Looking for Good For Groups places?

[BUKIT MERAH, SINGAPORE] I thought @kengengkee is for tourists, little did I know that my colleagues were raving about their food and we made an impromptu trip over to eat and we NEVER LOOKED BACK.

The Moonlight Hor Fun 🍜 ($23.80 for L) is a must get. The noodles were silky smooth, even silkier due to the raw egg, and the wok hei in this is INTENSE. Very flavourful, this was really easy to eat and slurp down!

The Coffee Pork Ribs 🐷 ($29.80 for M) is also another must get. Light and crispy on the outside, and soft and tender within, it had the right mix of sweet and savoury flavours, with a fragrant coffee aftertaste. I think this might be the best rendition I've had.

An alternative protein can be the Marmite Chicken 🐔 ($16.80 for S), as it was delicious too with its sweet savoury mix! This was tender and crispy on the outside too.

The Hotplate Beancurd 🍳 ($16.80 for S) and 3 Egg Spinach 🥬 ($23.80 for M) were great as well, thought nothing too much to shout out about.

Despite it being slightly pricey, all dishes were hits and we were a team of 5 that was very well fed. It was about $22.50 per pax, not too bad! Can't wait to be back to try other dishes 😍

I recently visited Shukuu Izakaya and really enjoyed the experience. The food was consistently good across the board—the oden was warm and comforting, while the garlic fried rice was super fragrant and satisfying. I also loved the unagi with egg, which was rich and well-balanced, and the grilled skewers were nicely done with great flavour. The cheese chips were a standout snack too—crispy, addictive, and perfect to share. Overall, a great spot for casual Japanese comfort food with a cosy izakaya vibe.

The juicy tender smoky grilled chicken was to die for , paired with their water spinach which was wok hei out so amazingly the smoky flavour was savoured in every crunchy bite . The Tom Yam soup with prawns was a huge ass portion and so yummy .

Amazing spot for a date night

Our family went there to try their food and thought we could use the one-for-one main course. The staff was not able to converse in English properly and it took us a while to understand that for a group of 4, one will have to order 2 Mari dish costing $46 per set, then you can select 2 other Ala carte main course as the free item.

Do click on the ‘redeem’ to read through these before u even head there.

We end up ordering the Bulgogi and the nachos without utilising the deal since we don’t think we can finish two Mari sets🥲 The taste was ok but don’t think we will go back again as we don’t think it’s value for money at all.

Perfect steakhouse for a date night. Their sharing plates were all hits, especially the crunchy chicharrones and Wagyu striploin, which arrived with perfect doneness. The steak was cut into bite sizes, easy to eat, super tender and juicy. Perfectly paired with the crisp Boston gem lettuce salad which was refreshing and crisp. The tiramisu was super creamy and tasty.

Had a lovely dinner at Shukuu Izakaya and really enjoyed the experience. The ambience is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, great for a relaxed dinner.

I particularly enjoyed the spicy salmon don. The salmon was fresh and the sauce had just the right level of spice, not overpowering but enough to give it a kick. Very comforting bowl. The mushroom and veggie grill was also nicely done, lightly seasoned and not too heavy.

We ordered quite a variety including grilled chicken, pork balls, and a sashimi platter to share. The sashimi was fresh and beautifully plated.

Overall, a very pleasant dining experience with good food and a cosy atmosphere. Would recommend for casual dinners or small gatherings.

We had dinner at Shukuu Izakaya recently, and it was a very satisfying meal overall. The place has a cosy, lively vibe and feels like a proper Japanese izakaya with warm lighting and a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Good for winding down after a long day.

The garlic fried rice was surprisingly one of the highlights for me. Fragrant, not too oily, and packed with that wok hei flavour. Simple dish but done very well. The grilled pork was also excellent: nicely charred on the outside, juicy on the inside, and very flavourful. You can tell they know how to handle their grill.

We also shared the mixed sashimi platter (15 pieces) which was fresh and nicely presented. The cuts were thick and satisfying.

Overall, solid food, good portions, and a comfortable ambience. Would come back again for the grilled dishes and fried rice.

Been visiting Aroy Mak Mookata at least once a year since their old location at Macpherson Road, but now they have moved to Jalan Besar, opposite Sim Lim Tower, near Rochor MRT.

The mookata buffet used to be split between normal and premium pricing, but now it is only one price at $23.80 nett, introduced a few months back, with no GST or service charge. If you top up $5, you get free flow fountain drinks such as authentic Thai Milk Tea, Thai Green Milk Tea, Lemongrass, and more.

With this pricing, you get seafood, marinated meat, vegetables, processed food, and free flow sauces and condiments, plus one free ice cream. Seafood selection includes flower crab, clams, sotong, dory fish, mussels, and oysters. There used to be more options like crayfish and scallops, but still a steal considering the price. Freshness was good, especially for prawns and clams, while the rest were decent.

There was a wide range of marinated meats including chicken, beef, and pork. Marination was mild, would be better with stronger flavour, but at least the cuts were bite sized. I recommend sticking to non‑marinated or sesame flavour, and also getting the smoked duck. Dip into their sauce and enjoy.

Soup base was too plain. Even after cooking all the food, it stayed plain. It is good that soup starts neutral, but after cooking, the juices should enrich it. This was a disappointment, and I hope they improve the taste of the soup base.

They offered various dipping sauces, including different types of Thai chili sauce, belachan chilli, garlic, chilli padi, and even mayo and nacho cheese sauce, to enhance the flavour.

Overall, in terms of taste and quality, I felt it fell short compared to the past. In terms of pricing, it was still worth it. Eat mookata, enjoy air‑con, and free flow drinks. I do miss their braised meat rice, which they served for a period.

Cash or PayNow/PayLah only.

($56++) we chose thai tom yum and tomato based soup broth. But I felt that their soup broth got salty aftertaste tbh, I doubt that I will be going bck again and quite expensive for 1 pax during weekend for dinner time. They got a variety for ingredients (veg, seafood, meat, rice and noodles). I remembered we all got struggled with fortune fish paste lol how to cook inside the hotpot and luckily the staff helped us to cook. It's quite filling experience as we ordered too much meat tbh.

The yam XLB is always a highlight for me after dining here. Each dumpling is delicate and generously filled with a smooth yam paste that carries a gentle sweetness. It’s the kind of treat that rounds off the meal perfectly. I also appreciate that it’s vegetarian so my friends can enjoy it too 》$10.50 / 10 Pcs

We tried the fried rice with vegetables for the first time because someone at the table needed a vegetarian option and it turned out better than expected. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, with each grain distinct, while the chopped greens added freshness and a light crunch. It was surprisingly a dish that felt easy to enjoy without being heavy 》$13
