Celebrated Sydney chef Junda Khoo is behind Hot-Listed Malaysian restauarant Ho Jiak. He's brought the concept to Melbourne via a trio of venues set across three storeys in the revamped Tivoli Arcade.
In 2014, Junda Khoo launched his groundbreaking Sydney restaurant Ho Jiak with no formal culinary training – just a vision to introduce diners to the dishes he grew up with in Penang.
Years ago, Junda Khoo would frequent 125 York Street. Back when it was The Cuban Place. Now he's taken over the space himself, for Ho Jiak Town Hall. The dishes are unfussy and packed with umami and punch – dishes such as the soupless fried laksa, fried chicken with herb-infused batter so succulent it drips as you dip it in salt-egg-yolk aioli, and sotong goreng berempah, a spice-heavy, battered deep-fried squid.
