The eatery’s owners, a Singaporean and his Thai-born wife, wanted to sell the business they have been running for 16 years so they could retire in Thailand.
He and Vernon had decided to invest in Korat as they were impressed with the food there. “We so distinctly remember the first time we tried Korat. We cried tears of joy, and also because some of the dishes were freaking spicy,” Justin joked, adding that they “loved the vibe of the whole operation.”The Muttons and their business partners paid over $200,000 to take over Korat, above owner Raymond’s initial asking price.
The cooking is all done by Korat’s longtime head chef and kitchen helpers, who have all stayed on after the ownership change. There are also meat, seafood and veggie Thai-style zi char dishes from $9.50 for the cafe’s Signature Crispy Omelette to Chu Chee , Thai-style crispy sea bass drenched in a red curry sauce. Korat’s repertoire of soups, salads and curries stays unchanged.Justin recalled that The Muttons first Instagrammed Korat Thai Cafe only last year. “A few people commented like ‘huh? You mean you only know about this place now?!’ So embarrassing. [But taking over] felt like the right move at the right time.
