Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 Winners and Results
Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 Winners and Results
It was a great evening with free flow champagne, wine, beer and finger food in KL Pac Sentul for the Time Out KL Food Awards 2011. This was my first time attending the award show after missing the first few.
Interesting enough, this year’s nominees for the awards are broader than previous years. There are hawkers to fine dining restaurants and it is interesting to know who will prevail as winners.
This is also the first year Time Out KL inviting bloggers to participate in the award show. We are one of them, nominating Lot 10 Hutong for the Best Hawker category.
On top of having a great time there, we were also delighted to see old friends and we did a lot of catch up there. There were also a number of familiar faces from restaurant owners and media friends.
Dominic Lau and Daphne Iking run the show, a short and funny award show. After thousands have voted, we were also as anxious as the rest. The winners and the results of Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 are as below:

Kind of suprise to see the Fatty Crab appear to be the winner. (Maybe other people keep on nominate Fatty Crab, no surprise)
Hi KianFai,
Everyone was surprised by Fatty Crab. Maybe we should go there one day?
Wilson
Good seeing you at the event! 😀
Kelly,
We had great times!
Wilson
Wow, been seeing the Fatty Crab restaurant so many times, but yet to go give them a try. And them winning an award simply means it’s a must try location for seafood.
Hi Thristhan,
You should be there!
