Siam Thai in Pasig: A Unique Dining Experience with Mookata and More
Mookata is a popular Thai dining experience that blends the best of barbecue and hot pot. At the center of the table, diners grill meat on a domed skillet while a flavorful broth surrounds it, allowing them to cook vegetables, seafood, and noodles simultaneously. This interactive style of dining makes Mookata ideal for group gatherings, offering a fun and communal way to enjoy a meal.

In Manila, particularly in Pasig and Quezon City, Siam Thai is one of the standout restaurants offering this unique fusion of Thai barbecue and hot pot. With its Mookata set-up, guests can savor the experience of grilling meat at the center of the table while indulging in a rich, aromatic broth, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and social occasions.
The Mookata set is available for Php 695, providing a delicious mix of meats and vegetables for grilling and dipping into the simmering soup.
For those seeking individual dishes, Siam Thai’s à la carte menu is equally impressive. A must-try is the Siam Whole Fried Chicken (Php 750), marinated with a secret blend of spices and fried to crispy perfection.
