One will be surprised to find a Chicken Pot and Mookata place here. Yup, I daresay 2ThePot is the first and only restaurant that serves both delicacies here.
The interior is pretty white, neat and rather spacious.The staff was very friendly and accommodating, which is a plus point. Keep it up!
Food came in no time.
Appetizer.... an Indian cracker called papadum was served. Wow, that sure was a surprise.... wasn't expecting an Indian appetizer to kickstart this interesting meal journey. You can dip the papadum into the sweet yet slightly sticky chilli sauce. Interesting concotion for the chilli sauce, which is not your usual Thai sweet chili that is watery, but this contains sesame seeds, chilli, and a celery, no fish sauce base though.
Thai Iced Tea came next. Pretty awesome I must say, comparable to the ones you may find in Thai cafes or the road side drink stores in Thailand.
First up, Spicy Chicken Pot. Impressive array of ingredients can be seen here, especially the long uncut chilli! Looks hot! The gravy is a little too salty , chicken sizes are perfect, and soft to the bite. Not as spicy as it may seem, I will say if you are looking for a spicy kick, this is not the one to go for. With so much gravy, rice will be a good option to go with this.
Rating: 3/5
Mookata, the one everyone was waiting for! It's up and coming next.I will say the Mookata served here was pretty good, especially the fresh ingredients offered.
Not too much, not too little. My only comment for this is that the tom yum soup is not spicy enough. Nevertheless, I guess the owner is catering this for the local community.
Rating 3.5/5
Laska Chicken Pot is up next, and I will say, this has to be the best dish of the day!Thick and awesomely coconut milk rich, this is heavenly stuff. Served with chicken pieces, tau pok, fish cakes, and some lemongrass inside, wow!
Rating: 5/5
Next up is Assam Chicken Pot. From first look, it sure looks very identical to the Laska Pot, apart from the ingreditents. Fresh big pieces of chickensimmered in the Assam looks fabulous. The letdown of this dish is the saltiness and lack of the Assam taste!Rating: 2/5
Other side dishes that came along:
Thai Fish cake - Big piece, but lack the spiciness and a little hard Rating 2.5/5
Fried mini buns - A winner to compliment the Laksa Chicken Pot.Rating: 5/5
Marinated Beed and Korean Spice Pork Belly - Very well marinated, and goes very well with the Mookata.Rating 5/5
Check out our setup for the dinner!
Overall, I will say there is much for improvement on the dishes. More spiciness, as well as lesser salt on all the dishes. Keep the winning formula of Laksa Chicken Pot, and focus on improving on the taste for tom yum soup for Mookata, more spinicess on Spicy chicken Pot, and in my opinion, scrap the Assam Chicken Pot. Improve on the texture for Thai fish cake, and keep the winner side dish of fried mini buns.For more food reviews and pictures of this food review, please visit my blog at https://pumpuileo.wordpress.com/
