Ho Ho or in Mandarin 好好 which literally means 'Good Good' or 'Double Good' is a Chinese BBQ Restaurant near our place. It was first found by our friends and on the following, the lovely couple went with us again to the same restaurant! It must had been more than just 'good'!
If you are coming from Parmer Ln and heading to I35, Ho Ho is situated at the intersection on your left side where Walmart is. The facade and interior look pretty sophisticated. As we entered, the ambiance is quiet, cozy and decorated with terracotta stone statues and some paintings.
Our friends recommended us the BBQ and roasted pork as the dish seems to be above par even compare to some places in Penang. As I flipped their menu, there were more than two dozens of choices including soups, vegetables, seafood, hot pot and sizzling platter. It seems they also serve a bit of Hong Kong flavors. Besides, Ho Ho also features set lunch from Mon - Fri (11am - 2:30pm) from $5.95. Apparently, the waitstaff is fluent in Cantonese but we did not ask where the chefs are originated from.
I wanted to ask for what I had been longing - 'Siew Bak' or roasted pork. It is called 'siew yoke' in Cantonese and this dish is prepared from three-layer pork belly. The tangy colored skin of the roasted pork is crunchy and addictive! Yet I was rather glutton and wish to try their BBQ chicken and duck as well. In the end, I opted for BBQ Combo (Combination) on white rice. By right, I would be getting BBQ pork, chick and duck (at $6.95). On the other hand, my Significant Other opted for BBQ Pork Noodles (and I would get to try the BBQ Pork on his dish), so I made up my mind to top up a buck and get the BBQ pork changed for Roasted Pork.
Mmmm...guess I was satisfied with my sinful indulgence! I got everything I wanted at once.
Check out what the rest were having for their dinner.
Beef Pan Fried Flat noodle - Appearance wise was dull. Taste wasn't good either, so will skip this next time.
BBQ Pork with Wonton Noodle Soup - nice soup and wontons were equally great which were made from minced pork and shrimps. The noodle was slightly thinner than what we used to have in our home country and the texture was less elastic. I like the BBQ Pork too.
Although the service is average but this restaurant obviously offers some of our favorite flavors. Seems it has won half the battle. We had been back recently and will be making a trip again to try their family dinner set!
