77 Restaurant and Bar, Sydney

A Korean BBQ or Japanese BBQ is pretty common, isn't it? How about Thai BBQ or they normally call it, moo krata. First of all, the griller is different and they don't use charcoal. For Thai BBQ, you not only get to grill your meat, but you can also get to put your ingredients on a broth like hot pot on the same griller plate. Probably, I'm guessing that the original idea must come from the person who can't decide his/her meal. "Hmm... should I get a BBQ or a hot pot meal!!! Ding..... How about have them both together at the same time." Anyway, whoever invented this must be very genius. So now, we can get to enjoy a tasty meal under one roof.

Another great advantage is we don't need to fly to Bangkok to be able to enjoy this. We now have a restaurant serving moo krata in Sydney and the best thing is, it comes as a buffet. The price for an adult starts as cheap as $29. It's included unlimited vegies, meats, and seafood from the display fridge. Also, DIY papaya salad, hot food from the hot bar, drinks and boba milk tea. Yes, you read it correctly. Unlimited boba milk tea. So, gooooood.

They also have premium quality meats as part of their premium buffet option with the price for $55/pp. However, if you pay by cash, it will cost you only $45. So, don't forget to caryy some cash. You need to order these premium beef and other seafood items by scanning the QR code. So, basically with premium buffet you still can get all items from a standard buffet plus premium items as well.

The way Thais do their BBQ is firstly put a pork fat on the griller plate and rub it around from time to time. This way is to make the meat not stick to the pan.
