Thai mookata is a popular style of barbecue in Thailand that combines elements of Korean barbecue and hot pot. The name "mookata" is a combination of two Thai words: "mu" meaning pork, and "kratha" meaning pan. In essence, it involves grilling meat, seafood, and vegetables on a domed grill pan while simultaneously using the moat around the edges of the pan to cook noodles, vegetables, and other ingredients in a flavorful broth.

Ramadan Bazaar
Essentially, a Ramadan bazaar is a month-long street market specially dedicated to the fasting month, where mostly food and beverages are sold. Muslims (and non-Muslims) get to pick from a smorgasbord of halal foods on their way home from work for breaking their fast just before dusk.

Chinese dragon
Chinese dragons are intertwined with creation myths and are thought to
wield power over natural elements such as weather and bodies of water,
while also serving as guardians of the celestial realms. Conversely,
Western dragons are commonly depicted as formidable creatures capable of
breathing fire, notorious for hoarding treasure and instilling fear in
villages.

The food looks delicious and most of these dishes are new to me. I never had the chance to visit Holland during tulip season. How beautiful! ♥ The Chinese dragons look way more elegant than the western ones - and have a kindlier purpose as well. ☺
ReplyDeleteThese delicacies are so tempting. Thanks for sharing the information too.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Veronica!
Bazaar Ramadhan yang sangat meriah. Sajian kulinarinya pun menggiurkan Kak Veronica...
ReplyDeletedan seafood di atas membuatku ingin mencicipinya. Have a nice day Kak
The food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you went to the Keukenhof in the Netherlands.
The fields are currently full of tulips again, it is really beautiful to see, I live here so I am used to it, but for people outside the Netherlands this is really a sight to see.
Greetings Irma
The food does look good and what an interesting way to cook food..well for me it is.
ReplyDeleteLove the hot pot and tulips
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sharing
ReplyDeleteThe Mukata is interesting. I like the pan and cooking two things at once!
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are so pretty! I live near Holland Michigan where there is a week long tulip festival every Spring.
All of the food looks delicious. I would love to try the mookata. I did something similar in Taiwan, not quite the same, but along the same lines.
ReplyDeleteWish I could try some of the food...they surely look very tempting!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks scrumptious, Veronica. We have some Thai restaurants in our area. I'll have to look up their menus online to see if they offer anything similar.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Nice to learn about mookata
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by Mookata!! It looks like it could be tasty and fun. I also love your flowers and the food stands selling meals for Moslems to break their fast, is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and in Jakarta we went to such type of Korean barbecue.
All Asian food is delicious!
And of course our Dutch Keukenhof—the biggest flower show on the earth—is spectacular to visit. Glad you experienced that.
Big hugs,
Mariette
I swear I could smell the food sizzling in the pan! Keukenhof is lovely, we've sometimes been there for a day trip- Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWell sought displayed of market stall, and the Dragon will be mine forever, I was born in under Dragon.
ReplyDeleteAll the food looks so yummy and so colorful! Those tulips are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI learn a lot visiting here. Thank you so much for sharing your part of the world. Your photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting barbcue. It looks so delicious and so richly varied.
ReplyDeleteThat is a clever cooking method. Lots and lots of food.
ReplyDeleteI just finished dinner but now I'm really, really hungry again for some reason, yum!
ReplyDeleteLa comida se ve muy rica desde la barbacoa y la comida de ramadan. Lindos tulipanes. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteVeronica Lee, the food looked so good even in your photos without being able to enjoy in person.
ReplyDeleteThai Mookata looks delicious, and seems like a good way to enjoy a social meal with friends. There are so many wonderful ways to prepare food in differing cultures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really hungry! Lovely to see Keukenhof, it's been ages since I last went there.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, the food look very delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou always share such mouth watering food. The shellfish look almost what we call Cockles, I use to eat them alot when I was growing up, sometimes raw sometimes cooked, these days we can't do that much because most of the beaches are polluted.
ReplyDeleteYou always show the most delicious foods on your blog. Although, I don't care for clams much. I'm not much of a fish lover, only shrimp and lobster and crab. What a pretty tulip garden you visited. Interesting facts about the DRAGON!
ReplyDeleteHave a pleasant weekend, my friend.

Hi Veronica, The idea of grilling meats, seafood, and veggies while also simmering noodles and vegetables in a savory broth in the moat surrounding the grill pan is simply ingenious. It not only promises a feast for the senses but also encourages communal dining, which adds another layer of enjoyment to the experience. John

What an interesting way to cook food, and your meal was quite a bit to take in, It must have been wonderful to eat. It is interesting the difference in cultural thinking about dragons, but they do intermingle with humans sometimes without burning them to a crispy critter. I do prefer your dragons, and their way of thinking.
ReplyDeleteNice post and a lot of the food I would try but there are some I think I kind of gagged looking at, lol..especially the grey colored fish....but Ii always enjoy your posts and photos and comments through the post.
