caption_attribution_description: English: Mu kratha (Thai script: หมูกระทะ) resembles a combination of a Korean barbecue and a Chinese hot pot and the diners cook the food themselves as with fondue. Meat (most often pork) is grilled in the centre while the vegetables and other ingredients, such as fish balls, cook in the soup. It is served with a variety of nam chim (Thai dipping sauces). This dish is normally only available at specialised mu kratha restaurants that are, due to the burning charcoal needed for the barbecue, open to the air although often roofed over against rain.
