What's the story behind the name?
We wanted a name that exudes good vibes, positive energy, and is catchy.
What sets Lucky Lucky Foodstore apart?
Food courts serve a common purpose: To act as a versatile space for a large number of people to dine on a wide variety of food. But what's been missing is a contemporary ambiance with a feeling of fresh and young comfort. We approached the design as we would if it were a restaurant. What has yet to be seen in a food court in Kuala Lumpur is a food court that also offers an intentionally curated ambiance and feeling of fresh and young comfort, so we're here to fill that niche.
We paid attention to every single detail. A simple detail would be our choice of colour palette and customised tableware. We used melamine due to the high usage but we were careful in our choice of colours and the type of plates we use, so as to deliver a fresh and surprising experience.
How do you think food courts have evolved?
Food courts are typically the same in terms of food selections and ambiance. In recent times, this has definitely changed. Tiffin Eats is one very good example of a nicely curated concept that had evolved from traditional food courts.
