    Leading shopping mall
    Parkson Grand is a high end department store occupying one corner of the biggest mall in Penang. Marks &Spencer has a smaller shop here too on the ground floor where main tenants are big international luxury brands. The upper levels hold all mobile phone companies and several smaller local businesses, mainly fashion. The food market in the basement is excellent and is surrounded by restaurants and take aways for all tastes.

    The next biggest mall
    If something is missing from Plaza come here to find it. My favourite is the large Bookexcess store upstairs selling new publishers' cast out editions in English starting from 18 rm. Browsing the endless rows of books I have made acquintance with lots of new interesting authors. There is a supermarket also in this basement.

    Another Mall
    We escaped the heat of the afternoon and spent an hour wandering through the mall but did not buy anything except for a drink. We do not travel to different countries to see malls, so naturally we did not really enjoy it.

    Now opens from 10am-1am (the next day)
    This food court is now very popular due to extended opening hours with most made on the spot drinks at a flat rate of RM 0.90. Don’t even have to go to balik pulau. The famous Balik Pulau laksa is available here.

    HEAD UP FEET ON THE GROUND
    most beautiful murals on the ceiling, walls, beams. there are pictures from famous monuments from all around the world including the Opera House. the shopping centre is an extension from Penang Times Square which was built on the tin mining site in Penang. there is a statue of two men to commemorate that and they are both beautifully decorated in different styles. it is a pity they are like ghost towns. one of the shop holders told us he hasn't sold anything in 3 months. seeing they are the shops for the very wealthy he only needs few sales a year. but like everything else in Malaysia needs upkeep, reason and advertising to bring the people in. Best place to cool off as they the coldest aircon of all buildings and if you like peace and quite. we enjoyed looking at all the decorations and paintings but not the shops.

    A Crafter's Paradise !
    As a Crafter I am always excited to find a store where I can purchase items to use in the crafts I enjoy - scrapbooking, sewing, quilting, making greeting cards and journals.
    This store has an amazing array of lace, ribbons, beads and buttons at very fair prices compared to those at home.
