Tem Xim Charcoal Mookata — George Town, Penang

About

Charcoal-fired mookata restaurant at Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street) in George Town. Tem Xim Charcoal Mookata (金心泰式炭烤) uses traditional charcoal to heat both the central grilling dome and the surrounding moat of savoury soup — the classic mookata setup where diners grill marinated meats on the dome while simultaneously boiling vegetables and seafood in the soup moat. Charcoal produces a distinctly smoky depth that electric mookata cannot replicate. The meal ends with complimentary local ice cream. Praised for its well-seasoned, clear soup base and high-quality marinated meat selections. Contact: +60 16-463 2317. Open daily 6pm–11:30pm. Non-halal. Reviews mention hotpot, chicken wings, chili sauce and pork slices.
