All you can eat Thai bbq/hotpot BLEW MY MIND

[@ThaiTalkwithPaddy]

Always a bloody fun time filming with ya Amy! Next time we do it, we’ll be overseas somewhere I’m sure! 谢谢 ขอบคุณครับ ✌️

Hi Paddy!

[@saintxie6730]

I'm Thai and am currently studying in Sydney, I'm also very interested in Chinese food and culture as my family has a very strong Chinese heritage. Love your content, Keep up the good work. If you want some more Thai food to review in Sydney, there's this place called Show Nuea Thai Street Food on George Street that serves northern Thai food. They have Thai clay hot pot there called Chim Chum where the soup is usually derived from herb, including many Thai dishes that people in Australia would likely have never heard of.

We spell it mookata in Singapore, and we have a shopping centre filled with all the southeast Asian restaurants, including tons of mookata restaurants. My Thai colleague brought our team there once, and according to him, that area is where you will find authentic mookata in Singapore (along with other southeast Asian food like Indonesian or Philippino food) I still prefer hotpot/steamboat, but mookata is a close second when it comes to "self-cooking" buffet. Also, the whole point of the bbq in the centre is to allow the juices and oil from cooking the food to flow into the soup, so the soup still gets the flavour like hotpot, but with a slight smoky flavour from the bbq.

[@jeanmilljean]

Actually, Moo kra ta is the right thing. Because in Thai 'kra'​ is a diphthong. กระ = kra / ก = k / ร = r / ะ = a

[@zoetan7600]

In Singapore, the Thai restaurants call it “Mookata”. Love it so much.

[@whoismeru]

Yup, it's pretty much the same thing - the actual pronunciation is moo-gra-ta. How much does it cost in Singapore? Is it a buffet all-you-can-eat type of thing or ala carte? (I'm curious, haven't had it in Singapore. Singaporean living in Northern Thailand.)

[@SwordSaint83]

@@whoismeru It's both. Buffet should be below $30SGD.. Ala carte should be $5 to $10 per dish.

[@whoismeru]

@@SwordSaint83 Oh cool. Thanks for that! Haha I probably wouldn’t eat it in Singapore then, will have my fill of it while I’m here. It’s really fascinating how affordable it is over here in Thailand and a mookrata buffet can go as low as $8 SGD with no time limit! Super great value for money!

[@heesingsia4634]

I actually stumbled upon a mookata place hidden behind a market in Thailand with a couple of mates 5 years ago. It was the first time I had it and was amazed by the price we had to pay (190bht back then). It was all you can eat 6pm-10pm. Needless to say I went back there many times after that. Even brought some Thai friends there and they told me the price and quality (freshness) of the food was top notch. Last time I ate there was Dec 2019 and the place was jammed packed with locals and I had to pay 290bht for the same course. I actually regretted bringing my Thai friends there initially lol.

[@yinhoukhor7109]

Nice content again. It brought a smirk to my face when I learnt that, not only is there a Western version of Chinese food but there's also a Western version of Thai food. On a separate note, you're getting very close to another important milestone (200K) coming up which could come in time for your birthday this Sunday. I remember because of that great collaboration you had with a fellow great vlogger (Miriam) around a similar time last year because you both share the same birthday. Once you reach this milestone, may we add another zero to this figure somewhere down the track!! Can't wait to see the second series with yourself and your parents on the mainland! I just know it's gonna be great!!

[@PaddyMan1988]

As I mentioned before, most foreigners, whom have stayed in China for long time, will become food bloggers. 😋😋😋

[@Ipsvsong]

In Malaysia, mookata can choose Tom yam soup flavor for hotpot part

[@molaehin5545]

We do moo kata at home in Melbourne and my wife likes to mix in some tom yum paste into the broth. I like to use a light chicken broth infused with lemongrass. First time I tried moo kata in Thailand some years back it was an old school outdoor place using charcoal. These days you can go to moo kata franchises in shopping centres which give you set menus and a more sanitised experience which is better for the family but I prefer the rustic old style charcoal moo kata restaurants that are open air. There is a moo kata restaurant on Bourke Street in Melbourne, haven't tried it yet but I will soon 🤤

[@leonardxu6978]

Wow, this instrument is creative. Had been many BBQ + hot pot places (mostly Korean restaurant), where they generally have two instruments for separate purposes and it's hard to have both simultaneously. Dating back to 2010, this might go viral in foreign cities, when BBQ/hot pot were extremely popular (a lot more popular than nowadays).

[@SwordSaint83]

In Singapore and Malaysia, it is known as mookata.

[@leeboonkang2]

In Singapore, we spell this as Mookata. It has been a craze since about 3-5 years ago and now it has become one of the main meal for groups of people much like how KBBQ, JBBQ and hotpot has been. Since our country is multi-racial/multi-cultural, we are really accepting on new culture and things, especially when it comes to food.

Even in China, Hotpot can be roughly divided into two types: Flavour in the hotpot (like sichuan mala) or flavour in the dip sauce( Peking style北京铜锅, chaoshan style 潮汕牛肉锅 ).

หมูกระทะ MOOKATA!!! as its known in Singapore and Malaysia! You are absolutely spot on the chillis.

[@Infin8cosmo]

As an American I thought it was that he was so excited about the soda fountain. They are literally everywhere in the US. I guess cafeteria style dining is not a thing in other places. Until this I didn’t know free refills wasn’t a thing in other places. He should see the modern Coke Machines, the options are endless.

[@nepaliyuva408]

It’s not about cafeteria style dining....in many other countries free refill, unlimited napkins, free sauces are like finding needle in a haystack. Only in US they give you 10 ketchup with mikeyD’s. In Amsterdam I had to pay extra for extra ketchup and their large drink is like small here in the US. Less waste.

Hot Pot/BBQ ingenious. I need to find this in Dallas.

[@SL-lz9jr]

I definitely need to go to Thailand again and experience more of their cuisine. When I was there I kept trying to order different dishes to try but half of what I ordered ended up being Chinese-influenced dishes, which, I get is historically accurate as China did have a huge presence in Asia so the cuisine naturally influenced many Asian countries. But, still, I feel gyped (?) because I'm Chinese so I didn't want to eat Chinese-influenced cuisine in Thailand. LOL.

i think i once had something like this in california before. the pot was almost the same, but we needed to keep adding some sukiyaki sauce to "bbq" the meat. then the sauce went into the "hot pot" section to cook the veggies. i thought it's a japanese thing because of the sukiyaki sauce and the super good waygu beef. but i still don't know what it's called since it's clearly not shabu shabu or sukiyaki...

I have to say I am not too crazy about this. I've been to Thailand, I don't think they do this very commonly. This sounds like a fusion of Thai, Chinese or even Korean. The grill pan looks awfully like in a Korean BBQ. I've seen that in Chinese restaurants, they have grill service on the side and a pot of soup for doing hotpot in the center.
