"Best in KL" Roast Pork Knuckle - Bavarian Bistro @ Lot10 Hutong Food Court

Wokay, so in a popular local forum that shares the same name as a techie shopping mall in Bukit Bintang, some random person said that the Roast Pork Knuckle in the Bavarian Bistro in Lot 10's Hutong food court is the "best in town." So I drag the darling along with me to go try.

You know lah - since it's on the internets it must be true!

The Bavarian Bistro is somewhere in the middle of Lot 10's Hutong food court - can't miss it! Lots of different beers available if you're a kaki botol.


Fusion decoration - statue of Chairman Mao also adorns the counter.


On to the food though! The Roasted Pork Knuckle (MYR37.00) was, to put it nicely, a disappointment. The skin was roasted very well - it was nice and crispy without being tough or burnt, but that was about the only 'plus' point. There was a lot of meat but it was rather plain tasting and something like half of the meat was dry and hard and bordered on inedible even after drenching with gravy.

Comes with sauerkraut (which wasn't sour enough) and cold boiled potatoes.


The Bavarian Sausage Combo (MYR24.00) combined 3 sausages - 1x Thüringer, 1x (forgot the name) and 1x plain normal pork sausage. This one comes with sauerkraut and potato salad. The sausages are, pretty good, but also not particularly special. Lots of other sausage-serving places like EuroDeli and Stadt have better sausages at similar prices.


Bavarian Bistro is in Lot 10 Hutong food court - it serves lots of beer, roast pork knuckles, sausages and a few different kinds of porky dishes. Non-halal, obviously :)

Lunch at Lot 10 Hutong Food Court

We've heard of Lot 10's Hutong Food Court for a while now, but as we're not working in KL, kind of ... hard to just drop by for lunch when it takes half an hour to go and half an hour back.


Anyways better late than never, so the darling and i finally take a trip to see what the hype is all about.


Initial impressions are that the decorations are somewhat ... multiple personality disorder-ish. Some parts of the food court have nice Chinese-style decorations:


... other corners have a pretty modern/minimalistic look:


... and I have no idea how to describe this corner:


Overall it can be quite maze-like and claustrophobic, and I'm fairly sure the place could do with a lot more seating. Anyway, our first stop is the Imbi Road Pork Noodles stall for which we try the Peppered Pork Stomach Soup (MYR10.00). It's nice and peppery, and the pig stomach was cleaned quite well with no 'smell.' Boss of the place was a cheerful chap, too.


We also try the Hokkien Mee (MYR8.90) at Kim Liang Kee. The noodles are just simply delicious, but ... given the sheer amount of lard used to fry, probably not the most healthy of food choices.


Finally, on a suggestion from a random foursquare user, we also try the Teriyaki Pork Burger (MYR8.90) from Kissaten. It's got a very Japanese taste - lots of Mayo, and the pork patty is big and juicy.


Overall, given the very reasonable prices, it's a great place for lunch in the Bukit Bintang area, and I'd definitely drop by again the next time I'm in the area.
