Famous Golden Mile Complex Mookata eatery, New Udon Mookata will be moving out of Golden Mile Complex around May or June 2023 as the building was sold en bloc to a consortium.

New Udon Mookata will be opening a new outlet at Foch Road next week as well as other outlets in the near future.

Golden Mile Complex or otherwise known fondly as “Little Thailand” to the locals and Thais living in Singapore is a mall that is always bustling with activity throughout the day. While most people would know the place for its pubs and drinking places, there are also many humble eateries and hidden restaurants inside that serve authentic Thai food.

Established in 2007, New Udon Mookata is arguably the most popular eatery in Golden Mile Complex and it is always packed with regulars.

In an interview with 8days, the daughter of New Udon Mookata’s founder says the restaurant is expected to move out of Golden Mile Complex around May or June in 2023, though it will remain open for now.

New Udon Mookata will be opening its second outlet at Foch Road next week, though there are no concrete details for now.

They also have plans to expand with more locations in Jurong West and Greenwood Avenue.

Fans of New Udon Mookata will be happy to know that the famous mookata eatery will have more outlets in Singapore and you can satisfy your Mookata cravings without going all the way to Golden Mile Complex.

In Singapore, we are blessed to have a huge number of Thai dining establishments that cater to any kind of budget you have—whether you are looking for no-frills eateries or classy restaurants.

Of all the tremendous amounts of cooking methods available to us, be it fancy or rustic, barbecue still remains one of our all-time-favourite ways to have food cooked. It’s hard not to give in to a platter of smoky, seared meat, and thanks to a slew of new openings, the barbecue trend is bigger than ever in Singapore.

Nearly every culture has their own form of barbecue, in fact, the whole concept of barbecue dates back to caveman times where food was literally cooked over an open fire on a spit (or a stick). Now, with Singapore playing host to so many varieties of cultural influences and cuisines, we get to enjoy so many varieties.

Whether it’s a sweet, marinated Korean bulgogi beef you crave, good-old Louisiana-style baby back ribs, Filipino pork lechon or even a humble mookata, here is our guide to 13  BBQ restaurants in Singapore.

SUPERSTAR K

Talk about the hottest Korean BBQ restaurants in Singapore, and we all think of Superstar K at Tanjong Pagar. The outlet specialises in using charcoal grills for its Korean BBQ, and the authentic dining experience explains its popularity among Singaporeans and tourists alike.

Side dishes are modest yet not overly ambitious, unlike many other Korean eateries. Our personal favourites to order here include the beef short rib as well as the pork belly. It is also good to note that they open until 4am daily which is great if you ever find yourself craving for Korean barbecue after a night of heavy drinking.

Are you sick of your usual supper spots? Minced Meat Noodles, Nasi Lemak, Frog Leg Porridge, Dim Sum—they are all amazing. Good as they may be, we all need a change because who doesn’t get tired of eating the same food every night?

If your neighbourhood supper places are starting to bore you, here are 12 Supper Areas in Singapore For Your Late Night Hunger Pangs—we’ve got you covered no matter which part of Singapore you stay at! You are very welcome.

1. BALESTIER ROAD

When we mention Balestier, everyone thinks of Bak Kut Teh first. Despite the never-ending debate on which Bak Kut Teh eatery is better, 333 Bak Kut Teh is a crowd favourite. Balestier also has a number of chicken rice restaurants such as Loy Kee Chicken Rice and Boon Tong Kee that open until late, too.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: 333 Bak Kut Teh, Boon Tong Kee, Founder Bak Kut Teh & Loy Kee Chicken Rice

Where to park: There are legal lots to park along the road. However, you can also park at the Whampoa Market open-air car park if you do not mind a short walk.

2. CHONG CHIN NAM ROAD

If you stay in the West of Singapore, or in the vicinity of Bukit Timah, you would have tried either Al-Azhar or Al-Ameen. Indian Muslim food is always a good choice for supper, be it the sinful prata or a lovely plate of Mee Goreng, But guess what? Bukit Timah actually has more to offer!

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Al-Azhar Eating Restaurant, Al-Ameen Eating House, Joo Seng Teochew Porridge & Five Star Hainanese Chicken Rice

Where to park: You can park alongside the shop houses or the huge open-space public car park that is a stone’s throw away from the main supper stretch.

3. GEYLANG ROAD

Eminent Frog Porridge is frog leg porridge heaven and is synonymous with Geylang. Nothing is better than a warm bowl of porridge after a night out, or if you are craving for some comfort food to end your week off with your supper kakis?

You can also get really amazing claypot rice at Geylang Claypot Rice. Otherwise, Geylang also has many dim sum and hot pot places that open until late! Some notable ones include 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi, Ladyboy Mookata and Da Long Yan Hot Pot.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Geylang Claypot Rice, Rochor Beancurd House, 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi, Ladyboy Mookata, Da Long Yan Hot Pot & Eminent Frog Porridge

Where to park: Open-air car parks near the respective restaurants.

