One of the places that we kept hearing about having the best mookata in town was KhidThung Mookata Authentic Thai BBQ. We visited it and we must say, it’s quite a mixed bag.

But first, let’s go over the good things about this place starting with its prices. Dining here is affordable thanks to the reasonable packages they had per head.

We chose their large mookata set for only RM 79 and it does live up to its name in terms of serving size. 

For instance, our group consisted of five people, and the inclusions of this package were more than enough for us!

This particular set came with various cuts of pork, enoki mushrooms, crab sticks, scallops and more. It also came with a bunch of side dishes and drinks, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Since this is a mookata, it also came with a soup, and this was where we were disappointed. Sadly, it didn’t taste as good as their other offerings. 

We ordered the tom yum soup which was supposed to be sour but what we got had this overpowering tomato flavour.

Although, ambience-wise, we can’t complain about anything in this restaurant as it was clean and decorated nicely. Overall, KhidThung Mookata Authentic Thai BBQ set a nice tone for our team’s dinner, paving the way for a great evening out!

Pros

  • Reasonable prices
  • Tons of inclusions per set
  • Neat premises

Cons

  • Less than stellar soup

“I like how the food tastes, the meat and the ingredients are good! The price is affordable, RM49.90 for 2 pax. The portion is just nice. Don’t expect so much from the soup, but the overall ambience, service and food are commendable. Will come back again! :)” —Christina Yong, Google Reviews

Good Thai-style bbq

A famous chain that offers mookata in Malaysia is Moo-Ka-Ta Krua Thai BBQ Steamboat Restaurant. It has several branches across the country but the specific one we dined in was in Jalan, Subang Jaya.

Right off the bat, we were blown away by the variety of sets they offer aside from the usual mookata package. The particular set we ended up ordering was the pork belly and bacon set which not only came with meat but with a variety of veggies as well.

What we loved about our order was the freshness of each inclusion in the set which was a huge deal for our experience. Aside from that, we also appreciated how generous they were with the serving size of each set we ordered which attributed to us being extremely full by the end.

The soup wasn’t too shabby either. We ordered the tom yum soup, which in true Thai-style fashion, was a perfect balance of sour and spicy.

As for its ambience, it’s your typical bbq spot that has both indoor and outdoor seating. It doesn’t feature anything special but it’s not bad at the same time.

As for the things we didn’t like, there are only a few noteworthy things. For starters, the most obvious problem about this place was the limited parking since it’s located at SS15.

Lastly, we didn’t like how some of the pork cuts served to us had a bad fat-to-meat ratio. Even though the fat provided a rich flavour, it sometimes overpowered the taste of the pork overall.

Pros

  • Generous servings
  • Menu variety

Cons

  • Difficult parking
  • Inconsistent fat-to-meat pork slices

Customer Reviews

“First time coming to Mookata SS15 dinner. Coincidentally the weather is cooling and chilling suitable bbq and hot soup.

Food is clean and hygiene overall. Staffs there are nice. Friendly and very efficient. Very proud of that. Keep up the standard.

The price is reasonable too. The drinks are super large lol. ” —Kah Yan, Google Reviews

Delicious and affordable Thai food

“Very delicious and affordable Thai food. Extremely well-flavored and cooked to perfection. Won’t disappoint.

Hint: After the green curry arrives, order lime. Squeeze the limes given into the green curry. It’ll take the flavour to a whole new level.” —Akama1, Google Reviews

If you want to experience an authentic Thai barbeque experience, we recommend trying out Thai In Mookata.

From the get-go, we will already state that we thoroughly enjoyed our time here in their restaurant, for various reasons.

For instance, their menu had so much variety which made it exciting for us to try as many of their dishes as possible. We ended up ordering one of their mookata sets and it came with a boatload of inclusions.

Aside from the cuts of delicious meat, we were also provided with glass noodles and an assortment of fresh veggies which were both refillable.

The set also came with their signature pork bone soup which was so flavourful. Every sip we took was so meaty which perfectly went well with the other inclusions from their sets.

We also appreciated how clean the meat was presented when it was brought to our table as they were wrapped in plastic. This type of hygiene and cleanliness was a continuous theme that we noticed on their premises as well.

For us personally, however, we felt like their operating hours are a tad bit late. You can’t dine in this establishment for lunch as it doesn’t open until 5:00 PM.

