Here’s our Cheese Story Mookata Buffet review after trying their new menu for ala carte claypot. This newly added ala carte claypot menu has 4 options to satisfy different diet preference such as seafood or meat lovers. The usage of claypot heightens the experience, ensuring every sip is kept piping hot.
Our editor choice is the Kampong Chicken Claypot. The longer the chicken simmers in the soup, the more flavourful the chicken broth becomes. The chicken soup takes on a golden hue as the skin melts into the broth creating a collagen consistency which we like. We also had an add-on side of scallop ($8.80) to heighten the flavours of the chicken broth making it more delicious.
The chicken claypot meat also become surprisingly softer and more tender, the longer it is boiled in the broth. The chicken rib cage bones are also boiled till super soft at the end of our meal almost disintegrated into the broth like soft bones.
This is how the savoury Kampong Chicken Claypot is cooked. Sliced gingers are added to a hot oiled claypot on charcoal. The tableside chef stirs the ginger quickly to release the aroma before adding in the Shao Xing Hua Diao Jiu (a sweet Chinese cooking wine). The adding of the wine flambé the ginger inside the claypot. Wolfberries, garlic, ginger and the chicken parts are quickly added in to catch the vaporising aroma of wine and ginger.
For this chicken claypot, they have chosen to use the pricier Kampong chicken which is less oily, with better chicken flavours, firmer and more springy meat texture after cooking. We are told that these chickens are fresh, not frozen ones and delivered daily to make the best chicken claypot they can. They use half a Kampong chicken for each Kampong Chicken Claypot, we feel that it is good for sharing for 2 pax with this portion.
Lastly the soup broth is added into the lightly browned chicken and covered with a lid to seal in all the flavours. We were told the soup broth is boiled overnight with pork bones to give it that comforting flavours. You may request to top up the claypot with these creamy white broth if it runs too low for you to cook your add-on special side dishes or if you simply enjoy the broth and would like to sip more of these goodness.
Signature Wine Broth Lala Claypot ($19.90) is a concoction of sweet plump white Venus clams in a strong creamy broth made with pork bones, flavoured with sweet Shao Xing Hua Diao Chinese cooking wine, sautéed julienned fresh ginger and aromatic fried garlic pops . This is also Cheese Story Mookata Buffet’s Signature Lala Claypot with the chef recommendation.
The lala portion in a single claypot is generous enough to fix your craving for shellfish. If you are feeling the mood for more shellfishes, feel free to add on 500 grams of lala for $8.80. We are also told that live lala are used for these lala claypots. Once the claypot starts bubbling, the lala are ready to be enjoyed.
Signature Wine Broth with Prawns ($29.90) are an umami claypot of prawns cooked in a creamy white pork broth, julienned ginger, fried garlic chips and the MVP of the claypot dish – lot of Shao Xing Hua Diao Chinese cooking wine to bring out the natural sweetness of these plump prawns.
The prawns claypot are good for sharing for 2-3 pax. We were told that they use only fresh tiger prawns sourced from fishery port daily as they are prized for the sweeter, firmer meats and the bitter sweet buttery head roe. The flavour of this prawn claypot dish has resemblance to those wedding banquet drunken prawns but this version is mellower and more comforting with the piping hot broth.
Cheese Story Mookata Buffet also has a whole fish claypot made with a deep fried golden crisp seabass simmering in their signature wine broth. Enjoy some sweet delicate meat with a springy fish skin packed full of collagen and occasional pops of garlicky goodness.
