Ho Jiak Town Hall - Junda's Playground

The 38 Best Restaurants in Sydney, Australia - Eater

"Junda Khoo’s Ho Jiak restaurants are a tribute to his Malaysian grandmother. The Town Hall branch is probably the most ambitious and playful, complete with a neon sign reading, “Money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy char koay teow and beer.” For his take on the Marmite pork rib dish his grandfather shared with him back in Malaysia, Khoo swaps in Vegemite as the key ingredient (it’s much more Australian) and takes it up a notch by braising the short rib for 12 luxurious hours. The youtiao churros are a clever third-wave remix, best dipped in smoked-tea chocolate ganache." - Lee Tran Lam
