New Mooki Noodles Menu And Stunning Art Work By Tokyo Go-Go

Mooki commissioned Greg aka Tokyo Go-Go to create a new Menu for the Restaurant, the overall look needed to be clean, colorful, and fun.  An array of characters were scattered throughout the menu, each relating in some way to a meal, side or option our the surroundings available at Mooki.  The new venue with all its yummy treats can be seen here.

Greg Darroll is an Illustrator & Graphic Designer based in Durban, South Africa. He generally works with vector graphics, and clean, colourful, crazy illustrations that get people thinking, laughing or just immersed in detail.  He is  continually fascinated by anything and everything creative however characters, designer toys, 2D animation and T-shirt illustrations are just a few things that inspire him to create even more!   The name “Tokyo-Go-Go” is a bit of a cryptic one. Firstly it resembles his love for all things Japanese, as well as his initial urge to pursue a career as a designer. The first “Go” represents how far he has come since he  began his adventure. Drawing, thinking, creating, everyday. Developing immensely in the process. The second “Go” is all about what’s in store for him in the future. Which the Mooki Team see’s as very bright!

Exciting Mooki News And Competition!

KONICHIWA,

There are some exciting things on the horizon for Mooki in the near future!

We are currently readying ourselves to become vendors at the Night Market and also at I Heart Market. We will hopefully be at the next Night Market which is on the 1st of March, and we are aiming to be at the April I Heart Market. We will be offering some of our Noodle dishes, Fried Rice dishes, Prawn Spring Rolls, Cumin Chicken Wraps, some other yummy stuff and hopefully (for the first time) we will be bottling our sauces so you can make your own yummy noodles at home. Awesomeness.

As some of you may know, we are trying to get a delivery service off the ground soon. This will initially be limited to a 2 block radius from Mooki and will be available until about 6 pm daily. We will not be charging for this service, but we will unfortunately have to limit the service to orders of R 100 and over. Unfortunately we simply cannot deliver one portion of Spring Rolls or one Mushroom and Paneer Salad. It simply would not be viable. Sorry. We will let you know when we are ready to launch this as we are still trying to figure out the logistics etc.

Eat Out magazine is currently running a competition @ the link below, so if you are keen to win a three course meal for two at Mooki, enter immediately. Send this link to all your Chinas so they can also have a chance to win too. Sharing is caring, people.

Awesome Mooki Specials

DIM SUM (AND THEN SOME)

COIN POUCHES (three in a portion)

Pork Fillet marinated in a totally awesome mixture of Honey, Rice Wine Vinegar, Oyster Sauce, Garlic, Ginger, Coriander and Spring Onion; ground into  Mince in an old-school hand grinder, twisted into Spring Roll-wrapper pouches and deep fried. We’re serving this with a Fresh Herb side salad and Sweet Chilli dippy sauce. R 35.00

TEMPURA PRAWNS (four of these bad boys)

Four Prawns Fried in a Crispy Japanese Beer Batter till Golden Brown and served on Chinese Prawn Crackers with Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce and Home Made Wasabi Mayonnaise. This is just plain yummy even if it does have an identity crisis.    R 40.00

CUMIN CHICKEN PARCELS (Spicy and Fragrant, 2 in a portion)

So this is a take on Spring Rolls, but with an Indian influence. The filling consists of Chicken, Onion, Leeks, Cumin, Jeera and our own special spice blend. Here’s the kicker, though…..instead of using Spring Roll pastry, we used black magic to coerce Popadoms to do the same job.  These are deep fried and served with a herb side salad and a Sweet Chilli Yoghurt dipping sauce.  R 20.00

PRAWN SPRING ROLLS 

We all knew this was inevitable.  Cripsy Pastry plus Prawns = YUMMY, and we are all about Yummy here( I checked this equation with a Maths Professor).   These come with a Sweet Chilli Dippy Sauce. R 25.00                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

CHICKEN AND  PRAWN SALAD

A classic combination with the usual Mooki twist. The Salad part is our usual Lettuce and Herb mix with Roasted  Seeds  and other tasty stuff. The Chicken is dipped in a Spicy Peanut and Spring Onion Batter and Pan Fried till Golden. The Prawns are Grilled with a little Salt and Pepper and the whole Shebang is served with a Chilli Peanut Dressing.  R 45.00

NOODLES, RICE AND ALL THINGS NICE

YAKISOBA

Typical Japanese Street Food. A sauce made with Light Soy, Sake (Rice Wine), Home Made stock, Palm Sugar, Cabbage and Carrots. A mild flavoured dish that warms your belly, with just enough sweetness and absolutely no heat. Choose your protein and your noodle. R 50.00

SWEET AND SOUR

Home-Made Sweet and Sour Sauce with Onion, Carrot and Pineapple; available with Veggies, Chicken, Pork or Prawns (15 bucks more for Prawns) and either Egg Fried Rice (Brown or white) or Egg Fried Noodles (Ramen). The Protein or Veg is battered and Fried and we are characteristically generous with the sauce. R 50.00

CHILLI PEANUT & CASHEW FRIED RICE 

Don’t ask for this one mild, coz we won’t do it!! Spicy is the only way this dish comes. A rich sauce with lots of Chilli, Dark Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce (vegetarian), Cashews, Peanuts and Home Made Stock with a healthy amount of Palm Sugar to sweeten things up. Available only as a Fried Rice option and not for the limp wristed or sensitive types. Once again you can choose your Protein or have it Vegetarian. R 50.00

LINE FISH

Once again our dear Friend Garret has delivered the goods. We’ve got some Uber Fresh Couta which we are offering two ways. Either lightly dusted with Flour and Fish Spice and Pan Fried or Dipped in a Beer Batter and Deep Fried until we can’t take it any more. Both ways are served on a bed of warm Ho Fun Noodle Salad with our Home Made Wasabi Mayo. R 70.00

Please note that we do reserve the right to change prices, and specials also do depend on availability

Please note that due to the South Korean Stock Excange dropping 5 basis points today on the news of the death of the funny looking little Gnome Dictator of North Korea, we do deserve the right to change specials so we can survive in the aftermath, of the Nuclear explosions, seriously we do reserve the right to change or limit specials.
