# Thai Restaurants in Bugis

Thai food in Singapore ranges from casual eateries serving tom yum, green curry and pad krapow to restaurant chains and boat-noodle shops. Spice levels vary widely, and fish sauce and shrimp paste are standard, so ask if you are vegetarian or have a shellfish allergy. Thai barbecue-steamboat is listed separately under mookata.

## FAQs
### What is the difference between a Thai restaurant and mookata?
Mookata is a Thai barbecue-steamboat where you grill meat and cook soup at the table. Thai restaurants serve cooked dishes such as curries, stir-fries, salads and soups. Lookup lists mookata places separately.

### What does "++" mean on a Singapore menu?
"++" means a 10% service charge and 9% GST will be added. GST is charged on the service charge too, so the multiplier is 1.1 × 1.09 = 1.199 – a $50++ meal costs about $59.95. IRAS lets restaurants that levy a service charge show pre-GST prices, but they must state prominently that prices are subject to GST and service charge.

### What happened to the A, B, C, D hygiene grades in Singapore?
From 19 January 2026 SFA replaced the annual A–D hygiene grade with the SAFE framework. Outlets now get A (more than three years with no major lapse), B (one to three years), NEW (operating under a year) or C (a court conviction for a food-safety offence or a licence suspension under the demerit-points system). Scan the QR code on the SFA licence at the counter to see the current grade.
