I decided to visit 1 Utama Shopping Centre ; which is Malaysia largest shopping mall. The mall is located at Bandar Utama City Centre which is quite a distance from Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

As usual, I took the MRT train to Bandar Utama MRT station. Now there is a connecting walkway from the Bandar Utama MRT station to 1 Utama Shopping Centre. It is a long walkway with left and right turn. It seems complicated but if you follow the directions given, you will be able to reach the mall easily.

1 Utama Shopping Centre – Lots of bench & seats

One interesting thing is that you have to pass through the One World hotel lobby before reaching 1 Utama Shoppping Centre. If you lost your direction in the hotel lobby; just seek help from the staff at the hotel. They will direct you to the shopping mall.

6 levels of shops at 1 Utama Shopping Centre

The 1 Utama Shopping Centre is a huge mall. I had spend about 3 hours walking around the mall and yet had not completed browsing through the entire mall. The mall has 6 retail levels and it has everything you need – many many shops, supermarket, cinemas, food outlets, specialty stores and even a roof top garden.

The wonderful thing about this mall is that there are plenty of bench and seats available. You need to rest your tired feet after all the walking. My impression of this place is that there is so much to see and do but have limited time. I am contemplating of staying in One World hotel for 1 or 2 nights so that I can able to window shop at this mall in a leisurely manner.

Out of interest and curiosity, I decided to make a trip to KWC Fashion Mall which stands for Kenanga Wholesale City. Again I took the LRT train to Hang Tuah LRT station and then navigated and walked to the mall.

Walk to KWC Fashion Mall. Old blocks of flats

Let me recollect and give anyone interested in visiting this place – a Walking Guide to KWC Fashion Mall. After you get out of Hang Tuah LRT station, you will see two main roads. Walked towards blocks of old flats with the vehicles going the same direction as you walk. The LRT track is above you. Continued walking till you see this building called Balai Bomba Dan Penyelamat. There is a small ( minor) road; just turn left and keep walking.

Walk to KWC Fashion Mall – Rows of flats and food kiosks opposite as you walk

You will see rows of shops selling clothes; coffee shops, sundries stores, etc. Opposite the road, you can see small food kiosks and rows of flats. Again keep walking until you are reaching the end of the road. Looked out for a tall white building – you won’t missed it as it is the tallest building there. That white building is the KWC Fashion Mall. It took me 15 minutes to walk from Hang Tuah LRT station to KWC Fashion Mall.

There are many stores in the KWC Fashion Mall selling all types of clothes. I noticed that the majority of the shops sell ladies clothes rather than Men’s clothing. So for ladies, this place is for you. You can also get fashion accessories such as belts, wallets, bags, shoes, costume jewellery, fashion T-shirts, children and babies clothing, etc.

If you are hungry, there are fast food as well as many food outlets nearby. I noticed that some shops allowed bargaining of prices, some shops insist on fixed prices; and there are other shops that require a minimum price purchases. Just ask the sales staff before buying.
