Mookata originates from Thailand. It is basically a Thai barbecue surrounded by a rim of soup base for steamboat. Best of both worlds in a pot.

People usually use pork lard for BBQing. The catch is that all the juices from the meat/seafood/lard will flow down into the soup while they are on the set. Sinful but it is good~

ChokChai Mookata is a humble stall located in one of the coffee shops along Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. It is about 7-10 mins stroll from the nearest MRT station (Ang Mo Kio). You can take the chance to burn some calories you have gained (which is so necessary)/spend some quality time with your friends!

Our favourite meat choice for BBQing is Honey pork belly. The two other, thai black pepper chicken and thai garlic lean meat, is not bad as well. People who love stronger flavours may like them better.
I heard the prawns were really good too.
Other than the BBQ, its counterpart fared even better on my scale. The soup is a m a z i n g. It is light and delicious on its own, great after we started BBQing. No wonder some customers have been asking for a steamboat option.
Remember to pair your food with the Green/Red sauces.

Green - Sourish, taste like Tom Yum sauce
Red - Spicy

Their sauces are all made from scratch, something you don't get a lot these days. I like to mix two of them up since I like both of them.
The menu is quite standard but you can still find a good variety of meat, vegetables, steamboat usual and carbohydrates.
Prices are reasonable, even for the ala carte menu.

I really like places away, yet not too far off, from the crowded malls. I get enjoy my food in peace, catch up with my friends without shouting over the noise. You will also be glad to know that ChokChai does not charge GST nor service charge!
