If you like your classic cuisines with a little twist, Cocokata is a place you definitely must try!
Coconut-Themed Thai Food & Mookata
Cocokata is a relatively new stall, having opened only in May this 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!
Seabass With Signature Coconut Sauce ($25)
The Coconut Sauce Seabass is a unique dish you definitely have to try! The seabass is fried to perfection, with a crispy golden brown skin. Perfect for the spice lovers, this dish seriously packs a punch! Mix the fragrant and flavourful coconut sauce with the soft and perfectly cooked fish for a balance of textures and flavours! With the spice to kick in at the end, every bite is simply delicious! Indeed a very unique pairing of coconut and fish that is executed perfectly!
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! For the soup, it is less salty as compared to those you would usually find at normal mookata places. Cocokata’s soup has the fragrant smell of coconut and you can even taste it in the soup! Refreshing and sweet with every sip! To make things even better, four signature chillis are offered! Choices include suki sauce, seafood chilli sauce, coconut chilli, sweet sauce. Perfect for adding different dimensions of flavours to your meats!

As they use a thin batter, you get a good blend of textures with the crispiness on the exterior with the prawns!
Handmade Pandan Chicken ($7)
The Pandan Chicken is soft and tender, and deep-fried to perfection! Tastewise, it’s similar to satay, without the satay sauce of course. The chicken is moist and the scent of pandan instantly hits you!
Handmade Fish Cake ($7)
The Fish Cake is made from Dory fish, which is beaten to a paste and mixed in with long beans and other ingredients. 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! The inside is soft, yet there are different textures going on in each bite with the different ingredients used. The perfect side dish to go with your meal!