4. GOLDEN MILE

We swear by Golden Mile’s Thai food eateries. Some of our frequent hang-outs are at either Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant and Nana Thai. To indulge in spicy and delicious Thai food for supper is one of the best feelings ever.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Nana Thai, Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant, Cheese Story Mookata Buffet & Happy Mookata

Where to park: Golden Mile Complex

5. JALAN KAYU

When at Jalan Kayu, eat prata, of course! Prata is a fail-proof supper option, and Thasevi Restaurant at Jalan Kayu is our all-time favourite. We’ve been patrons since we were kids! Those who are looking for a place to chill with bar grub and beers should consider One Place Bistro & Bar.

For something light, go to Selegie Soya Bean for some silky smooth beancurd and piping hot dough fritters. Tang Teahouse also offers consistently good dim sum.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Thasevi Famous Jalan Kayu Prata Restaurant, Jalan Kayu Prata Cafe, One Place Bistro & Bar, Selegie Soya Bean, Tang Teahouse & Thohirah Restaurant

Where to park: Opposite the stretch of restaurants at the open-air car park.

6. KOVAN – UPP SERANGOON ROAD

The renowned Punggol Nasi Lemak is situated at a coffee shop that also offers other great eats. We especially love Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee there which we dub as one of the best in Singapore. There are also a few Teochew porridge stalls that open till late.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Punggol Nasi Lemak, Heng Long Teochew Porridge & Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Mee

Where to park: At the open-air car park opposite the coffee shop where these restaurants are situated at.

7. LITTLE INDIA 

Everybody comes here for Swee Choon and we can understand why. Not only is their Dim Sum delicious, it is extremely inexpensive. Of course, how can you miss out on the rich flavours of Indian cuisine at Khansama Tandoori Restaurant and Indian Mom’s Kitchen?

For something substantial and hearty, a meal at Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice will do the trick.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant, Khansama Tandoori Restaurant, Indian Mom’s Kitchen & Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice

Where to park: There are parking lots along the roads of Little India.

8. RIVER VALLEY ROAD

While everybody flocks to Spize like a magnet after drinking or partying, we prefer dining at its next door neighbour, Al Afrose. The Indian Muslim food here is delicious, less expensive and the portions are much bigger.

Otherwise, there are also popular chicken rice stalls that open until late including Boon Tong Kee and Five Star Hainanese.

Popular supper restaurants/eateries: Spize, Boon Tong Kee, Five Star Hainanese & Al Afrose

Where to park: There are legal parking lots behind these restaurants and along the roadside.

9. SERANGOON GARDENS

We frequent Chomp Chomp for mouthwatering BBQ Seafood. Sambal Stingray is probably one of the best dishes to get here, together with some La-La (Clams) and Sambal Kang Kong.

Both Srisun Express and RK Eating House satisfy our late-night cravings for teh towers and Indian-Muslim cuisine. Round your meal off at Oblong where you can get crispy waffles and interesting ice cream flavours.

10. SIMPANG BEDOK

Simpang Bedok’s frontrunner is definitely Spize. While it might not be our favourite restaurant in Singapore, we certainly still love the food that is served here.

Other options you have at Simpang Bedok include New Mahamoodiya Restaurant and Syed Restaurant.

Another Punggol Nasi Lemak outlet? Sign us up. We just cannot get enough of it. Farther down Tanjong Katong Road is the OneKM Mall, where Beauty In The Pot is at.

For a selection of Western and Asian choices under one roof, Bar Bar Black Sheep should be in your list too.

Golden Mile Complex or otherwise known fondly as “Little Thailand” to the locals and Thais living in Singapore is a mall that is always bustling with activity throughout the day.

While most people would know the place for its pubs and drinking places, there are also many humble eateries and hidden restaurants inside that cater for the lunch crowd during midday too.

Whether you are craving for traditional Pad Thai, creamy Green Curry or simply want to fill your hungry stomach with aromatic beef boat noodles, you will surely be able to find them all at Golden Mile Complex.

Here is our Golden Mile Complex Food Guide, featuring 11 Thai eateries that you must dine at.

#1 BANANA/ YAM/ SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

You will be able to find a simple stall selling fried fritters located outside the Thai supermarket. Flavours include banana, yam and sweet potato and they are going for 5 pieces at S$2. The banana fritters have been deep fried into just the right crispiness.

#2 BAANTHAI KITCHEN

Baanthai Kitchen is essentially a food court with various stalls for you to choose from. Since the Thai Boat Noodle stall looked promising, we gave their Beef Noodles Soup (S$5) a try. The soup was flavourful and comes with good portions of mixed beef and silky kway tiao reua (boat noodles).
