If you are residing near Sunset Lane (which is near to SIM) and you like the famous Thai Mookata (kinda like steamboat and BBQ), then you are in luck because Happy Mookata is located just around the corner for you!

Mookata originated from Northern Thailand and the stories has it that the soldiers used their helmet to grill the meat thus leading to this Dom-shaped hot pot seen today. For those whom had been to the Happy Mookata at Golden Mile Complex, this is THEM making a statement in the west now!

I like the clean looking Alfresco style exterior and they definitely have more than ample seats and table to house the crowd even on a weekend.

People saying we are looking more and more alike. I am wondering if it is because we had been eating too much of the same food together!

Nvm.. I shall bear with the ‘twins’ look for this worthy Mookata! ><

I like the fact that you get to enjoy all these great food at a MERE $25.90! If you stayed in the Mookata scene long enough, you would definitely agree that this is one of the most affordable Mookata pricing.

You get to enjoy a whole load of fresh food ranging from their own specially-marinated Pork, Garlic Chicken to Black pepper Beef which we couldn’t stop ordering until our fourth plates each. They also have the standard food fare for steamboat eg sausages, butterfish, fish ball, meat balls, prawns etc. I would say they offer quite a good selection of raw food and they are of good quality!

So we kickstarted the meal with the usual first step which is to grease the stove with the Lard oil before grilling the meat! For those new to Mookata, usually 2-3 pieces of the Lard will be placed on the top of the dome-shaped stove while the oil will leak down all over the stove before you start grilling.

For the broth, they use standard chicken stock broth, but good news is the soup get rich very fast because of the meat grease that leaks into the soup.

The beef, chicken & pork slices there were all extremely tasty after grilled!

One other thing I like about eating mookata here is the fact that the place is very well-ventilated, so much so you do not have to worry smelling like the very meat you were grilling at the end of your meal.

Furthermore, the shop is peppered with hardworking and smily staffs which were always more than willing to fetch us more food regardless the number of times they have to do so.

Apart from the raw food, they also have a good range of fried cooked food e.g. All-Time favourite nuggets, popcorn chicken and french fries! So if you are bringing the kids along, you can be fully assured they will have something they like to munch on while you get to enjoy your meal, parents!

One other thing I like from Happy mookata is their Chili sauce with a nice tantalizing taste. Despite the nice marination, I would still dip them into the chili sauce for an extra flavor!

All in all, I enjoyed my food tasting experience with them very much because of the good selection of fresh food & tasty marinated meats, the clean and well-ventilated exterior and topping it off with the great customer service from their friendly staff.

If I need to chill with a bunch of friend staying within the west region, Happy Mookata would definitely be the top of my mind!

Dated the busy boyfriend out for a dinner date at MooJaa Mookata. And I must say that It has been a long time since our last and proper dinner together. We would usually just eat somewhere nearby or our very-usual-dining-place-Ajisen before movie instead of just meeting up for a dinner because both of us live at each end of the island.

I wanna thank MooJaa Mookata too, for this private food tasting session. I really appreciate private food tasting session because at times, all we want is to just eat with people whom we are close with and we can be ourselves instead of being awkward.

I have tried Mookata before and they gave me a different feel from this MooJaa Mookata. Reason being that was probably the ingredients used in the previous place was NOT FRESH. Some places can be quite dirty as well – Well, I am just speaking from my truthful experience.

Steamboat can be messy, smelly and hot. But MooJaa is clean and air-conditioned. I like the fact that it’s air conditioned. I am not the one who loves to perspire while enjoying my steamboat LOL.

They have this modern yet thai-ish feel.

NANANANANA. Their pig logo! So cute! If you’re wondering why is it a pig, it is because “Moo Ka Ta”, for the uninitiated, literally means “Pork Skillet” in Thai and refers to the special cooking apparatus created to enjoy both barbecue and hot pot at the same time.

While waiting for our table to be cleared, and Boyfriend (Mr. D) was feeling gloomy because he was very hungry. Mooooo.

Here’s a peek into their menu. As you can see, you can go for different sets of Mookata. For me, I feel that 1 set of mookata is sufficient for 3. Probably because I can’t eat much too.

The very thoughtful boss also served us their signature Thai Iced Tea while waiting too. I am a milk tea lover and I must have it EVERY single day. No joke.

The tea is nice. It has a special taste that I can’t explain. Mr. D had two cups of it!

Their special sauce which was imported from Thailand themselves! The sauce on the left is the sweet and sour seafood sauce and it GOES WELL WITH PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING. I wish I could bring one bottle of it home.

We have eaten cheese tofu, cheesy hotdogs, but what about cheese balls made of chicken meat?

And if you had noticed, they use white (Japanese) charcoals instead of the black charcoals.

It is not healthy to eat Mookata with black charcoals as the ashes and all could get into the food, resulting in your food in becoming more acidic, which could subsequently lead to health problems :/

Thumps up for the good choice of spending more to get these charcoals just to keep us safe!

The soup base for the hot pot section is brewed for five hours to create a chicken and pork bone broth that’s tasty and light in the beginning, and turns incredibly flavourful and complex by the middle of your Moo Ka Ta session from all those meaty juices, kissed with a smoky hint from the charcoal fire.

Not that I want to praise this eating place, but Mr. D really love the broth.

Here comes the most important part: ALL THEIR INGREDIENTS ARE SUPER SUPER FRESH!!

At MooJaa, you never have to worry about oxidized, clumpy meat that has been exposed to room temperature or under-marinated because it’s prepared in mass batches. MooJaa’s head chef personally handpicks the seafood and meat every morning and then marinates it herself in a secret marinade that is MSG free. The resulting meats are tender, juicy, and bursting with great Thai flavours.

One of the staff will always be there to help you arrange and start the dining experience. You can subsequently add on from there.

After setting up and waiting for the food to be cooked.

MooJaa also offers more upmarket options for those with discerning palates – Kurobuta Pork and Angus Beef are available for you to Moo Ka Ta.

No luncheon meat or cheap hot dogs – instead, expect Hokkaido scallops and Surimi crab sticks.

Mr. D cleared this plate of Angus Beef :O

Their white rice tasted different too. It tasted like butter rice but it isn’t. I just can’t explain. But you could just finish the bowl of rice without the need of having other side dishes. (For me, actually) lol.

Our beautiful master piece :X

Check out the picture below for a little bonus!

After eating, Mr. D told me to rub his tummy because something was stated on the cover of the menu. Do check it out there yourself if you’re curious! Hehe.
