When the news of the opening of the 2 shopping malls was announced, I couldn’t think of anything but to visit the place. Finally got the chance today due to the long Hari Raya weekend break. In the beginning I wasn’t so enthusiastic about going in the weekend because the mall would be crowded with people. You know how I hate looking for a place to park and queuing. But Mum and Dad was excited about visiting the new malls so reluctantly I tagged along. They were thinking of covering the 2 HUGE malls in one day.
We went to Pavilion first as it was nearer. I was in complete awe when I stepped into the mall. The place is huge and pretty. Where have the old BBGS gone? I never knew the school was this big before. The whole architecture was grand, I must say. I feel so small…
20% of their tenants are mainly new foreign brands such as Club Monaco, Mooks, Marc Jaacobs (*faint*), Alexander McQueen (*double faint*), Hermes (*triple faint*) and Juciy Couture ( finally they are here). Not fogetting J. Co Donuts, the donuts most Indonesian crave for. I heard the longest queue they ever had in their Indonesian outlet is around 21 metres!!!
Malaysia people don’t want to lose out too, I guess. The queue was already quite long when I reached there. So kiasu! Haha. I’m also one of them. While queuing, I can’t seemed to get my eyes off the yummy array of donuts. Looking at them is more than enough to make me drool. I don’t know which to choose. All looked delicious. They even come in cute names, Al Capone, Miss Green T etc. I wonder if I can have EVERYTHING! (sticking my face at the glass)
No. No. You can’t let people know you are THAT gluttony.
LOL. However, I did get 1/2 dozen of it. When it was my turn to choose the donuts, there wasn’t much choice left 
Coco Loco was not in sight. So I settled for something similar, a mixture of chocolate and banana. A few seconds later, my eyes sparkled when the crew start arranging some freshly made donuts. My Coco Loco is there! As fast as lighting, I alerted the crew and asked them to change it for me. I know I sound picky but when it comes to food, I want the best and nobody can stop me.
On the same floor, it also housed an international food supermarket called Mercato, the 1st in Malaysia, I heard. Something like Isetan supermarket but on a bigger scale. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the size and the amount of international food they carried. It’s so little compared to the one I encounter in Bangkok. Nothing beat Gourmet Market in Siam Paragon. Not even a bit.
Next stop, we headed to The Gardens. Well, this is not the 1st time I’ve been there. I visited Robinsons with my cousin a week before. That shouldn’t count as I’ve yet to cover the entire mall. As soon as I reached there, I went into Robinsons. I’m still very much enchanted by the great stuf they offered. The bags, shoes and clothes…I’m speechless. I want EVERYTHING!
We had dinner at Din Tai Fung because I begged them to have it. I used to have it when I was in Singapore. Quite good and all their outlet in Singapore is packed with people. For the 2nd time in a day, I feel crushed. The food does not really come up to the standard that I want or should I said, the one in Singapore. Don’t ever waste your money on this.
I considered Malaysia a newbie in the shopping scene. The 2 malls added up couldn’t even compete with our neighbours. Singapore has shopping mall on almost every corner of the island while Bangkok has the largest mall (Central World) in South East Asia and Hong Kong. At least we are keeping up and not left behind.
