AROY CHANG MOO KATA Thai Restaurant

A few of Thai Restaurant I've been visit before in Pulau Tikus, "Sukhothai", "Wang Thai" & "Ananthai". This time is "Aroy Chang Moo Kata" Thai Restaurant. 1 of the 1st Thai Charcoal Grill and Steamboat in Penang. It is not only serve steamboat but also variety of delicious Thai dishes. The restaurant is allocated opposite the Sleeping Buddha temple "Wat Chaiyamangalaran". Good for tourist & also nearby Thai food lovers.

With an opening, lemongrass juice served. If you search from google, you will get known that a lot of benefit can be found. It is rich in anti-oxidant, for one. Drink more can make you more healthy. It can be a refreshing drink too.

Somtam is spicy papaya salad. The name refers to the ingredients being pounded to release and

blend the flavors of chili, garlic, palm sugar, yard long beans, roasted groundnut, tomatoes, fish

sauce, lime and unripe papaya to create a colorful dish.Somtam is a local traditional cuisine, its

unique taste and simplicity of preparation. Somtam is one of the most successful fusion dishes, as it is so versatile and adaptable. It is very spicy, but to me I still can survive on this.

Pla Phad Phed combine with a deep fried Whole Sea Bass with spice sauce. The sauce is “lemak” enough. It is just good for a rice lover to mix the sauce with.

The clear & spicy soup surrounding with fresh prawns, squid & fish, together with

boiled lemongrass, chilies, and galangal make tom yum nam sai a flavorful dish. A combination of sour, salty, spicy, and little bit of sweet are concocted together into an aromatic broth loaded with all kinds of goodies.

Cha Om Omelette is a type of Thai-fried egg omelette with 'cha om' vegetable. The vegetable is quite unpleasant when uncooked; it has a sulfurous smell similar to the smell of pond weed. Once

cooked, though, the bad smell disappears leaving a much milder flavor. The Cha Om Omelette serve with Thai chili sauce, taste nice, I like it very much.

Deep fried golden prawn with Basil leave top of sweet taste sauce, the texture of the prawn fresh

enough, you won’t put a stop here when you hit the 1^st bite. The most important is the use of the

basil leaves that provide the fragrant and flavorful taste to this dish. Awesome.

Larbmoo taste extremely spicy, but the lime juice and mint leaves make for an exotic and splendid combination. It will spice up your tongue; better go with a bowl of rice. Excellent for spice lover.

The battle of the chopsticks begin…..pick your meat, whether its chicken, pork, seafood, fish ball or etc, you can cook it all on these sizzling hot pots a great way to enjoy an interactive meal with a group of friends.

In Aroy Chang Moo Kata Thai Restaurant, Moo Kata is the most famous that everybody will looking for.With the beginning of the setup, you need to get at least 2 piece of  pork lard and place on top of the pot to make the surface of the pot oily and easier for the grilling part. There are 2 soup bases available, tom yam and clear soup. During the day, most of the floggers choosing clear soup. The delicious clear soups make most of us non-stop at all & keep taste only the soup, it also use to wash the meats as well to improve the texture. I have captured a few shots to show step by step to place the meats in sequence, it looks great.

For 2-3 pax steamboat set which only charge Rm30. It includes ingredients like pork slices, chicken slices, fish balls, squid, prawns, glass noodles, and some greens.

Ending with thap thim krawp as our desert. For me, if without the rose syrup, the surface might look better.

Overall, Moo Kata set is the best. Will be back to the shop again. To whom may looking for traditional style of charcoal BBQ Steamboat,  recommend to have a try.
