555 Villa Thai 
(located waaaaay past Changi Prison)
Recommended by Bob.D

A hidden Thai mookata (akin a combination of Korean barbecue and Chinese hot pot) joint, found past Changi Prison and just of RWY20R/02L at Changi Airport. 555Vila Thai has a very casual and musical atmosphere, which over looks the landing/takeoff runway at Airport. One’s pretty much as close to an active runway as possible.

Apart from its unique location and atmosphere, the owner of the place is a musician himself and enjoys having live band appearances to add to the lively atmosphere. Also their Mookatas are charcoal powered, which gives that only-charcoal-cooked taste at nostalgia.

Ordered On:23June2019
UFO Pot Set Mookata for 4 79SGD

*The difference from the traditional was that the UFO pot-set offered more ingredients. Looked impressive but not worth the quality of meat and range. Strangely they gave Bak-Kwa (BBQ Pork often seen in Chinese new year.* Sadly some of the meat was of questionable quality and taking that into account with the serving, overall maybe slightly over priced. What worked for it was they using charcoal to power the Mookata which gives that nostalgic feel and that unique charcoal fired flavor. For about 20SGD per pax, in other locations one could be enjoying a free flow buffet already.*
Deep Fried Kang Kong W/Fritters SGD13

 *Pretty alright. Nothing Fancy*
Spicy Steam Seabass SGD28

*One of the best serving of this fish I've had. It wasn’t over cooked and the spice level just right to accent but not overpowering. The fish was done just right!*
Seafood Tomyam Kung Fu Soup SGD16

 *Great serving with lots of ingredients. Authentic Thai and again the spice level is just right. Thoroughly enjoyable and one of the better Tom Yums had!*
Happy Hour is from 5-8pm with good offers up to 40% off regular retail price. Happy hour pint at 9SGD/pint.
Total fed 6+3kods about SGD30/pax (not inclusive of alcohol)
Ambience 4/5 4.5/5 (must like aeroplanes)
*The owner himself is a musician and they have live band performances as well*
Food 3/5
Service 2.5/5
*Some grumpy waitress. They didn’t really listen to request for spoons or bowls but gave whatever they thought you needed. We had requested for them to dish out the soup into smaller bowls as the table was tight on space. They either conveniently forgot or not to hear to the request. Thou there were a fair number of staff, it seemed only a few could take orders. Hence there were both mix up of orders and staff directing another staff to take orders. A little disorganized it seems.*
Value 3/5
*A little pricy for the remote location* 

Thou service for our experience lacked, a better bet would be to go for their al-la-carte dishes, and if still aching for a Mookata, go for their standard ones and have the add-ons would be of better value. The happy hour timings are great (5-8pm) and go later in the evening about 730pm onwards as the live bands start their gigs.
Large groups may require reservations as the many of the tables were already reserved prior.
