- Food Travel Log
- Thai dish Moo Ping: tender pork with a delightful chew and a sweet, rich sauce that pairs perfectly with beer! Speaking of which, when I find a dish I love, I dream of opening a restaurant abroad. If I started a Moo Ping shop, I'd mass-produce with my secret sauce, stock up on beer, and spend all day eating and drinking in my room.

- Moo Ping is a beloved Thai street food, particularly popular among both tourists and locals on Khao San Road. This simple dish involves skewering pork and grilling it with a sweet and spicy sauce, infused with ingredients like coconut milk, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar. It is even more delicious when paired with garlic rice or papaya salad. The history of Moo Ping dates back to rural Thailand, where it has been cherished as a family recipe passed down through generations. In Thailand, it can be enjoyed as breakfast or a snack, and it's typically served with sticky rice, similar to satay.\n\nIncidentally, the author dreams of opening a Moo Ping stall but seems to have only discovered the talent for emptying the beer in the fridge rather than mastering the sauce recipe. Perhaps a bit more effort is needed to earn the title of "King of Moo Ping Abroad"?
