This is the area where we are suppose to collect our race pack. After collecting our race pack. We still have sometime before the hotel is ready for check-in (2pm). So We took the opportunity to walk around the mall as well as also to have lunch here.
One look at this mall, and you will find it rather different from the traditional mall in Singapore. Here this mall resemble those in larger countries like UK and US where their mall are super long. The mall stretches to 500m. The mall open some 3 years ago in Dec 2006.
The mall spans some 5 floors high including 1 floor at the basement. There is even a cinema at the top floor, called Golden Screen Cinema. Most shop are still not open when we walk the area. As it is almost 12pm , we were rather hungry.
Came across this interesting Concept Restaurant model after the "Toilet Bowl" Concept. I have seen this kind of restaurant on TV before, and since haven't really tried it before....decided to give it a try.
It's a Toilet Concept Restaurant where the seat are all Toilet bowl, and also a better looking one...
Table are design with a wash basin with a glass on top as a table top...Different colour toilet bowl seats help make the restaurant stay lively...
Though the place is not very big...it still manages to accommodate a fairly large amount of seats and table though walking around the restaurant is rather tight though
Food are all serve in miniature toilet bowls.....although the food is only average....and is not cheap as well, but the interesting concept make going to this restaurant worthwhile....I like it's concept.

Overall, the shopping mall is rather large but I felt that it was located in a very "ulu" part of the island. It's not even in the Town, Georgetown, The Capital of Penang. It's also very near the airport. The Penang Bridge however is only minutes away. A Much more well connected transport network would help business. Shops are typical, nothing out of the ordinary though I notice some special hobby shop on the top floors. Spotted a Bodyglove shop which can only be found here in Malaysia, I don see them in Singapore....(Spend around 80MYR here).
After which, we board a cab outside the mall for ~30MYR to Tune hotel in Georgetown.....(Seriously wondering whether we are being con here as cab in Penang don run on meter...)
