Finding the Roots of the Ultimate Fusion Food

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- If you come to Thailand and want traditional cuisine, there's no shortage of options. But if you want to eat like the locals- you go for Moo Kratha. It's the dish of the new generation, with restaurants all across the country jam-packed every night with young people. The dish itself is basically a combination of Chinese Hot Pot and Korean Barbecue- slapped together onto the same grill pan. But the thing about those connections is they seem obvious, but nobody really knows for sure- or beyond that, how it even happened. So today we're on the trail of Moo Kratha, testing out the theories and chasing its origins and- somehow- actually finding answers.

Here are this week's locations:
1- The Moo Kratha place where we filmed most of the structure: maps.app.goo.gl/vJpTCHrui7ERqEgu6
2- Chinese Hot Pot: maps.app.goo.gl/CcJGYTnUJTa4ZSqf9
3- Korean Barbecue: maps.app.goo.gl/cCqWEdF3VhACf7W6A
4- Old School Moo Kratha: maps.app.goo.gl/sSjVwqXNSDM3cUz16
One key thing that you missed is that bulgogi of the 1970s had a different layout...
cdn.imgchest.com/files/my2pcoml897.png
This is currently called "Seoul-style Bulgogi," but this was the mainstream style before the current direct grilling method.
So, looks like we have the winner here. great investigative work!
Thank you so much, the content in this video is all correct

Please do history of Bread
In Thailand, There is a phrase used when you encounter something that makes you feel bad "Moo Krata will heal everything" Because most of the time when we go to eat Moo Krata we usually go to eat with friends or family and have so much fun that it makes you forget the bad things you've experienced.
Very true Moo kra ta is the healer for Thai people 😂😊
Can you please write this in Thai. Would be really appreciated
@@liamburns8554 หมูกระทะจะเยียวยาทุกสิ่ง there you go
@@liamburns8554 The phrase is "หมูกระทะ จะเยียวยาทุกสิ่ง" it means Moo Krata will heal everything.
I usually start fights while eating Mookata
How has this guy only been posting for a year and a half. Those videos have the production quality of a massive media company
indeed this channel is a banger since day one. The thailand department of tourism should hire them already
When you have a passion for what you do and want to build a following, quality is key. 😊
Go check out Chinese Cooking Demystified, it's he and his wife's other channel.
I'm Thai, 38 years old. The first Moo Krata restaurant I ever heard of more than 30 years ago when I was a kid was called Genghis Khan Grill.
Then 10 years later it was changed to Korean Grill. Until recently, it has been changed to Moo Krata.
"หมูกระทะจะเยียวยาทุกสิ่ง"
Moo-Krata ja yiew ya tuk-sing
"Moo krata will fix everything"
- A popular Thai proverb
When my ex-boss popped over from New York last December, I decided to take her to a Moo Kratha place as I figured it is a Thai thing that is unknown among Westerners, so it should make for an interesting experience. (She had visited Thailand on her own many times before, but that was the first time I got to take her dinning and stuff.)
My ex-boss LOVED Moo Kratha so much she went back again on her own before she left Thailand. She was so puzzled how she never learned about it before in her many previous visits to the country. She seriously considered buying the Moo Kratha griller back to the States.
From a Japanese point of view, at first glance, Moo Kratha obviously looks like a Jingisukan pot, so I wondered how it ended up in Thailand. It makes sense that the pot spread via the local factories of Japanese companies. Jingisukan is a well-known specialty of Hokkaido in Japan, where lamb produce is common. I had the impression that it was a dish for cold regions, so it was strange to me that it has evolved and become a popular food in Southeast Asia, but I found it very interesting.
One of the first BBQ restaurants during my childhood is a Japanese one called "Daidomon", they already retied and left with one store, so it just matters of time till they're out completely. "BBQ Plaza" another original one and the one with famous Gloden BBQ pan is Thai take on Japanese flavor BBQ. Both of them is extremely popular in olden day when Authentic Japanese Yakiniku is still rare. Only BBQ Plaza manage to stay alive and become one of the biggest restaurants in Thailand.
