No rice or noodle dish is over $15 at Junda Khoo's new rooftop beer hall
Malaysian$
Since opening the wildly popular Ho Jiak in Sydney, now with four locations, Malaysian-born chef Junda Khoo has been sharing the food of his homeland and challenging expectations of what the cuisine can be. Now he's brought the party to Melbourne, with a three-storey Malaysian mega-venue. The cherry on top is rooftop beer hall Ho Liao (Level 2, Rainbow Alley).
While the menu might read conventionally, Khoo puts his own spin on things. His signature char kwai teow is 'not traditional, not authentic', with more wok hei than you'd expect. The loh bak (five-spice pork rolls) use fatty pork jowl instead of the more common mince and add prawn mousse to the mix. The rendang curry stars braised wagyu shin for extra flavour.
All the rice and noodle dishes are priced at $15, but they're moderately sized so you can order several. Want to splash out? Go fingers-first into the delicious mess of lobster or crab, with your sauce of choice including ginger and shallot or Malaysian chilli.

Oasis pay tribute to Irish roots in sell-out Dublin gig
The Gallagher brothers have paid tribute to their Irish roots during a sell-out gig in Dublin, as Oasis returned to Ireland for the first time in 16 years. Tens of thousands of fans descended on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars performed to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and are scheduled to do the same on Sunday night. Health officials had advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted. As the band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour holds a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian brothers have often spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas. They display the image of an Irish harp as part of their comparatively understated stage decor. In a regional change to the warm-up tunes, the crowd enthusiastically joined in singing as The Auld Triangle blared over the stadium speakers before the brothers walked out, as Fuckin' In The Bushes played for their entrance. Liam also dedicated Roll With It to the people of Charlestown, County Mayo - where his mother hails from. Mid-song, he also turned to the upper tiers where she was expected to have been sitting and blew kisses as he mouthed: "I love you". Liam Gallagher told the crowd: "Oasis vibes in the area, Dublin vibes in the area." The singer, who described himself as a "Croke Park virgin" because the band had never played there, added: "This is the soberest I've ever been in Ireland." Acknowledging how fans have missed the presence of the band, Liam added: "You've been missed as well - you lunatics." Fans said Dublin was "buzzing" for the reunion, with some comparing it to Christmas in August. Sarah and Neil Charlton travelled from Southampton to see the band, after a determined search for standing tickets saw them clinching access in Dublin. Charlton said they have both been waiting a long time to see the band reunite, having seen Oasis multiple times before their extended hiatus. "It's just so nostalgic - all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up," Charlton said. "When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together." The highly anticipated 41-date run has already seen the band play Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. They are also headed to the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan.

Dublin buzzing ahead of Oasis' return to Ireland
Dublin is "buzzing" as Oasis return to Ireland for the first time in 16 years. Tens of thousands of fans descended on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars will perform to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday nights. Fans will enjoy the music in temperatures above 20C. Health officials advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted. The band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour will hold a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.

"It's just so nostalgic - all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up," Charlton said. "When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together." Oasis formed part of the romantic story for Lisa and Alan Roe too, who said their love of the band dates back to when they got married in the 1990s. He said the band's reunion was an emotional time. "That brings an aura about in everybody and a buzz and the memories of growing up in Dublin with them - it's absolutely out of this world," he said. Sinead Millea from Kilkenny previously saw the band in Limerick in 1996 and is glad the brothers have patched things up. "Maybe we're all going through a bit of a midlife crisis - I turned 50 this year, and look, Noel and Liam, they're in their 50s as well," she said. "And maybe things just dawned on them that life is too short and just, let's put grievances to bed. They seem to be getting on great, and it's fabulous. And at the end of the day, music transcends everything." The support acts for the Dublin dates are Richard Ashcroft from The Verve and Cast, formed by John Power after he left The La's. The set list has crowd-pleasing hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol and Wonderwall. Fans have also been treated to favourites including Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory - before a Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova crescendo.
