This is a deliciously unassuming little restaurant tucked away inside Strathfield plaza. Not what you would expect from mall food, it is so tasty! Well priced and served with a smile. Recommend.

Ho-Jiak is our go to place for a quick feed of Malaysian hawker styled food. My favourite dish is the char kway teow.

The best parts of this tray stacked with small delights, is the slow cooked beef rendang. Ikan billis(fried white bait with sambal chilli) is crispy and spicy. I loved the fragrance of the rice cooked in coconut milk. It's not gourmet dining, but it's good food with tons of flavour.

Whether they changed hands or just changed names I'm not too sure

Still in search for that great Malaysian outlet in Sydney,I've found this experience hit and miss

We felt that the taste was really authentic and the portion size was so generous as well, which is perfect for sharing. They provide extra chillies on the side to season the dish to your liking, which was a great touch as ...read more
