Pom Ya Gin Mookata (Thai)


For the past weeks, I have been having a craving for Mookata. I am not exactly a Mookata fan though. I am not definite how the craving came about but perhaps my real hankering is the smell of charcoal burns and that emit a strong sense of nostalgic feeling. So, I decided to go for one near my condo apartment. Mookata is defnitely a more affordable option for many Thais in comparison to the many restaurant based buffet shabu and BBQ. An average buffet shabu or BBQ will cost between 400 baht to 800 baht. There are higher end options as well that may go up to a thousand or more. This one that I had last night is priced at 399 baht inclusive of seafood items.


Of course, with a more affordable pricing also means that the quality of the the ingredients will often be compromised. Although this may be the case, most local Thais wouldn't mind. Most will go for the low-price-lower-quality option and compensate it with friends gathering around the charcoal pot, and BBQ-ing their week's of stress and tension away. Therefore, Mookata is not merely a unique Thai food culture anyway. It has also become a Thai way of life. It is certainly one way to immerse yourself into what it means to be residing in the Kingdom.


I enjoyed myself very much last night and got my appetite for Mookata met finally. It was a simple, low-cost and satisfying meal. I didn't have a large group of friends gathering around the burning charcoal, but I certaintly was soaking myself in the local atmosphere of chilling out after work. I was thankful for the day and count all my blessings in all these.