At the moment the amount of authentic Japanese Yakiniku is everywhere and dominate luxury level of BBQ thank to the Thai love for Japanese style beef and bbq
Meanwhile Korean Pork BBQ only known as famous grill pork style when I was young but lack specialize restaurant, authentic restaurant only emerges recently during KPOP boom and can be seen more and more this day.
ps. Daidomon still sold their "Yakiniku sauce" in supermarket despite they fade from restaurant industry
It was called Korean-style grilled back in the old days. Since the sauces are different, it is a new kind of pot.
@@mickbotcast Originally, Daidomon use different type of Pan/Grill than the one used in Mookataa. Daidomon grill were flat-slotted iron, not dome shape as in current Mookata.
@@Wobbegong_th yes I did remember them, the Mookataa pan one popularity partly thank to BBQPlaza
It was in the 1960s, the Genghis Khan BBQ was a popular dish among Chinese immigrants who work in Japanese brand factories back then, brought into Thailand by Japanese workers. My great grand father used to lived around Yaowarat and his group usually played Mahjong after work and went outside for midnight meal, the one who gain the money would chose luxury Genghis Khan BBQ or Suki Hotpot, loser would choose Hobo porridge.
However, it was only the grille on charcoal until popularity of Korean meal changed to the steel grill pan in 1980s (Again, brought to Thailand by Japanese young business men at that time).
Moo Kratha steadily gains the popularity in Thailand amoung young generation due to carving for grill meat with rich flavour in affordable price.
In the 70s, my parents always brought me to Genghis Khan BBQ. In the 90s, I often went to Korean BBQ (Moo Korea) with friends . Nowadays there are Moo Krata places everywhere.
Your research is always top notch.
my fav culinary anthropologist back at it again
Always brings tears of joy when I see people cook food with so much respect n love n dedication n passion in Thailand.... thank you for sharing these stories....❤
I've been eating Moo kratha for 30 Years... It's very popular since I was fairly young... We have kratha at home which I also don't know who bought it and when 😂 it's our comfort food ❤
I mean since I was in primary school
kratha has already been there at home and everyone ❤ Moo kratha
It is so amazing how you keep making such great videos and research on the dishes in Thailand even as a Thai person myself never heard of. Yet, you make it so believable and enjoyable to listen to. As I am watching your videos abroad, you are making me want to just go back and have a taste of actual Thai dishes with my friends and family.
Keep up the good work.👍👍
Doing Moo Krata video in this weather is really something. Hope you hydrate yourself well. The whole SEA is melting.
Not anymore, rainy season has come early! Thank you climate change!! 😂
I salute you for going on a Moo Kratha tour in the middle summer! You are made of something else, sir. And thank you again for another wonderful video.
One reason for the sudden popularity of moo krata is that many places offers all you can eat buffet. This is a very popular deal for young people who eat a lot. You can spend 199 baht and be stuffed until the next day.
When i was a kid, around early-mid nineties, this Moo Katha was called, Neua Yang Kao-Li (literally, Korean Barbecue) with thai spicy dipping sauce. It was always a popular food in winter. Then when i was going to college, with the first wave of K-pop coming to the country, the name of recipe was gradually changed to Moo Katha.
Im a Korean who never know it😮😮

For me, Mookata is the ultimate hangover cure that over the years, more than ones has brought me back to life after a severe hangover. 🙏🏼
And nobody did it better than a place on Phetchaburi Rd, Bangkok called "Ladyboy Mookata. Because most of the staff wore wigs and were very feminine.
You're not drinking hard enough then
@@e8ghtmileshigh1What kind of horrible habits are you promoting? Drinking yourself silly is nothing to be proud of.
You usually get drunk while eating Mookata , not the other way around
@@Johnne009 Different strokes for different folks!
