Lot 10 Hutong

YASSSSS. So gerdddd. Basically almost all my favorite Malaysian foods under one air-​conditioned, free wifi, roof. Great spot to bring your out-​of-​town friends to try some (or ALOT, depending on your appetite) of KL’s best street dishes. Everything I’ve had here is delicious. Some of my favs include the fried oyster omelette, siew bao, and chicken rice with siew yoke.
LOVE!

Hutong is located on the lower ground floor of Lot 10. When you enter via the street entrance, it doesn’t seem obvious that this is a food court. Usually food courts are pretty straightforward with rows of food stalls. Here the food stalls are structured like a maze. And since it is on the lower ground level, this spot feels very cavernous.
Hutong is a different type of food court than the ones you see at other shopping malls in KL. That is because it consists of over 30 vendors which are all heritage brands. What this means that each eatery has a history dating back at least 40 years and has instant name recognition. Since these vendors have a long history in business, you know that the food here has to be pretty good and has been vetted for quality to be part of this «best of» food court.
All of the food vendors are Asian brands. The food offered here seemed to be primarily Chinese and Malaysian. Though there is Korean and Thai food available. Not all of the food stalls are eateries though. There are a few desserts, juice bars and snack places here.
The pricing seems to be a little bit higher than you might pay at other places. But I think it is worth the price because this is an indoor food court with air conditioning and plenty of seating. And because the heritage brands here are among the best in what they have to offer.

It’s indoors and has air conditioning. On a hot day or rainy afternoon, this place is perfect. There’s plenty of vendors to choose from. It lacks Indian food, but has just about everything else. It’s more expensive than the outdoor street vendors, but it’s worth it for the air con and roof. Perfect place to go for lunch.

Now this is probably the best-​looking, best-​serving food court in town, especially if you’re looking for an experience where you don’t have to expose your friends, visitors and guests to possible hygiene issues (as so many, sadly, are); it’s non-​halal, but there are plenty of things you can order that’s not pork. YTL, the conglomerate that owns most of Bukit Bintang, have specially tapped notable local food stalls and given them spaces in Lot 10 Hutong — and you’ll never notice a taste difference, despite the fancier atmosphere. Whether it’s char kway teow or bak kut teh, Hainanese chicken rice or beef ball noodles, you’ll get your fix here.

Hutong is located on the lower ground of Lot 10 on the streets of Bukit Bintang. Hutong is an indoor hawker food court and here they sell various local foods in each different stalls. Whenever i come to KL, i just love visiting this food court.
I came here a few times and i’ve tried the beef noodles, char kuey teow and dim sum. It isn’t quite the best hawker food i’ve ever tasted, but i just love how they have different dishes to pick from. The prices for food here are pretty expensive for local hawker food but the place is well air-​conditioned and is pretty clean. Once i ordered a har gao dim sum which was standard 3 pieces and it was RM9. I thought it was pretty expensive, and the taste was good but not great. However, there are some dishes that i really liked here which is the fried oyster omelette and claypot lo shi fun. There are also some Malaysian desserts here and some chinese biscuits and pastries for sale if you are craving for something sweet after a savoury meal. This place is my top pick when i’m in KL looking for something nice to munch on.

I used to love coming to Hutong for some hawker food whenever I am down in Kuala Lumpur city centre. It was like entering an underground gathering of the deemed best roadside hawker food stalls in Malaysia. I used to love their duck egg Chow Kuay Teow, Hokkien Mee, Beef Ball Noodles, and their Chinese Mochi that comes in different flavours dipped in crushed peanuts.
Sadly, I could not find the Chinese Mochi stall anymore, and the quality and taste of the food has drop down two notches compared to when Hutong first opened, except the Beef Ball Noodles that remained just as good.
In the past, I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra to eat at Hutong because it was eating good hawker food in an air-​conditioned room, but now that the quality of the food has dropped, I would only go to Hutong to eat if I happened to be doing some shopping around the area with a tight budget for food.

Whenever I’m in Pavilion KL and I feel like having something a little cheaper for lunch, I always take a walk over to Hutong in Lot 10 down the road Its about a five minute walk to the Hutong food court. When you enter their side entrance on the street, you instantly feel like you’ve just entered an old Chinese village or something. It’s quite dimly lit and the aromas is just fantastic. Their fried carrot cake stall is a must try as well as the fried oysters in egg and flour. They also have a Dim Sum stall here that serves a really good Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Even though this place is cheaper than most restaurants in Pavilion, by no means is it at your usual hawker food prices. It still is more expensive of course.

It is a large (non-​halal) food court located at the lower ground of Lot 10. You can find the entrance next to the Zara outlet outside the mall. The entrance is rather small (which always gives me a feeling that something purposely hidden down there), but when first enter you can see lots of photos of customers including the famous ones, as well as many traditional Chinese decorations from the latter time of Qing Dynasty.
Along the way you will discover lots of food and drink stalls from authentic local delights, to other Asia’s cuisines and even Western’s (it’s like you will never see the end of it), such as Hokkien mee, pork bihun, wanton mee, dim sum, porridges, roast pork, tarts, grilled burgers and chops, pastas, etc. You can also get local Cendol and ABC here! My must order lists are its Hokkien mee, egg tarts and ABC.
Therefore it’s a good choice to go for if you have no idea what to eat, or tired of the shoppings, just go down there and slowly pick your favourite! Take note that it’s a bit pricey compared to other food courts, but you know the prices are likely the same around that area.

A popular food court seated at the basement of Lot 10 shopping mall, Hutong brings the best KL street food under the same roof.
Here you will find the most authentic hawker fare like fried oysters, beef ball noodles, roast pork, Hokkien mee, even pork burgers. The catch is, prices are not in hawker standard.
