“Mookata” literally means “pork skillet” in Thai and refers to the special cooking apparatus create to enjoy both BBQ and hot pot at the same time.
Originated from Chiang Mai, a trough of soup sits on a crock of charcoal and a dome shaped grill is placed on the trough. This allows the smoke from the charcoal to waft up to the grill, perfuming the meat with fragrance.
Isn't it amazing that Asian steamboat has different variations to it and one of them is Thailand's Mookata. I find it different to the usual steamboat dinners we have at home (although at times we may also have the grilling part at the top), but what makes this different is the fact that this uses charcoal and significantly increases the aroma of the meat when being grilled, and also enhances the taste.
As the meat is grilling, the fats get melted and some of ut flows into the soup, making the broth smell nice, and taste delicious at the same time. yumyum.
Definitely worth a try. /thumbs up/
