A friend had cancelled me twice for mookata and my craving for it finally peaked a few days ago; I told myself I die-die must have my mookata! As I was working from home, somewhere near would be beneficial and a search on the web brought me to Moo Story which had a rating of 5.0 amongst 37 reviewers on Google!
Immediately after 6pm, I popped out of my house, strolled over to the block opposite Yishun Safra, took a look at the menu and within minutes, ordered the set menu a (platter for 2). Maybe because it was a Wednesday, the place wasn't as crowded as expected.
For S$29.90, I think we got quite a decent set with vegetables, meat and seafood. At Thai Hao Chi Mookata, the set was pricier although I think the portion was also larger. Actually, I am not as picky as most importantly is the taste.
Most important ingredient; the pork lard! It's nothing now but wait till it's charred and crispy; an absolutely delightful "snack" to indulge in at the end of the meal.
Vegetable platter - a mix of cabbage, sweet corn, mushrooms, carrots, kangkong, egg and tang hoon. Not my focus anyway as I am a meat eater when it comes to bbq / steamboat.
Meat platter - dory fish, squid, prawns, salmon, hotdog, crab stick, marinated pork, marinated chicken and pork belly. You know what I am looking for to? The chicken and pork as the Thai marination is always so addictive! I would normally order extra servings but since it's my first time, better play safe.
The two types of chilli; the right one was spicier. I think it's essential to have chilli as a dip for the grilled meat and the best one I had so far was the garlic chilli dip from this family seafood at Bangkok! Since we can't travel now, I would have to settle with the ones we have in Singapore.
Grilling in progress! Even though the vessel was gas-powered; the good thing is that the pan was non-stick which means you don't have to grapple with an increasingly burnt pan as time goes by. Only issue was that you don't get that deep-set smoky flavour typical of charcoal barbecue.
Throwing in the mama instant mee (chargeable at S$1.00 a pack) at almost the end of our session. Compared to plain, white rice, I have a deep affection for instant noodle and the mama tom yum mee is one of my favourite!
While we managed to clean up literally everything that's edible, I am actually not 100% positive in my review. Ingredients were fresh, including the salmon and I do not have any complaint except for the second most important ingredient, the marinated meat. They tasted more like marination in the Korean style and if I want Korean bbq, I would have visited I'm Kim Korean BBQ.
