For many Kuala Lumpur residents who enjoy the porkier side of life, Mr Ho’s Fine Foods in Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC) was a permanent fixture in the late 1990s and early 2000s, serving up premium sausages and to-die-for roast pork that had a constant throng of fans.
The business grew so much, it included outlets in other locations. When Ho Kim Loon, a trained butcher and owner of Mr Ho’s, closed his shop in 2009, his absence left a hole in the market. He spent the next few years in East Malaysia, in Kuching and then Kota Kinabalu, before a couple of F&B bigwigs persuaded him to return.