I usually eat it around 5-6 am. But usually haven’t gone to bed yet 😂😂😂
Another great video and beyond research from OTR thumbs up !
Beware of deadly decease Streptococcus Suis causing high fever and deaf that many Thais are suffering because of this activity nowadays and more. The bacteria can be in the fresh sliced pork meat that when using the same pair of chopsticks to pick raw pork to the pan and pick the cooked from the pan into one's mount. Though the bacteria will be easily eliminated by heat in the soup but some still remains on those same chopsticks. The Department of Health recommends using different pair of chopsticks or utensils for fresh meat only or always dip chopsticks deep in the hot soup after picking fresh meat.
The news might be inaccurate because while we use chopsticks to pick up raw pork for grilling, they dip the chopsticks into hot soup to sterilize them before using them to pick up the cooked meat to eat.
This was so interesting to watch, fantastic research and investigation!
it's amazing even how something invented less than half a century (or so) ago can have an origin so mysterious and hard to uncover
good work there team! now i'm just waiting for more barbecue and hot pot combination restaurants to open here in taiwan, my stomach demands grilled meat AND SOUP
Another top quality video, the research and story telling is amazing.
this is great content. Well produced and very interesting. I love thailand. Thanks OTR :)
Good as always.
Thank you so much for your effort.
Not the John Wick reference when Genghis Khan’s wife got kidnapped at 14:35 😂 great video overall, love the delivery & effort put into the research!
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Love your videos!!
My brother in law had one of these restaurants in Pak kret over 25 years ago ,it was 45 B back then,I absolutely love all you videos and I love that you really GET Thailand
I'm waiting for this topic.
I just tell my sister yesterday, there is a foreigner making videos about Thai's food but I don't see Moo Kra Ta topic.
How can he miss this iconic menu?
Another awesome video, love it! 👍👍👍
I'm too lazy to eat Moo krata, If a friend wants to be captain of the table though count me in ahah.
Your role is a supporter then? it best to have strong supporter when situation is dire after someone decide to order more food than we could eat.
Roles for the love of Moo Kata (party of 4+): grill master, shrimp peeler, veggie/broth tender, and all the support you need (late game even dog under table counts)
The joyful of Mookata is that you cook it for yourself. Especially when you have to keep an eye for the crispy belly pork before someone pinch it😂
Waiting for both of you to come back and visit Thailand.❤❤
@@poomrapeeniyamasindhu6475 Your Mookata modus operandi is really on point 👍
Another banger. Thanks again for you care and attention to detail over food history. Loved this episode and the way you took us down two assumptions which lead into the 3rd. Story telling was on point. I don't think the dish has taken off yet in NYC. I found a place in Queens offering it, Boon Dee. Not sure if it has entered Manhattan or Brooklyn yet. Hopeful it will arrive soon!
Very good documentary VDO , I love it.
One of the best things about watching your channel is watching you walk through places I've seen first hand.
Thank you for the vdo
So happy to have you do these kind of vdo for our Thai food
Another great one!
23:01 - I've always been amused by how that song got the "Sukiyaki" title. Someone at the time made the comment that the equivalent would have been "Moon River" being released in Japan with the title "Beef Stew".
Moo krata is one of my favourites
My earliest memory of this mookrata is when i was a kid (2 decades ago or more), about the same time japanese grill start coming in thailand along side sukiyaki, then korean bbq started after. That is why the sauce is the same as sukiyaki sauce or sometime just seafood sauce. Its not new at all, locals commonly eat this as common as esarn food like somtum. Family even make their own mookrata at home in gathering sometime.
I could recall steamboat(that is what we call hotpot in english before hotpot became a term) as a common thing to do for family gatherings especially for lunar new year. It is correctly attributed to Teochews and it is a very traditional Teochew thing to have ‘steamboat’ for cny eve. The traditional pan has a hole in the middle. I can recall that the grill-steamboat became a trend in late 90s in Medan but the dome shape was much flatter and the pan was much more deeper for the soups. It was just a short phase as steamboat back then was more about meatball and less about meat slices.
