Bukit Bintang Shopping
Where to Shop and What to Buy in Bukit Bintang .
Kuala Lumpur is a well-recognised international shopping destination. Known for its retail venues, ranging from glitzy shopping malls like the Starhill Gallery and Pavillion KL, to colourful street markets like Chinatown and Little India, KL is an especially good place to purchase reasonably-priced clothing and electronic equipment.

Some of the city’s major shopping centres can be found along Jalan Bukit Bintang. Known as KL’s ultimate shopping zone, Bukit Bintang presents a wealth of options that would appease even the shrewdest shopper. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find most of what you need at these shopping malls, suiting every budget and need, from premium stores to speciality outlets.


Lot 10 Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur

Bukit Bintang Shopping

The five-storey Lot 10, located along Bintang Walk – the Malaysian equivalent of UK’s Knightsbridge and America’s Fifth Avenue – is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most popular shopping malls. Sporting a vivid green façade and bold contemporary architecture, it’s easily accessible via the Bukit Bintang Monorail station just across the road and within walking distance to Sungei Wang and Bukit Bintang Plaza. Undoubtedly it is one of the best places to shop for branded apparel, while also finding fashion bargains at more reasonably-priced, nearby retail complexe

Shops
Owned and managed by the YTL Land group, the chic Lot 10 was founded in 1990 and offers over 100 stores serving up the latest fashion and accessories offerings from well-known designers. It used to house renowned brands such as Versace and Aigner, but since its decline in the late 90s, it’s become an enclave of middle-upper class designer labels such as Timberland, Ed Hardy, Nike, Topshop and more.

The mall’s anchor tenant is the Japanese department store, Isetan, which features a vast collection of branded apparel lines – though they’re more costly (RM100 and above for shirts, dresses, shoes, pants, tops and skirts) than the retail offerings just across the road at Sungei Wang and Bukit Bintang Plaza.

All the rage with KL-ites, the British retailer Debenhams occupies a three-storey corner lot of Lot 10, with colourful and pricey apparel; there’s a National Geographic store located on the third floor and an upscale and fresh-looking Giordano block situated opposite the main entrance.

Food
Food and beverage venues are abundant – those looking for pricey meals can head to Bon Ton Restaurant – a subsidiary of the popular Langkawi restaurant. The corner lot eatery on the ground floor features lots of green plants, heavyset wooden tables and chairs, an oversized bar with plush and modern stools and an extensive menu specialising in Asian fare. Kayu’s Nasi Kandar restaurant – one of the city’s most popular local eateries – sits opposite the main entrance as well as fast food chains such as McDonald’s and A&W. Additionally, there’s a rooftop brasserie named Teeq and the lower ground floor plays host to a sprawling food court.

Attractions & Activities
A popular venture with shoppers looking for upmarket bargains, Lot 10 is known mostly for its retail offerings. There isn’t a cinema, bowling alley or ice skating rink like other major Malaysian shopping malls as the complex aims to draw people in with its array of retail lines. However, there’s a popular dance club called Rootz on the mall’s highest floor.
