If you're looking for a signature dish that will best describe Chanthaburi's food scene, the Moo Chamuang is one place you can go for and is very popular in East Thailand. People do wonder, why the popularity hasn't reached other parts, as it's that good! This dish is made out of sweet curry based on pork and served in leaves of the cha Muang tree. This tree is, in fact, found only these parts. The incorporation of the leaves gives the dish a fine texture making it crispy and crunchy. Some good restaurants sell the Moo Chamuang for about 12 Baht.