What a story ! Incredible origins
OTR never ceased to impress me about insight Thai foods :-D
Finally, the one that we all have been waiting for.
Definitely a must try. I've seen Korean BBQ and Chinese Hot Pot, but this is still something new and unique. Almost might be possible to approximate this at home. Thanks one more time, guys. Also thanks for the heads up on Mendes Pinto's travelogue, my copy should arrive tomorrow, and I'm anxious to delve into it.
In my hometown, we call it "เนื้อย่างเกาหลี" (Korean Grill Meat), but it is the same as "หมูกระทะ" (Moo Kratha). It has nothing to do with genuine Korean BBQ.
Same in Maha Sarakham.
This is old wine in new bottle (name).
Got popular because it is cheap.
EiawTai -> Daidomon -> BBQ plaza -> Moo kratha

Absolutely loving the t shirts in this story!
Adam, I remember that around 35 years ago Moo Krata is so rare in Bangkok. Instead my extend-family in Chiangrai introduce us to it. Perhaps, the popularity of Moo Krata in Bangkok is actually start elsewhere in the North.
26:40 the aunty Kanya's English is sooo good. I was surprised expecting her to speak Thai but she SLAYED. (im thai btw)
Mustache Adam came completely out of left field and I don't think any of us expected it to be such a banger look, but here we are, cheers to OTR
I was born and raised in BKK, my family and fiancé love moo krata so much we have it here in the UK once a month as a treat! Even my British friends ask ‘when are we having BBQ hotpot next?’ Hehe
This looks so good and now I see there's a Moo Krata place in San Francisco!
Another banger!
You're gonna be the reason I wind up getting my passport 🤣
Looks awesome, don't think I've ever seen Moo Kratha in Canada
In Thailand we have a fun saying: Moo kratha will cure everything( emotional, feeling ,mind) 😂😂
Well, that’s Thai food for you, and it’s the reason why I wanna be born as a macho eating machine in Thailand for my next reincarnation. Since when did the Thai ever stop renaissances through their cuisine.
Culinary wise they are one of the great scientists in food. Even bitterness tastes good when the Thai are cooking it. In fact, even Genghis Khan hot pot was actually a dish served we have had at a Thai restaurant about 25 years ago in St Helens, Uk called the Ruan Thai, & it was amazing then.
So many versions out here today, then again nobody does the yummy sauce for it like the Thai.
As usual we western only just doing what we do best -catching on 2 decades later when it’s come to food. Sorry folks just saying how it is with love❤❤😊
Finally real story of Ma Krata, thank you OTR for covering this. I have heard Thai people saying that the Khan amry using their helmet as a grill over fire seems a bit out of reach for me. Now that you covered this have you tried "Moo Jum" or "Jim Jum" it's almost the same as Moo Krata but in a clay pot with really tasty broth. The broth ideally should have grilled shallots, lemon grass, galangal, and Kaffir lime leaves!
My wife and I had a heated argument, and we ended up not speaking for almost ten days. Both of us felt strongly about our positions.
Today, for the first time in a while, I broke the silence and asked, "Do you want Moo Kra Ta for dinner?"
Just like that, we start talking again like an argument didn't ever happen.
Another Thai-Chinese creation that adds to the diverse Thai culinary culture.
Okay. This time, you've succeeded into making me crave to try this dish. Where oh where in Virginia or online can I purchase a Moo Kratha pan here? Thanks, and I love your show. It got me thru head and neck cancer treatment when I could only be fed thru a gastric tube. (sheer hell for months!). Thanks, Philip near your home town of C'Ville.
Cheers, thanks Philip and hope you’re doing better. Means a lot to hear. Where in CVA are you from? If you don’t mind my asking
It's so heartwarming to me to see you and Chinese Cooking Demystified's Steph and Chris hanging out together in Bangkok. 😇🥰❤🔥
Cool! When I visited Bangkok in 2008 our guide took us to an out door place where the locals ate, and it was this! Really good and cheap.
