The sesame oil chicken hot pot is a classic Taiwanese flavour combination, with braised pieces of tender chicken in a sesame oil-rich broth flavoured with ginger, wolfberry, corn and mushrooms.

Priced at $90 per head, you’ll choose five items from their tasting menu to start off with – think M9+ wagyu nigiri, Tasmanian uni served on a crunchy nori cracker, or the most luxuriously silky lobster bisque soup. Mookata hotpot comes on a gas burner with a raised grill plate in the centre of the appliance. Pros grease the grill with a chunk of lard and pour stock into the moat surrounding the grill.

You can also get a combination of two soups, with the hot pot divided in two. Vietnamese customers also like to dip the cooked fish in a fish sauce, which brings out the flavour of the silver perch, Nguyen says.
Their all-you-can-eat specials range from $35 to $50 per person. Scan the wall to choose cult-status instant noodles, sausage, kimchi and more meaty delights to add to your feast.

They’re available Fridays and Saturdays, and can be picked up from Cookes Food’s St Kilda headquarters or delivered for $15 – either to your doorstep or directly to the park.
