Thai In Mookata | The Famous Thai Select Awardee BBQ

If you were a mookata lover like us, you definitely heard many people having good rave about this place. They even receive the Thai Select awards which makes you even more wonder, how good this place could be among other mookata places? So, we checked the place out to ensure that your visit is going to be worth it! They have many branches in Klang Valley, you can visit their website  to find one nearest to your place. We visited the one in OKR on Friday Night. First impression, we super in love the vibe. The place is tucked in somewhat inside the warehouse complex kinda feeling. Not sure if it were really a warehouse, but at a glance you can see some showrooms and even more other restaurants in the inner area of the place. The mookata place itself is adorned by beautiful outdoor fairy lights with a giant spacious place whereby you see everyone just chit-chatting non-stop with their family and friends. Despite all the smokes from the bbq, the place is cozy to just chill and take som...

Khao Man Gai | Hidden Gem Thai Food in Ara Damansara, PJ


We had been seeing a lot of people are raving about this place either on TikTok or Instagram. So, of course we just need to drop by and see if their food is really that good. 

This place is famously serving Bangkok Street Food such as Chicken Rice. I mean, yes we had a lot of great chicken rice places in Malaysia but why Bangkok, right? Restaurants such as Go Ang Pratunam Chicken rice was also serving the renowned Chicken Rice dish there, but we had not had the chance to try when we travelled there. Let's try our luck here, shall we?

We went here during weekday on Monday for lunch, it was just a random day but the place is fully packed for lunch, people are enthusiastically queueing for their chicken rice. Wow, this place is definitely super famous now despite being tucked in hidden in Ara Damansara.

Aside from the queue, actually it was quite fast and once we ordered, found our seat, the food also came out rather quickly to appease our hunger. By the way, this place is no pork, no lard.

First of all, we ordered their famous fried chicken rice. The first thing that we noticed is even though the batter looked ordinary but the spices they use is definitely a bit different than we normally cook at home or eat normally. It is definitely giving a sufficient crispy crunch when you bite into it, greeted by a savory umami batter of the chicken. Definitely, this is what you call in love at first bite! You can see our cover picture for reference.

Additionally, the rice is super flavorful, similar to the regular hainanese chicken rice but with more fried garlic. It seems they are using the same kind of rice for mango sticky rice for this one because the rice is super sticky.

On the other hand, we also ordered their lava egg minced chicken basil. We love the super creamy texture of the egg which is super gooey and melt in your mouth kinda feeling. The kra pow is definitely the comforting familiar type of kra pow. Just what you expect but the egg definitely take this dish to another level which is why everyone just cannot resist to order this menu.

Their mango sticky rice is also not to miss. Fresh mango drizzled by the regular coconut milk with the yummy sticky rice on the side, good complementary to end your savory dish. As for the drinks, the Thai Tea is also must order.

Great job, overall delicious Thai Food. Definitely will come back!
