This is the shopping mall near my place that I drop by three or four times a week. It has my go-to coffee shop, some great restaurants, and a supermarket. The place is bright, spacious, and cool. In the main hall on the first floor, there’s a grand piano that anyone can play—and there’s almost always someone performing. Just a heads-up though, there’s no restroom on the first floor.

Bought some buns and the egg tarts at Honolulu Cafe. I personally loved the egg tarts. Not too sweet, and the flaky crust was perfect. The buns were also good but honestly not something that I would get addicted to. Maybe I could try the other baked goodies and the meals there soon.
