Coconut-Themed Thai Food & Mookata
Cocokata is a relatively new stall, having opened only in May last year. The business was started by a group of four friends, where the idea dawned on them as they were having mookata together.With the coconut craze taking over Singapore, they went into numerous R&D to create their signature Thai food & Mookata made with coconut! Definitely a unique menu offering!

Mookata (Paired with Coconut Broth)
Besides their coconut-themed dishes, they also offer everyone’s favourite, Mookata! Even the mookata is coconut-themed! Their meats are marinated for at least a day, ensuring every bite is an explosion of flavour! For their soups, they use Chinese herbs, coconut, chicken, water, and a blend of secret ingredients. Cocokata uses Thai coconuts, ensuring you get the best quality and the sweet and tropical taste with your dishes!
For the Chicken Platter ($10), it comes in black pepper, original, garlic, and coconut. The coconut chicken is certainly a flavour you don’t usually find at most mookata places!

Each piece of fish cake is handmade with love by their Thai Chef, who inherited the recipe from his mother. The fish cake is then deep-fried to give its springy texture and a pleasant crunch. Each order of the fish cake is served with their Thai sweet chilli, giving a perfect blend of sweet and savoury, with a kick of spice!
