Mookata Upper Thomson Thai Me Up

Mookata Upper Thomson

Was really excited to see this new Mookata stall because my family have never tried it before and it would be fun to eat it together since it's traditionally a gathering food in Thailand. I'm not good at remembering stall names but this one is quite quirky... 'Thai Me Up".

I liked this write up that is written by the boss of the shop. Gave a heartwarming feeling.

heartfelt message from Andrew
Mookata literally means pork skillet in Thai.
It is one of the favourite get-together meals in Thailand.
What attracted me was the bond it creates among people.
Friends would criticise the food/chilli together or love it.
Family members would boast about "ah"  I can  make a better one.
Whether good or bad, there is communication.
I really hope to bring this harmony between you and your loved ones!
and of course good food.
Thus, I present to you, Mookata

We ordered an Original set to share among 5 people. Though the portion didn't seem very big, we were surprisingly full after finishing our drinks. The power of water expanding the food in your stomach.

My dad was so creative. Because the Mookata soup gets quite salty after the meat juices flow in, and also the egg is quite hard to eat when beaten in the soup, my dad suggested pouring the egg over the cooked meat to make an omelette. Best idea ever ! I posted a video of it on Instagram.

Chan Jin Mookata ! Which means I eat Mookata in Thai. hehheh I hope I remember correctly :p

Overall the food is not great in my opinion, but definitely something new to try out close to home :)

Mookata has been sprouting up all around the place, proving that this Thai Steamboat is getting more popular in Singapore. I first had Mookata in Golden Mile, going home with a full belly, fun time with friends and smelling like I got smoked like smoke 
I'm really pleased to share about this Mookata shop in Toa Payoh/ Braddell. 

What I love about it ? 

1. Near Upper Thomson Road!!
2. Best price 
3. Lots of parking lots
4.  Open Air

This shop is located in the food court of an industrial estate so I expect it gets really crowded during lunch time. I don't think you'd want to eat barbecue or steamboat in the afternoon because you would be sweaty and uncomfortable. I went there at night and it was the best location we could ask for as there was plenty of parking, and the open air seating meant it was cooling and our clothes didn't smell strongly of barbecue when we went home.

One set costs $32 and comes with one plate of assorted meat and one plate of vegetables.  Super worth it because I've been to places that serves much less, for more expensive. Some places squeeze veggies and meat onto one plate. I was so suprised with the generous serving here.

I feel that it's also very traditional as they cook using charcoal, instead of the usual portable gas stoves. No need to ask them to change the gas canister and feel frustrated.

Add the leek into the soup to make it sweeter. Later on, the juice from the cooking meats will flow into the soup and make it more tasty too. The soup taste constantly changes.
