What do you guys think of the street food? It may be humble fare and with not so pleasant ambience? But for me, that is where the good place to eat local food that you won't find else where, hardly duplicated as one cannot truly source/recreate the same ingredients, ambiance, and all things geographically and culturally that's tied with the street food. The most precious thing is many street food vendors have been in their business for more than 10 years, or even 50 years! Imagine what sort of mastery you'd have by traditional cooking skill and heritage which you hardly to find in this commercial market now.
However, there is a place here to let you enjoy the great street food with air-con and pleasant ambience. A Malaysian tycoon, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, OBE, Managing Director of YTL Corporation (www.ytlcommunity.com), has taking Asian hawker cuisine global with Lot 10 Hutong, a unique concept one-stop gourmet heritage village, offering many hundreds of selections of the best local comfort foods that have passed the test of time in Malaysia as well as throughout the region. Each stall is personally hand-picked and is already recognised as a master of its craft, be it noodles, pastries or soups.
Recently, I've had the honour of attending a luncheon hosted by Tan Sri Francis to showcase a classic “dai chao” cooking by one of his favourite chefs, Wong sifu, at Wong Wok大皇鑊, Lot 10 Hutong十号胡同.
Wong Wok is a kitchen helmed by Chef Wong – an award winning restaurant chef.
His cooking technique is a classic Chinese “dai chao” style by which the focus is on meticulous steps taken in each process of cooking and the rendering of dishes that we Malaysian grew up with. As fate would have it, Wong sifu’s passion was recognized in Kuala Lumpur and he joined the YTL Food and Beverage team. With Wong at the helm of Shook!, YTL’s Chinese Kitchen, his signature Dancing Prawn, Sang Har Sang Mee, steamed salted fish minced pork cooked with salted fish from Kampung Ang Mo Bah, was birthed.
The Menu of Wong Wok.
Luncheon kick start with flavourful crab.
Chilli Crab 辣椒蟹 Market Price
[Recommended] Chilli crab hits all the right spots with tangy gravy that seeps into the succulent flesh of the stir-fried crab, served with the shell on, and best to paired with Hainan toast. This dish consists of fresh crabs cooked in a sweet, savoury and spicy gravy, it is a real treat and best eaten with your hands! Too bad that i have allergy in crab, but don't care! i eat Hainan toast by dipping the tangy gravy because it is too tempting LOL!
