#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.

#DINEWITHME: BANH MI CAFE, PUCHONG

Hola #Saturday ! It's another blog on cafe review.  Let's go #Vietnamese this week. Hidden behind Columbia Asia Hospital in Bandar Puteri Puchong, this humble cafe serves cheap and delicious Vietnamese cuisines with very authentic flavors. Neither do I know this place actually exists although I've been staying around this area for the past few years. Thanks to my dear friend, Jess who brought me here. It was indeed a good place to dine for. BANH MI offers an Indoor and Outdoor seating. If you prefer eating out while chilling with that stick of ciggie, outdoor is your best choice. When we arrived, seats are still available. However, as the day pass, more and more customers are walking in and it's already full by 2.00 pm.  Indoor - Air conditioned What makes this cafe so special? The food, of course!

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displ...
