| - I love First Markham Place! Not just because I live practically right next to it, but because their asian food court is one of the best in Toronto (voted #1 chinese food court in Toronto area for several years).
Like many food courts, some come and go. But you can always count on each stall having a huge selection and wide variety of asian food (Cantonese, Vietnamese, Western-Chinese, Thai, Hunan, Taiwanese, etc). I had a friend who owns 88 Express (postal outlet) and says that rent is pretty expensive there. Thankfully the price of food there is still cheap to be competitive. Being an Asian food court, the food stalls are all open till 8 or 9pm every day of the week including Sundays, and closed during a non-peak weekday (usually a Monday or Tuesday).
Oh, and I have boy-cotted the Taiwanese stall because they gave my mom bad soy milk and ripped me off in change many years ago.
There are other snack places on one side of FMP including a relatively new one that has freshly made beef/pork jerky (yummy!).
Comparing to Pacific Mall, I would say there are less stores, but a different selection of food court stalls (no more thai food at Pac Mall for example).
I come here very often. Has everything I need except for a TD Bank branch (they have China Bank ... LOL!) and a Canada Post outlet (they have these just down the street at Hwy7/Warden). Note that parking can be a pain sometimes during peak hours (weekends and weekday lunch time).
Although I come here mostly for the food court, there are other notable shops including an official Rogers dealer (AmCall) and Wind Mobile.
