Welcome to Jurong West. Looking for Mookata places?

Value for price and the food is good! Would come back again 😄

$51 for 5 pax. I love this mookata because it’s good for a rainy day and there’s no fixed base price. The price is by the ingredients that you’ve chosen.

You can choose clear soup or tomyum soup base, which both are good!

got the set for 2 with a selection of seafood - scallops, prawns, sotong & crabmeat as well as a few types of normal meat (pork, chicken) + veggies. got extra cheese tofu, thai maggi noodles, king oyster mushroom and beef! This was actually too much for 3 (girls) and unfortunately we couldn’t finish everything... but it was really comforting on a cold day :~) would definitely recommend if eating with family/a group of friends.

you will smell like bbq afterwards for sure though!!!

The Double Flavoured Crispy Fried Fish has one side covered in sweet and sour sauce, while the other side was topped with Thai mango sauce.

The Mango Sticky Rice ($5.80) had GREAT MANGOES: Ever so slightly sour, it was perfect with the sticky rice & slightly sweet coconut cream. However, I wish the sticky rice weren't so... Coagulated? If that makes any sense. I know it's meant to be sticky (duh), but I would've preferred the individual rice grains to be a bit more separated than ketupat-style.

One thing to note: Service was very slow on a Saturday night - so if you're rushing for time, I'd advise against coming here during popular/peak hours. After we were done with our meal, we ordered 1 Mango Sticky Rice to wait the crazy thunderstorm out... & it took, like, 20 mins to arrive. Not sure if we were forgotten about, or they were just too busy trying to handle the massive order from the huge family sitting next to us. Our dinner lasted 90 mins in total.

The Green Curry Chicken ($10) was, by far, the one dish that we were most satisfied with that night. A good balance of creamy & spicy, we were happy to both drink the curry on its own & drizzle it over rice.

Expectedly, the Basil Minced Pork ($12) & Sambal Long Beans ($9) both need to be paired with white rice, because they are doused in a flavourful sauce that almost borders on oily. I don't eat minced meat much, but this is an exception & it didn't disappoint. The long beans have a great crunch to them & were very addictive. Also, these being the size of small portions surprised me - they took forever to finish! Am glad we didn't order the larger variant.

While Maggie Thai isn't worth travelling all the way to Jurong West for, I'd return here again for the good variety & dishes that have that home-cooked feel. Sure beats that other Thai food place nearby that was laden with MSG & is barely edible.

For some reason, the Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($11) was more sour than spicy - nothing hot hit the back of my throat at all. I would've honestly liked this to be at least a little spicy. But since it wasn't, I was slurping this like a mad woman without having to stick my tongue out & take a break. Oh, & there's plenty of seafood in here, woohoo.

If you're looking for the super spicy, cry-your-eyes-out kind of Thai food, this isn't the place for you. For me, it's so lovely to find delicious Thai food in a coffee shop in a location that's convenient for me.

The Pad Thai ($4.80) was quite ordinary - I liked that it wasn't too sweet. However, I think I'll have to try this again, because it cooled down really quickly in the rainy weather, so when I had my first bite, it wasn't piping hot. There's something about it that makes me want to try it again, though. Perhaps the springyness of the noodles? The nicely cooked seafood?

"Working with my sister here, the feeling is indescribable... that sense of satisfaction seeing the smiles of our customers" - Veronica @v.veron.v

I've huge respect for these two ladies I met when I dropped by for dinner at this coffeeshop at Jurong. Veronica was an air stewardess, and @valarietjy graduated with a diploma in Clean Energy before they decided to help their mum run their Thai food stall.
🔸
And what does this entail? Valarie said it's years working all day all night, even on Christmas and special days, because it's those days when fnb can earn a little more than usual. But over these years they've made friends with their customers, and there are some who will get them presents and birthday cakes.
🔸
Their passion for life is contagious. Just watch their ig stories and see how they've made working long hours in a kitchen till 1am looked fun. They told me what's important to them was serving and knowing their customers, but I thought what's more priceless, from what I've been seeing, is their bond with each other 💕

Would you like to have good, crispy, deep fried pork knuckles or trotters at a coffeeshop at a fraction of the price? I had this at Jurong, but it's also available at their Bugis outlet, and it's their signature home dish known as Crispy Pata.
🔸
It's deep fried till it has a crackling outer skin, yet it's not greasy nor oily, and retains a tender interior. To balance the meatiness of this dish, it's served with a homemade sauce comprising of fresh lime juice, garlic cloves, lemongrass, kaffir lime and lemon leaves. I was familiar with this as a German dish, but now I understand that this is also traditionally Asian.

Really enjoyed my dinner here, thanks @cassteo for introducing this place to us, and @v.veron.v and @valarietjy for the treat :)
