Hah, thought I would return to update my blog on the latest shopping happening/opening in KL
You see both my wife and me are kinda shopaholic!!...we just love to spend the weekend window shoppings...Well all gays are shopaholic aren't we....How would the shops survived without our PINK dollars...
Lets start with Pavillion.
The first of the 3 malls that had rushed to open its doors for the Raya festivals. Well me being me...I was one of the kiasu....went to pay a visit on the first day( errr....later found out my wife even more steady....he was there before the official opening!! ) Expecting it to be kinda still under heavy renovation, to my surprise they managed to open quite a number of stores. First impression....the stores windows displays are huge and kinda overwhelming for some...like the ladies accessory shop BONITA...the Ah Lian shop with large window display....wah lau eh!!...overall it does look like SIAM Paragon. The layout is nice and kinda balanced. But the disappointment is the lack of new brands.....Its the same everywhere....Couple of new F&B outlets .....Essperamante and The Loaf....Well I would say Essperamante stands out and definitely would be the next gay hang out for people watching......Was there with my wife over the Raya weekend....met some of our kakis...and one bitch called us the "Kopi Ching" ( Queen of Coffee Cafe ) ....cos both of us always hang out in cafes over the weekend... The Loaf is your upmarket bakery...owned by Mahatir.....well maybe people are curious....so it gets crowded on the weekends.... but i would say the Chilli Foccacia bread is kinda nice.
Oh one thing I notice....we Malaysian are as kiasu as Singapore now...u see when I was in Singapore... there is this Donut shop called Donut Factory where kiasu singaporean will be in long que to buy ....Well now this same scenario is at the J.CO Donut shop..... the long que is there everyday!!!.....deja vu...remember roti boy ???....will this last?...time will tell...
My favourite hang out......Starbuck on the 6th Floor. Quiet and cozy on weekdays.
The Gardens
This mall opened a week later. Well I didn't rush to visit it ....went on the second day of opening...hahaha.....First impression....messy and dusty!!!.... how can allow that!.....My wife kinda like this place better because he likes the woody panelling and earthy feelings... They had 2 anchors tenants Isetan and Robinsons....well Isetan was a bored...seriously not worth your time ....KLCC outlet would be better. Ah...the old Robinsons from across the causeway is here....It was refreshing to have new label in town....and the customer service so far....impressive...hopefully they can sustain that smiley face....u see...business had not been that good.....there were hardly any crowd considered it was the Raya festival... very soon they would need to see how to bring in the crowd. Again not much new outlets/brands to shout about.. The F&B recommendation would be the DIN TA Fung ( famous Taiwan dumpling rest) and the Purple Cane Restaurant. Had tried Din Ta Fung in Taiwan and the quality almost the same ...but a bit pricey compared to Dragon-I....Purple Cane is a nice change if you enjoyed tea and much less oily cooking style....Now waiting for the opening of the new GSC Premium Cinema to see what is all about...
My favourite hang out.....Starbuck on Level 2.....hmmm....see some similiarity.... : )
Sunway Pyramid
Of the 3 this was the last to open and rank last of my list......cos its just not exciting at all....maybe it was not gay enough...hahaha...seriously...the outlets are so Ah Bengs and Ah Lians leh....go check out and you will agree. I have only spent 1 hour and I wanted to get out....The new California opened in the old wing....of the 3 California gyms .....this place is cozier ....but not happening cos ...all young Ah Beng crowd and not appetising!! hahaha....
The recommendation would be the Restoran Ole Ole Bali in the old wing.....The food is good and ambience ok but don't sit out side cos you are sharing the walkway with shoppers....so its not nice passer by staring at you while you eat...
My favourite hangout....cuba teka?
Which is your favourite?

Despite being a KLite, I have never been to Pavillion yet. Will be going there with friends this end of November. Seen it but not been there yet. Just past through while on the way to wedding dinner just recently. And yes, like Magus, KLCC is my favourite shopping centre. It's just about 20 minutes' drive from my home in Ampang.
By the way, you have been tagged to do a meme... go check it out! hehehe...
