The mall has a link bridge that connects to Hatten Hotel. And you can look for Macdonalds exit entrance to access and walk to the heart of Malacca history & jonker street. When walking during daytime through Melaka the mall provides a cool environment. It was great to see how the large famous brands are located within the same mall next to small local shops. This is an excellent set of malls to get a bunch of stuff for really cheap; for example, I got a few brilliant-looking dresses for just 10 RM (~$2.50 USD)! Check it out to its fullest extent and you can find a great number of deals and sales. It's not the prettiest-looking mall, I agree, but there's so much here,... This megamall is huge & new, as compared to the very old Mahkota Parade across the road. However, the ambience here is not nice. Most shops are local ones. It was rather quiet when we were here. Its a pity it does not maximise it's size & newness to carry the right nor good retail mix to make...

It's the best place to be to avoid the hot weather in malacca. Plenty of shops for you to walk around in and ask restaurants to settle your breakfast/lunch/dinner. Prices of most items are reasonable and some of the restaurant also have wifi so you can check your emails/whatapps when you dine there. The biggest mall in malacca where everything is under one roof. Only one problem- the foodcourt. We wanted to try the famous malacca asam pedas but that turned out to be the worst food I have ever tried in my whole life. I'm not a picky eater but it was just not edible. I don't know why would the stall... Comparable or even better than parkson mall far end finally done. More fashion like cotton on etc. Abit too long in design make it not easy to search for some shop if overshot. Many established branding such as Mango, Akemuichi, Cotton On, and restaurant of all types of cuisine. There is also classic A&W restaurant serving root beer float which is almost extinct in Singapore.