What, you feature Chinese Cooking Demystified and they don't even say any words?? Man!!
Lol let’s call that an “Easter egg” for sharp eyed viewers. Well spotted. If you look closely you’ll see those two (certainly Chris) in the b-roll background of a couple of our other videos, too.
@@OTRontheroadAnd you featured Ms. Bacon from the Dancing Bacons channel too. Okay, I admit that I watch far too much food content, but I have an excuse. I have been very ill over the past year and have been stuck in hospital and at home in bed for most of that time. I have to find ways to entertain myself, since life goes on for the rest of my family. It’s fine, I’m healing and can even cook a little again, and I’m looking forward to visiting the various local hotpot restaurants soon.
@@pinkmonkeybird2644 Glad you're getting better. Seen you on the Joel Bruner live group, (I think?)
@@dondobbs9302 I don’t think so, but thank you for the kind words. I’m so used to being busy with work, kids, home, etc. that it was a somewhat difficult transition to be lazing about in a hospital bed at home or in the hospital. I’ve found ways to fill my time, though. The internet really is a marvelous thing, I’ve taken classes online, am learning a new language, and am now generally able to amuse myself while everyone else at home is busy. I do watch a lot of TH-cam documentaries. I am also getting much better, so I have so much to be grateful for. Best wishes to you.
I had this 12 years ago in Pattaya. The people that took us there called it Thai bbq. There’s a big one in Pattaya where you pay two pieces. One is for the normal one, you get a table with a hole where they put a bucket with hot coal goes in and the cooking pot goes on top. You get a big buffet of raw small and finely sliced bits of meet and offal lots of veg and herbs. There are also some cooked rice and noodles. The other price you can get whole fish that they bbq for you.
If you google Thai bbq you get photos of the pot pan that sits on top
Another amazing video guys! Also goes to show that theres no such thing as authentic food as long as humans keep migrating around, they will keep sharing and changing foods gradually over time.
Wondering if Barbecue Plaza/Jum Zab Hut should be included?
Small part of indirect mentioning of Barbecue Plaza chain in the almost end of the episode. Being mentioned as ‘same grill pan in the air-conditioning shopping mall.
Around 20 years ago. Moo Gra-ta full name was Moo Grata Gao-Rhee (Korea) หมูกระทะเกาหลี. I think some 90's people still call it that. Which still refer to the current Moo Grata.
Special mention for Daria's t-shirt👍👍
Excellent research!! I just want to add a little trick on "The Grill" part 12.24 - ... To keep the Mookrata pan nice and clean (unburnt) for a longer period, we have to always keep the Mookrata pan full of meat to control the temp. If the pan is empty (or not full enough) the temp will rise high your pan will get burnt, black, and end up with a bitter taste & smell.
28:42 Back in 97, my Teochew-Thai friend in my Uni class aske me and friend eat it in Yaowarat. There were no holes in the pan like nowaday. Moo-kratha was popular and boom around 2000 when many people open it with buffet business model along many main road in Rama9, Ratchada and all over BKK since it's affordable and not expensive for student.
When I was in a secondary school in Bangkok, Dai domond, a BBQ restaurant was very popular then I went to uni in Chiangmai in 1997 and Moo Krata was everywhere around my university. I considered Moo Krata was something replaced Dai domond as it has a cheaper price and it has soup on the pan.
Simplest explanation is probably the correct one. The factory theory has legs, it may even be the factory or one of their ex-workers that adapted it into the Moo Kratha pan.
But another way it could have come from Korea is Thailand sent 12K soldiers to fight in the Korean War, maybe a soldier tried to recreate the KBBQ they had in Korea, but couldn't get the ingredients and substituted with local ones.
great video
Moo Krata really heal ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. Please try when you come to Thailand. Pretty please
Another point that may introduce Korean BBQ / Genghis Khan before the country is the Korea War. During 1950' North VS South Korea War, Thai sent some reinforcement to South Korea side. Thai even got the "Thai Soldiers Monument of War" built as gesture of thank. The last Thai soldier leave their Korea post in 1972 according to Korea Foundation article.
