00:00Did you know that moo bing is the traditional to-go breakfast in Thailand?

00:04And now there's a new twist on it, and this is moo bing noom soot.

00:08It's been around for a while, but you know, it's kind of different from the old one.

00:13This version adds sweetened condensed milk to the marinade for a richer, sweeter flavor.

00:18But here's the thing, some Thais aren't sold on it.

00:21But they prefer this version, where it's the traditional style where it's marinated in soy sauce,

00:26garlic, and a hint of sugar grilled until caramelized.

00:30But you know what the problem is?

00:32It's getting harder and harder to find.

00:35Why?

00:35For many, it's about nostalgia.

00:37The original moo bing is simple, savory, and smoky.

00:41A flavor that reminds them of breakfast from childhood.

00:44And some even remember when they used to cost just two or one baht each.

00:49So which one would you choose?

00:51The sweet newcomer or the timeless classic?
