He is a big fan of street food but worries that many of the recipes he grew up with will be lost. So he came up with the idea of creating a food court full of the kind of popular street stalls that have been operating for generations. He calls it a "gourmet heritage food village" and bills it as the first food court of its kind in Malaysia.
Modelled on a traditional hutong, the narrow alleyways that characterise old Beijing, this "food village" is a maze of passages that link stalls. Rather than the traditional open-plan food court design, in which a diner can see every stall from a centre cluster of tables, in Lot 10 Hutong diners go searching for the dishes they want.
