He's back from Cordon Bleu in Paris and was craving for some Thai Mookata which couldn't just wait till his Bangkok trip the next day.So us being the ever accomodating girl pals, we went along with him to Tom Yum Kungfu. A reservation at 8pm got us seats in 15 minutes while a group of two girls waited for just slightly longer before they got a seat. Apparently from 6-8pm, people wait for up to an hour for seats without reservations. Not that I wanted to ever try. Food made simple. You choose fro

Food made simple. You choose from set meals if you're having Mookata. Otherwise, there's a whole host of Thai dishes to choose from their ala carte menu.
So this was it. Our best deal set for 3-4pax for $49. No Mama noodles, more veggies please. And we added on a side of pork and pork belly. This was some oink loving going on.
And by recommendation, we got their signature fish paste on bamboo too. But this was a downer. Lacking in taste and bite, this was too expensive to take up stomach space. I'd rather much have my pigs thank you very much.
The art of mookata, soup the soupy ingredients and grill those meats well, crisp the edges and leave the middle tender with the help of their generous lard cubes of course. Ingenious. And takes some skill. Or actually, discipline. I'm happy just cooking my meats. Who cares about the browned edges or grill marks... until he fed me one done just right. Mmm.
And if you love chilli, their sauce packs a right punch! It left me wanting.
For all that and two rounds of drinks each, it totalled to $99 for us three. Which was a satisfyingly filling dinner for a decent price.
