After being cooped up at home for so long, shopping malls are now the go-to place as it offers not just visual pleasure, but also provides entertainment, space to kill time, and air-con shelter. As we enter the new normal, things are starting to speed up, following countless delays over the past 2 years.
If you’re looking new recreation spots to meet up with friends after not seeing each other for such a long time, new dining outlets to enjoy meals with families, or simply a place to spend time with your lover – you can probably suggest these new malls.
Here are the 9 new shopping malls popping up in Klang Valley:
1. Pavilion Bukit Jalil
This is one of the most anticipated malls of the year. Slated to open in December 2021, it’ll have plenty of space for you to stretch your legs as it has over 1.8 million square feet of retail space. Aside from walking the length of the mall (the most exciting thing, really), it’s a haven for food lovers with plenty of delicacies for you to satisfy yourself with. If you’re looking to be entertained, you can either go ice skating, karaoke, or watch movies at Dadi Cinema, that is, if you’re not bored of staring at a screen yet.
2. Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport
Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport Kuala Lumpur will be the first LaLaport developed in Southeast Asia and it can be found in Bukit Bintang.
