About this restaurant

Ho Jiak Melbourne – Junda's Playground is the crown jewel of chef Junda Khoo’s three-level Malaysian dining concept in the heart of the CBD. Located on Level 1 of the revamped Tivoli Arcade, this refined venue reimagines Malaysian cuisine with bold creativity and modern flair. Signature dishes include the MasterChef-famous Laksa Bombs—dumplings bursting with laksa broth—10-day dry-aged Moutai Duck, and Vegemite-glazed Angus short ribs. The intimate setting, complete with crisp linens and ambient lighting, offers a unique dining experience that pays homage to Khoo’s Penang heritage while pushing culinary boundaries.

  • An Unforgettable Evening: Exclusive by Broadsheet

    A$250.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Aug 7, 2025 only
    Three chefs. One night only. On Thursday, August 7th at 6pm, three chefs come together for a one-off dinner that brings together technique, fire, and flavour. $250 per person. Chef Toshi (Sushi Oe) will open the evening with his signature precision in a sashimi and nigiri course that reflects the quiet poetry of Edomae sushi. Chef Junda Khoo of Ho Jiak fame follows with bold, punchy Malaysian-inspired snacks, unapologetically fiery, funky, and fun — a flavour trip from Penang to the streets of Sydney. To close, Chef Corey Costelloe (ex-Rockpool Bar & Grill) delivers a rich, masterfully cooked David Blackmore wagyu course, paying homage to Australian produce with finesse. Seats are extremely limited.
