Thread: A Tribute To The Beauty of 'Moo Gob'

Actually, if this was to be spelt phonetically correctly it would translate into something more like Moo Grawp, but folk in my social circles would see that as an attempt at being patronising and promptly beat you into a coma with an old flip-flop before robbing you of all your possessions, conducting a home invasion on your premises and kidnapping your children..so it's probably best to pronunce it as the layman would..

Hence - Moo Gob

To start proceedings, here's a quick youtube video of how to prepare it..

And simply delicious!

Last Sunday we had roasted belly pork, baked cauliflower with cheese sauce, carrots, leeks and potatoes.

As we had some of the pork left during the week we had the pork, with stir fry veg and rice laced a hot chilli sauce.

The meat was 150 baht a kilo.

Nobody beats the U.S. for unhealthy food!




Thai posers...

^ I had a deep fried steak in the states. I mean, c'mon. "Country Fried Steak" it said on the menu. Indeed, fried it was. deep. fucking. fried.

Fried pork belly - Filipino national 'cuisine' in three words.

We don't fry ours. We just dry the skin, salt the skin, and chuck it in our convection oven for 25 minutes. Pic next time I do it.

deep fried turkey is a popular meal these days in the USA for the Thanksgiving holiday meal. I have to admit, they are tender and juicy on the insides.

^Fat bastards will deep fry anything. Guaranteed seller is the words 'deep fried' before the product name. During my recent visit, my son asked me what a 'deep fried mars bar' was; told him it was nothing he needed to know about.

You've gotta love the Thais for this really. They've turned a guilty treat during a pork roast dinner into an integral part of their diet..

I could deffo go for a few slices of this and some apple sauce this lunch time..

Fuck me slapper.
I just popped out to get some of that shit, and got ushered inside the shack next door where they deemed it necessary to make me imbibe a small (half pintish) container of "Thai whiskey".
I blame you for the state i'm in, on the grounds that you are in fact an horrible twat for posting threads about fried bollocks.

Cheers Slap,

After reading this thread this morning I too had my stomach set to auto pilot for some moo gob. I couldn't tell the wife why though because she would have said

"Teakdoor? your making me walk bloody miles to find some food because you saw it on sodding Teakdoor!"

So after I had power marched past a few perfectly good restaurants I luckily spotted this guy.



And he gave me a plate of this.



5/10 for portion size. (I went back for a second plate)
6/10 for presentation. (lost a lot of points for the splash across the edge of the plate)
10/10 For flavour.

Whats the sweet sauce that I've got here? Is it hoi sin sauce?

^ barbecue sauce ?

Nope. I think Hoi Sin, just wondering if there's a Thai equivalent.

Hoisin sauce is commonly used for barbequing or in the common dish "Peking Duck." Hoisin sauce is soy-based and regularly used in Chinese dishes, as well as stir-fry recipes. The ingredients in a typical bottle of hoisin sauce are soybean paste, garlic, vinegar, and various spices such as chili peppers. The flavor this mixture yields is described as sweet, salty, and spicy.
It is common for people to either love the taste of hoisin sauce or hate it. Hoisin sauce has a very distinct taste. When used in large quantities, it may be overwhelming for someone who has never tasted it before. For first time users, water can be added to hoisin sauce to make the flavor less strong.
One version of a hoisin sauce recipe includes a combination of any type of soy sauce, peanut sauce, honey, molasses, white vinegar, sesame oil, and hot pepper sauce. There are many variations in recipes for hoisin sauce, but all contain the same basic ingredients. Hoisin sauce can be made into a creamy version, or it can be made to be thick. The consistency depends on the particular recipe used. The color of hoisin sauce is dark brown, sometimes with a reddish tint.

Correct. The bloke who served me must have nipped behind the ducks when I took the shot.

Hats off to the Chai See owner you found there, FP. They're meant to sell only noodles (Baa Mee Luang with the ol moo daeng) but he appears to be a bit of an entrepeneur and put every other dish under the sun on his menu - including of course the sacred moo gob..I bet the fuckers minted.
