Moo hong · Phuket

The centre of a Phuket Baba meal: pork belly braised for hours in dark soy, pounded garlic, palm sugar and plenty of black pepper until glossy and spoon-tender.

Moo hong is the soul of Phuket's Baba, or Peranakan, home cooking, a braise that traces directly to the Hokkien Chinese kitchen and its love of dark soy and warming spice. Families of mixed Chinese and local descent in the tin towns cooked it for everyday meals and festivals alike. Unlike most southern Thai food it is gentle rather than chilli-hot, sweet, salty and peppery, and the Michelin Guide singles out the mu hong at One Chun for its soft, tender pork belly.
