Wara Wara Izakaya - Elizabeth St, Brisbane CBD

Wara Wara offers a wide variety of hotpot options as well as other Korean/Japanese fusion dishes but since it was a chilly night, we decided to go ahead with their 'Spicy Seafood Hotpot' in which interestingly, you can choose pork or beef. Their table for two can be a bit small so bear in mind when you do order something large to share, you might need to place the water bottle jar on the floor and just cramp everything else in between on the table. So, a tip, would be to ask for a bigger table if possible.
The Udon is an add on if you would like to add noodles on top or on the side of the hot pot. The size of it reminded me of the udon pre-packed that you can get from the asian mart or supermarket but not enough for two people or more, I reckon anyway. The pork was also separated which allows you to time when you would like it go in or put it in all at once.
Once mixed altogether and left to simmer, the udon and the pork balances the seafood and fishy-ness of the hot pot but since most of it was seafood, it was rather very fishy. The chilli powder at the bottom always leaves that throaty feeling when you're slurping on the soup but mix it well so that you can kind of avoid it. Mussels, squid, prawn and a couple of other seafood was amongst what kind of seafood you would be getting, there was quite a handful of it too, good to know you're getting your meal for what you paid.
