Located in a coffee shop in the matured estate of Ang Mo Kio is Chok Chai Mookata. Just opened 3 months ago by Len and Jon, these young and energetic duo have tasted the goodness of authentic Thai Mookata in Thailand. They then decided to bring back this delicious family sharing style of food to Singapore. They spent time learning the authentic marinating methods and tweaked their recipe to suit Singaporean taste buds.Their menu seemed very reasonable for a HDB coffeeshop. $28 for 2-3 pax and $4

Looking at the amount of ingredients for the price, I must say, this is probably the most bang for the buck mookata I've seen. There's a huge variation of ingredients at about $10 per pax. There is no beef in the set but you can order beef slices from the ala carte menu.
Owner Len explained that here at Chok Chai, they strongly believe in providing you with the authentic Thai experience, so much so that they import chilli from Thailand. They have invested in their own grinding techniques to make their own in-house chilli. He shared that the chilli had coriander, garlic and a mix of "secret" ingredients to give it the wow factor.There's both red and green chilli options.The bacon strips had a good ratio of fats to meat and it was extremely juicy and oily after grilling for some time.

The lean meat was very well marinated with a somewhat sweeter marinate in comparison to the other meats. It was very tasty and slightly chewy with every bite. It was definitely one of my favourite choice of meats during the meal.The liver cooked very quickly in the hot boiling soup surrounding the grill iron. It was very tasty and definitely pretty fresh.
The black pepper chicken wasn't too spicy but you could definitely taste the sharp peppery taste. But it didn't have me reaching for my non-existent Thai Milk Tea repeatedly, so I was okay with the pepper levels. It was tasty and flavourful. The chicken didn't have much fats on it either. It was rather lean.

After we cooked the noodles, we had to repeatedly top up the soup. The Thai speaking staff were also very attentive and noticed the soup levels going down each time we cooked the noodles and volunteered to top up the soup for us, despite having a kettle of soup placed next to the mookata.
There's also a separate dish of vegetables. I'm no rabbit so vegetables aren't for me, but I did love their generous serving of enoki mushrooms.

Overall : Hidden gem in Ang Mo Kio, very reasonable prices for mookata with quality ingredients accompanied with great service.
Now, if only they served thai iced milk tea! I would have a complete thai dinner!
