888 Mookata (Tampines)

Tasty seasoning. Price is abit expensive for each meat, so it will be more worth it if you order Seasoned meat instead of cheese tofu or vegetables. Had a great time eating!

Strange as this may sound but this was the first time I have tried Mookata (be it in Thailand or Singapore). You may wonder though why it has taken me so long to try something that combines two of my favourite things --- Korean bbq and Chinese steamboat.

The premise of mookata is very simple. The unique shape of the hot plate allows sliced meat to be grilled on the "dome" in the middle and vegetables and other ingredients to be cooked in the surrounding "trough" which is filled with soup. The juices of the bbq meat are allowed to flow into the trough to enhance the flavours of the soup.

To be honest, I find mookata a little expensive since a platter for 4 costs $30 to $40 before add-ons. The quality is also hit and miss. But it saves you the time and effort from prep work, cleaning up (eg scrubbing the grill) and having a living room reeking of oil for the next few days. Once in a while, okay lah!

I love how shops come out with very huat names for their store - it makes me want to visit them more often 😂
Second visit to 888 this month - platters for 2 ($26) and 4($45) are priced very affordably. Both trips, we added ala cart dishes because we want more variety 🤫 I especially like their garlic marinated meats 🤤 They have branches around Singapore, it's definitely worth a visit when you on a budget and want to eat M O O K A T A!
