点评:Located underneath the Petronus Towers and next door to the KLCC Park, this is probably the flagship of all the shopping mails in KL, so we went in to take a look.
Yes, it’s very clean, and European in design and contains all the top market brands you would expect and if you are into brand shopping you will probably like it. But it wasn’t for me.
But then, being a European tourist, I guess I am not the target demographic for this shopping centre as the last thing I want to do when exploring Asia is to feel I am back in a posh shopping centre in Europe, whereas for the locals I am guessing this is part of the appeal. For any British readers the feeling I got here was Bicester Village on steroids and as I hate Bicester Village with a vengeance, you can guess how I felt about this one.
I did give it a go though and as a wearer of Sketchers footwear found the Sketchers store to see if I could get a bargain. But alas, even with their 40% sale I could get my usual Archfit shoes cheaper back in the UK.
As shopping centres go, I much preferred the Pavilion Mall, a walk away on the KLCC - Bukit Bintang Pedestrian Walkway, as at least there, there were things that made me feel like I was in an Asian city.
However, like all posh shopping centres in KL, one key selling point is that the air conditioning is fantastic if you need to get out of the heat.
翻译:这家购物中心位于双子塔下方,毗邻吉隆坡城中城公园 (KLCC Park),可能是吉隆坡所有购物中心中的旗舰店,所以我们进去逛了一圈。
没错,这里非常干净,设计风格也很欧式,汇集了所有你期望看到的顶级品牌,如果你喜欢品牌购物,你可能会喜欢这里。但它并不适合我。
不过,作为一名欧洲游客,我想我并不是这家购物中心的目标客户群,因为我在探索亚洲时最不想做的就是感觉自己又回到了欧洲的高档购物中心,而对于当地人来说,我猜这正是它的魅力所在。对于英国读者来说,我在这里的感觉就像是打了兴奋剂的比斯特购物村 (Bicester Village),而我非常讨厌比斯特购物村,所以你可以想象我对这家购物中心的感受。
不过,我还是进去逛了一圈,因为我经常穿斯凯奇 (Sketchers) 的鞋子,所以我找到了斯凯奇专卖店,看看能不能淘到便宜货。唉,即便他们打四折,我在英国买我常穿的Archfit鞋还是更便宜。
说到购物中心,我更喜欢步行即可到达的Pavilion Mall,它就在吉隆坡城中城-武吉免登步行道上。至少在那里,我能感受到亚洲城市的氛围。
不过,和吉隆坡所有高档购物中心一样,这里的一大卖点就是空调很棒,如果你想避暑的话。
