ย ย ย Read moreNOT HAPPY WITH THE SECURITY GUARD HERE!!
My boyfriend and I were on a double date with our friends and we were taking photos in front of a shop. When it was just me and my female friend, the security guard said nothing. When my boyfriend and his male friend took photos in front of the shop he rushed up to us and started telling them off. Instead of giving us equal treatment he only picked on my boyfriend and his friend. My boyfriend was calm but the security guard got very worked up and started pushing him. I'm glad we were all in a good mood because otherwise that man would be unemployed right now... SO UNPROFESSIONAL.
Other than that, I bumped my review up from 3 stars to 4 stars.
This mall was going downhill at a racing speed and the shops were closing down.
But after much renovating and inovation the mall is completely transformed!
Very clean and very nice design when it comes to the layout and architecture. So many more amazing stores to visit inside after the renovation, and walkways are lovely and wide.
I do miss the area with the steps, grass and ths fountain. My friends and i have been hanging out on those steps since primary school, but this mall needed a drastic change and thats exactly what it...
