Ubon Ratchathani


Mu kratha (หมูกระทะ) or 'pork pan' is very popular in Thailand. It's a combination of Korean barbeque and Chinese hotpot where you cook your own food on a table-top barbeque (pork on the hot plate, veggies in the broth). The small set at this buzzing outdoor restaurant is enough for one or two people. No English sign.
