As if you weren’t already spoiled for choice when looking for mookata in Singapore,
the city’s number one mookata chain, MooJaa, has yet another outlet at 220 Upper
Thomson Road to keep mookata fans stoked. Oh, you don’t know what mookata
is? If you’ve spent any time in Singapore or Malaysia recently, you’d be laughed
across the border. Mookata, the latest food craze to take hold of Singaporeans,
is a traditional Northern Thai method of cooking meats, seafood, and vegetables
using a dome-shaped and charcoal-heated grill-steamboat combination that sort of
resembles a soldier’s helmet. The legend goes that Thai soldiers used their helmets
to grill their food, giving birth to the mookata, but thankfully you won’t find the scent
of burnt hair and jungle sweat in MooJaa’s premises. Instead, expect the tantalising
smells of grilling meats and light broths to pull you in with a group of friends for a
unique food-sharing experience.
Similar to Korean gelbi, MooJaa’s friendly staff prepare the mookata BBQ
using the finest white-coloured Binchotan charcoal, which is relatively smokeless
and even burning. The mookata is set into diners’ tables, leaving room for delicious
platters that can include anything from slices of Angus beef or tender strips of pork,
shiitake mushrooms and fresh vegetables, which diners grill and dunk in the moat of
broth surrounding the domed grill as they like. 220 Upper Thomson Road is already
jumping with Singapore’s mookata addicts – if you haven’t experienced the mookata
phenomenon for yourself, this is a perfect spot to catch the buzz.
