Ho Liao Melbourne

Ho Liao, located on Level 2 of Rainbow Alley in Melbourne's Tivoli Arcade, is a vibrant Malaysian beer hall that brings the rich flavors of Penang to the city's dining scene. Helmed by chef Junda Khoo, known for his Sydney-based Ho Jiak restaurants, Ho Liao offers a menu that reimagines traditional Malaysian dishes with contemporary twists. Signature offerings include loh bak—marinated pork and prawn mousse wrapped in bean curd skin and deep-fried—and asam Nyonya, a sour fish curry featuring barramundi. The venue also boasts a curated selection of Southeast Asian beers, Victorian and French wines, and cocktails infused with Malaysian flavors like mandarin and chrysanthemum. Designed to emulate the ambiance of beer halls in Indonesia and Taiwan, Ho Liao provides a unique and immersive dining experience in Melbourne.
