The celebration was postponed because we both fell sick on his birthday weekend :( both of us had high fever that went up to 39 degree Celsius and throat infection. (Which resulted in my taking MC on the 2nd week of work and I'm still recovering from the illness T.T)
Buttttt postponing the dinner had resulted in full attendance! So I guess it wasn't a bad thing after all!
Given Kw's love for steamboat and BBQ, I suggested Mookata so we can have the best of both worlds! After some research and Jason's suggestion, we decided on the newly opened branch at Serangoon Gardens - Tomyum Kungfu!
They don't take reservations on Friday and weekends so we had no choice but to queue and there was a huge swarm of people waiting in line, and every group had at least a party of 5. We braved through the hunger for about 45 minutes and we finally got a seat!!!
The pork set that's suitable for 5-6 people.
The chicken set that's for 2-3 pax! For some reason they like to add quail eggs to stuff.
The veggie that's included in the set and the must-have in every Thai restaurant - Thai Iced Tea!
And we dig in!!!
Platter of beef and sambal kangkong!
The bowl of brown sauce is a mixture of quail eggs, sesame oil, soya sauce and some other stuff which we were suppose to dip the meat in before cooking. YES THIS WAS GOOD TOO.
Given our insatiable love for kangkong, we ordered a serving of fried kangkong, which is one of their signature dishes! It came with a sauce (on the top left hand corner of this picture and it deserves more camera focus than this!!!) which was like a mixture of some spice and coconut milk. I was initially skeptical about FRIED kangkong but this is really good!!! There were mixed feelings for the sauce, Jennifer and I loved it!! But some of them didn't like it. To each his or her own, try it for yourself!
The fried kangkong was also good on its own. The batter it was fried in masked the veg's taste and it was just crispy and fragrant! The sauce (imo) had a rich and smooth after-taste which I loved!
The stove burns on charcoal instead of gas can which is more authentic and makes the meat taste better! The oil from the meat didn't get all mixed up in the soup like it did the first time I had mookata. Everything's ala carte. The bill came up to slightly below 30$ per pax. I would say the food is good and I will be back!!
We all bunned up our hair to brace ourselves from the smell that was gonna stay in our hair for days!
