The jyutping is "Po Po," but if you can't read jyutping then it is pronounced sorta like "pau pau" (it's hard to type out how it is supposed to sound like).

Pau Pau is the English spelling for maternal grandmother in Cantonese. It is very specifically maternal grandmother. Ma Ma is paternal grandmother. There are specific names for all sorts of relationships in Cantonese.