This has been the craze in Singapore and Malaysia for a couple years now. We've even come up with Halal versions of it.
If you want to eat moo kata in a halal version. Thailand is available as well.❤
Yoooo, I just ate moo krata for dinner. What a perfect timing!
It would also be interesting to dive into the origins of the dipping sauces for moo kratha!
What i growing up in Malaysia is the other way around. With soup pot in the middle and the frying plate goes around the pot. Also in the 90s
"Genghis-khan grill, manufactured by Japan in Thailand for sale in Korea"
This one, very loaded sentence described the Asian peace we have after WW2 ended.. Beautiful but packs a lot of meaning, more so in the future.
Also typo at 26:02. I think the subtitle should be "selling the original version" instead of "selling the original owner" because that would be illegal.
One of Singapore’s earliest Mookata restaurant opened in 2013 . I remembered it was called Siam Square Mookata . Nowadays you can find Mookata nearly everywhere 😄
It did abt 30-40years ago, we had a pot in the middle of bbq round metal plate in singapore .all over singapore
9:28 LOVE THIS MAN
best channel
The story of its origin to the Mongol makes sense. I mean the ingredients are never fixated. Everything from the farm and the wild can be mixed in. The cooking process is simple and quick. The pot set can be carried during a long travel. Everything is just so perfect for nomad lifestyle like the Mongol.
I had it the first time round 25 or more years ago. It was such a hype back then. I specifically remembered that all you can eat Moo Kratha buffet in 1998-99 would cost only around 69 bahts.
Love your videos! As a Thai person I found it interesting that I’m watching an American chief sharing history of Thai food on TH-cam. But I’m curious on how you do your research? Do you have a Thai staff helping you with it or do you do all the research yourself. Some of the topic I doubt that there’s a lot of information in English.
First time I had this was in rural Buriram in 2016. There was a place across the street from my mother-in-law's house. By an incredible coincidence my wife found "the helmet" at a local Asian market here in North Carolina just today. She wasn't even looking for it, she hadn't seen this video.
So good
I saw Mookata spots opened in Singapore, and not just one spot: I saw at least 3 during my 5-day travel.
I remembered having Thai mookata in Singapore around 20yrs ago. It's one of a very popular dish in alternative to the soupy Chinese steamboat/hotpot till today. A very popular dish in reference to Thai food here usually in the form of all you can eat style. Though in those years visiting Bangkok and Changmai, my Thai friends never brought me to a mookata. There was a changmai version where meats are cooked in a soupy Claypot. It's one Thai food to me and a comfort food to share with friends.
the whole street of banthatthong road had this , we didnt understand what this was . thank you for showing us
superb
Hmmmm, BBQ soup, my favourite. We have it every Sunday and my wife's is THE best, it's all in the pork broth.
Excellent video for a trivia junky
i remember eating this with my classmates in 2004 in chiang mai. i didn't know it was a newish thing. i just remember everyone getting mad at christoph for always eating all the meat before it was fully cooked so no one could get any.
I had it first time around 1999-2000 when there was one opened near the university I studied. I remember that it was way more popular in Chiang Mai before it becomes the thing in Bangkok around 2010.
definitely not 2000. I studied at Chiangmai University in 1987, Moo Krata is there around our university since I was there.
Just a question- have you looked in Jim Joom (จิ้มจุ่ม) which is also very similar to a hot pot? Do you know if that came first and moo krata evolved from it?
Interesting, in Taiwan we had always marketed something similar as a Korean dish called 銅盤烤肉. A convex plate made of brass for cooking meat with an outer basin for soup and vegetables. But Moo Kratha here, that is one big basin for soup. I would like to try it next time I’m in Thailand.
