What differentiates Thai Hao Chi Mookata from usual affordable mookata joints is that instead of gas stoves, smokeless charcoal stoves are used to cook the meats. This gives your meats a smoky fragrance, making them extra delicious. Additionally, their chicken stock is made by boiling whole chickens sans MSG, so you can slurp up without a worry. For a group of three, their Yum Mak Mak Set ($39.90 for two diners) can sufficiently satisfy with a range of meats, seafood, veggies, and tom yum maggi mee.
