Amah by Ho Jiak

A vibrant, communal dining experience that serves the best Malaysian food in Sydney, Amah (meaning grandma) by Ho Jiak is an undisputed gem in Chatswood and deserves your undivided attention.

A new concept by culinary heavyweights Head Chef Hun Loong and Executive Chef Junda Khoo, they're bringing a more upmarket and glamorous approach to Malaysian dining. It's an electric and colourful celebration of Loong's grandmother's cooking. A vast, open dining room boasts endless possibilities with a quirky bar sitting alongside a theatrical exposed kitchen, crowned with the iconic Tiger Beer logo that deserves a bright-yellow spot on your Insta feed. Designed much like an outdoor food market, this is where foodies commune, make new friends, and soak in the chatter and buzz that surrounds this hotspot every day of the week.

Amah's A La Carte makes the decisions simple, there's a taste of Malaysia for every palate! Try the chicken wings, prawn toast, and prawn noodle soup dumplings to start you off.

Move on to bigger mains like a chicken curry or the char sui flavoured pork belly, caramelised and sweet to taste. Other classic mains feature a favourite known to everyone with the sweet and sour pork or go for their signature laska with mixed noodles and a spicy coconut soup and your choice of meat, Vege or tofu.

A delicious ode to Amah, this restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best offerings in Sydney, thanks to two world-class chefs who put family and food above everything.
