I Walked Queensbay Mall in 2 Hours!

I finally made my first sojourn to Queensbay Mall last night after it has been opened for over a month. Touted as the biggest shopping mall in Penang, it was definitely impressive in terms of size.

Although there were ample parking spaces available in their multi-story carparks as well as the wide open spaces outside the mall, the typical ugly Malaysian culture of drivers ditching their vehicles anywhere that is convenient is still the order of the day. Parking is still free when I was there as the Autopay system is still not up and running yet :) Free parking was only for the first month after the official opening.

Of course people who know me know that when I shop, I zero in only on items I am looking for that particular time and only visit shops that sell those items, therefore saving time. Guess that's why I managed to recon the whole place in under 2 hours. Can't stand those people who just have to go into every single shop in a mall whether or not they want to buy anything from there.

Am happy to declare that I have finished my shopping for CNY clothes with some comfy clothes for visiting relatives in the hot weather but the majority of purchases were to upgrade my choices of office attire.

All in all, the range of shops in Queensbay Mall was not very impressive except for Borders and Nichii Fashion. Most other shops can be found in any other shopping mall in Penang. However, it's sheer size ensured that the place would not be too packed during the public holidays as opposed to say, Prangin Mall.
