive staff with fast & good service. The chilli sauce as we read about from the reviews didn't disappoint us. It was indeed good and goes well with the meat. We will visit again.

Food is delicious and affordable, service is fast even on a busy weekend night, convenient parking spaces.

Great mookata! Portions are big and I'm glad to be here earlier on Saturday evening. Quite crowded... 5pax dine in.. meat is marinated nicely... Prefer the chicken and pork to the beef though..

Very good marination for the meat, some flavour are not common elsewhere. The sauce is pretty standard. The set is very value for money, just need to top up a little more for goodies like Prawn Paste and more meat for meat lovers.
