Empty Malls - Mid Valley Megamall & IOI City Mall

A day before the official 2nd lockdown, i went to IOI City Mall for my final dine-out lunch.
It was much quieter than usual though the supermarket were crowded with 'panic shoppers'...
Here's the almost empty skating ring...very peaceful and quiet
Meanwhile in Mid Valley megamall during Friday noon....plenty of parking spots....
Most restaurants were near empty...This was a few days after the COVID19 cases reported in some of the shops there
I did not dine in, but ordered take-aways from Burger King
Look at that empty corridor....usually this place is packed with diners during lunch hour
The Centre Court was empty too....i can easily count the people that passed by....
This place that i used to dine in....but now i think twice
This was the decoration since 2 months ago...i guess they will reuse this decor for upcoming Deepavali  too. It is so rare to see no one on every floor (when this picture was taken)
I went on to buy the premium butter cake from Jaya Grocer...
At RM12.90, the taste is much better than Lavender...
I will try the marble cake next....

Good that you like Jaya Grocer butter cake. If really want to dine in, better sit at outdoor seats where air circulation is good. This is recommended by an online news article.

The malls in Klang Valley will become ghost towns. I hope the pandemic will send our present government out by the backdoor.

Libby: SG is sort of fully recovered from the pandemic, as there is no local cases.

Mun: will take precaution when decided to dine-in, thanks for the article.

Twilight Man: hope so!

Rather sad looking at the empty malls. Time isn't good now. I miss going to malls looking at their decoration.

Shangri-la Hotel, Orchard Road, SG

Posting some pictures of Shangri-la hotel SG. It is located on Orange Grove Road, just off Orchard Road, in a quieter, more residential area...
