MK
Restaurant is one of Little Devil's favourite restaurant. Every time
we are in Thailand, it is a definitely-must to have one meal in MK.
So when MK re-open its branch in Singapore, she has been pestering me
to eat there. We were discouraged by the waiting time at first and
following that, we have a few trips to Bangkok, so there is no urge
to visit MK. This visit was also by coincidence when we need to do
something at 313@Somerset.
When
you enter the restaurant, you will find the familiar feeling as MK
Restaurants in Thailand. Starting from the furniture, decorations,
even the cutleries and steamboat induction cooker and pot. Basically
95% “same same”.

However
when you look through the menu, you will find some items from regular
MK Restaurant not available here. Items on the menu are in three
languages: English, Chinese and Thai. Apparently they are using the
same menu as MK Gold, in Paragon Bangkok. Few of the favourite items,
for example rugby and ping pong balls, that we like are not in the
menu, great disappointment.

We proceed to order their
signature dishes such as crispy roast pork & char siew
($12.90/small), jade noodles ($3), crystal fish egg ball ($4), shrimp
wanton ($4.50), MK signature ball ($5), pork liver ($4), sliced beef
($16/large), special seaweed roll ($5) and mushrooms and vegetables.

The broth are standard.
Clear and subtle. The food also come in the dark red plastic bowl
that you can stack as high as you can. The jade noodle is very
springy with fried garlic on top. The Crispy pork and char siew has
the similar taste as in Thailand, however as they are not using Thai
pork, the meat is not as tender as those in Thailand.

For steamboat items, all
the ingredients are quite fresh. The crystal fish egg ball has the
crunchy taste in it, together with the shrimp wanton and MK Signature
balls. The sliced beef has a good marbling and for the price,
quantity given are quite generous. Of course having MK steamboat
won't be complete without the MK Sauce. It was spicy and shiok
according to LD. It seems they have gone through the re-branding to
elevate their brand in Singapore. For Chubby Botak Koala, I sticks
with light soya sauce :)

It seems that MK is
really serious in relaunching its branch in Singapore. Half of the
service staff are Thai and well trained. They brought with them the
friendliness of Thailand in their service, and their professionalism
ensure everything works without a hitch. I was impressed. Did I
mention, they also bring their ice tea here as well.

Overall, I find that MK
has done very well in the opening of a new branch in Singapore. It
almost has not notice any difference whether you are dining in
Singapore or Thailand. Price is very competitive, considering the
location. Best of all, if LD need to satisfy her MK cravings, she can
always pop by here for a meal. Cheers!!
