Again, pretty...

I like the mall as the car park has ample space and easy to park, and there is a Killiney cafe.

The mall needs to also remove the gaming machines in front of Killiney, as there is too much noise from kids who get overly excited with the games.

Parents, please be responsible and discipline your kids appropriately as there are shoppers who’d like to have their meals/coffee with less...
