#DINEWITHME: SOI 19 | LIFESTYLE MOO-KATA, KUCHAI LAMA (KL)

If having a plate of Nasi Lemak with fried chicken at 2am in the morning is normal, what about a huge pot of sizzling Moo-kata? It sounds crazy, but, this is how I ended my 2016's New Year with big supper at SOI 19 LIFESTYLE MOO-KATA.

 I stumbled upon this cozy little restaurant when my friends brought me over to try out the Thai version of BBQ and Steamboat or known as Moo-Kata. SOI 19 is strategically located and can be easily found if you're heading from Old Klang Road or Kuchai Lama.

The one page menu is rather simple; which offers all-time-favorite Thai dishes from starters, finger food, rice, noodles or stir fry. But the highlights in SOI 19 are definitely the Moo-Kata and Jim Jom. 




What does Moo-Kata (หมูกระทะ) stands for? "Moo" means pork in Thai and  "Kata" means skillet or pan. So literally it meant pork skillet. Sliced meat (most often pork) is grilled on the dome in the center while vegetables and other ingredients cook in the soup. The hot pot sits on a trough burning charcoal, which grills or steams the ingredients. It allows two ways to enjoy; BBQ and hotpot. 

We tried the Moo-kata Pork Set which came with sliced pork, sirloin, liver and mix vegetables. The Mook-Kata Pork Set is priced at RM 39 for 300gm. Instead of having the waiter to grill for us, I did the grilling myself. I started off by greasing the skillet with pork lard and then slowly arranged the meat slices on top for cooking; while my friends busy stuffing the vegetables into the pork bone soup.

RECOMMENDED: 
Moo Kata Pork Set (RM 39 / 300gm)
Slice pork, sirloin and liver with mix vegetables

-This is the portion from 2 sets-

The Goong Cher Nam Pla or Fresh raw prawn salad with Thai sauce was also decent. It might seemed like a fear factor mission to have the prawns raw, but I got to say, this is one good starter you can't miss out. Some might find it tad fiery but the dipping is a winner. Whooppsss...Tissue papers, please!


RECOMMENDED: 
Goong Cher Nam Pla (RM 16.90) 
Fresh raw prawn salad with Thai sauce

Kor Moo Yang (RM 15.90)
BBQ Pork Neck



Jim Jom - Seafood Set (RM 56)
Prawn, Squid, Mussel and Lala with mix vegetables

Thai snow beer

The overall dining experience was awesome, just the same feeling when you dine in Thailand. The environment is great and same goes to the food! Definitely worth a try.