Pros

  • Clean premises
  • Reasonable prices
  • Wide variety of offerings
  • Delicious soup

Cons

  • Late operating hours

“Love the apple plum juice, nice drink,  very refreshing.

The price is reasonable.  We ordered set A ( Tom Yum soup needs RM5 extra charge) for 3 pax, glass noodles and vegetables that are refillable.  Food is fresh, yummylicious when eating with the special Thai dipping sauce.

A spacious restaurant,  inside with big fan, outside with tall table + few fans too, mosquito-free zone. It is a recommended place to hang out with friends.  Will definitely come back again.”—Kah Yan, Google Reviews

“Ordered set B with tom yam soup (top up RM5)The only difference is set B has extra meat slices only. Refillable glass noodles and veggies. Tomyam soup was slightly spicy and okay. The sauce here is very very nice. Thai milk tea L size was very big and recommended to share. Service could be better because the worker didn’t know how to properly communicate. It gets packed and dress light.” —kelly low, Google Reviews

Our time in The Piggy Mookata was quite different from regular mookata spots in Subang Jaya and we mean that in the best way possible. This is mainly because we got to use a charcoal grill as opposed to the usual gas stoves found in other restaurants.

We know that this was the way that mookata was originally introduced and when we sat at our table, we immediately knew we were in for something great. Thankfully, we were right as they featured various sets with tons of inclusions.

The one we chose included a generous platter of pork belly as well as some fresh veggies. We also got a twin pot so we could cook two kinds of soups simultaneously.

We were delighted with our order, especially with the meat as the pork belly was sliced in perfect sizes and had great fat-to-meat ratios. These thin slices of meat were easy to cook on their grill or in the soup pot.

Another highlight we think is worth mentioning is their green curry. We loved the taste of this in-house dish and we initially thought that it wouldn’t go well with our mookata set but we couldn’t be more wrong.

The establishment itself was noticeably more pleasant compared to other barbeque joints which can be attributed to their use of charcoal.

The biggest downside we noticed with this establishment was their small serving portions for their meat. It was a good thing that their pork tasted great which sort of made up for the small serving size.

Pros

  • Charcoal grill
  • Reasonable prices
  • Variety of sets

Cons

  • Small servings

Customer Reviews

Nice sauce

“All the meat portions are rather small. But the taste makes up for it. The juices from the meat flow down into the soup making it full of ‘kick. Oh yeah, and their sauce is nice as well.”—lee konglean, Google Reviews

Great food

“Great service, great food, great drinks. Pork slices are not too thin. Great sauce flavours. Super Thai milk tea. Not too packed, great place to chill with your partner or friends on weekdays as not crowded. Will be back! Ez parking weekdays” —Sean Andrew, Google Reviews

If you’re looking for a quick fix to satisfy your mookata cravings, it doesn’t get as simple and authentic as ThaiSom Mookata.

Featuring an open layout, this restaurant let us experience an authentic way to try mookata as we broke a sweat while sipping our hot soup. It’s not for everyone, however, as other customers prefer to dine somewhere with air conditioning.

We ordered their set which consisted of a generous serving of pork and fresh veggies. Aside from that, we decided to order some prawns to add some more seafood into the mix which we didn’t regret at all.

They also had legit bacon strips. These weren’t regular pork belly slices disguised as delicious bacon.

Of course, we had to get some drinks as well which was easy considering they have a variety of juices listed on the menu. The one we ordered had some fresh fruit slices which made them extra refreshing, perfect for washing down the savoury meat we stuffed inside our mouths.

What we loved about this restaurant the most was its affordable prices which of course came with its set of drawbacks. For us, however, this was still a great dining experience and we’ll surely come back soon for their delicious pork slices and fresh veggies.

Pros

  • Affordable packages
  • Great ventilation
  • Generous servings

Cons

  • Lack of air conditioning

Customer Reviews

“Great location even it is slightly warmer, but I feel the air ventilation is so much better to have mookata. Thumbs up to their affordable price.”—Wee Ling Oh, Google Reviews

Will come here again

“Food is good. Quantity wise I feel it’s so worth it as there are so many varieties the 1st time you order, very filling too. I ordered bacon, and the quality of the bacon is super good and greasy. Not like certain places where you order bacon but it’s actually just pork belly slices. All in all, will definitely come here again” —Celine Lok, Google Reviews
