Moo Kata translated means 'skillet pork'. But of course you have much more choices to choose from while dining. It's a hybrid of grilling and Asian hot pot cooking all in one vessel. The cost of eating in such restaurants depends on the location. Within Bangkok the cost of eating in a Moo Kata restaurants starts around 150 baht. That's not bad at all for a smorgasbord of meats (pork, beef, chicken, fish). You can also choose from a wide variety of vegetables, noodles, sushi, a few prepared foods such as egg rolls and fried rice, fruits, ice cream and Thai sweets and desserts. A Thai meal is never complete without condiments so there are a small variety of spicy, garlicky and sweet dipping sauces to round out the meal. For an additional 60 baht extra you'll get to add seafood like squid, tiger prawns, snow crab legs and clams to your dinner. If you splurge on the seafood you will get an extra cooking vessel which consists of a metal grate placed over a clay pot filled with hot charcoal. The selections are in a section of the restaurant which sort of resembles a butcher's shop. Rows of raw meats are in tubs surrounded by ice cubes. The sight might be off putting for first timers. Especially when they don't like organ meats such as liver and tripe and unknowingly select it. There are plenty of marinated beef, chicken and pork to choose from. Depending on the size of your party you get one Moo Kata vessel which resembles a funny steel hat with a trough filled with water or broth running around. The vessel sits on top of blazing hot coals contained in a sturdy clay pot. A big piece of pork fat is provided as flavoring and to lube up the top portion of the vessel so that the meats won't stick too badly during grilling. The water around the vessel is for cooking veggies and noodles. It's okay to poach meats in it too. As the meal goes on you can drink the broth which has accumulated all the flavors on the Moo Kata. Drinks such as Pepsi or Coca Cola run about 30 baht for a small bottle. Local beer can be purchased for around 130 baht for a liter. But if you're eating out on a budget, bottled water and ice cubes are still very cheap in Thailand. MoreMu kratha (Thai pronunciation: [mhu kratha]; Thai: หมูกระทะ), also spelled "Mookata", is a combination of a Korean barbecue and a Chinese hot pot.History The word Mu kratha literally means pan pork in Thai ("mu" translates to “pig” or “pork” and “kata” to “pan” or “skillet”).

It is usually used with a gas stove whereas the Thai version uses charcoal. The dining concept spread throughout Thailand and Malaysia and a lot of Restaurant introduced the Mu kratha into their business. Preparation and serving Sliced meat (most often pork) is grilled on the dome in the centre while the vegetables and other ingredients, such as fish balls, cook in the soup (also called Thai suki).

The local traditional Thai Mu kratha uses different types of nam chim, spicy Thai dipping sauces. In popular culture Since about 25 years Thailand has a lot of places offering Mu kratha steamboat as it is easy to prepare and suits with a variety of foods.

This dining trend is slowly coming to Europe with a modified electronic version of the grill called TomYang BBQ. More ....
