| - I can't believe I haven't wrote a review for Pacific Mall yet. This place is like my backyard. I have been coming here since 1997 when it used to be half empty. Now it's always packed especially on the weekends. This is your ONE STOP SHOP for everything Asian. Like, everything. Really.
As a long time Pacific Mall (aka pmall) insider, there are some dos and don'ts to note about this place.
DO:
- get bubble tea! Or fresh fruit juice! Lots of independent and chain tea shops here. Most of them are decent. When in doubt, look for places with long lines. The crowd is usually right. OR, you can ask me :) I think I've tried every tea shop in this mall.
- eat in the food court upstairs. Cheap and delicious Chinese / Asian food. Lots of choices ranging from noodles, fried rice, Japanese, Singaporean, Vietnamese, to dim sum, and Chinese bbq. If you need more choices, head next door to Market Village. You won't run out of options.
- browse and compare cell phones, wireless providers and accessories. Every major wireless provider is here and you can easily compare and find the best plan for you. Ask for deals. They have lots of deals because Asians love a good deal! Lots of stores with cute cell phone accessories! Also the place to go if you want to unlock your phone.
- get your car stuff and electronic stuff and computer stuff. As you can tell, I don't know much about these "stuff" but I know from my friends that this is the place to go to get these "stuff" for a good deal.
- come here for your Asian fashion needs. Lots of clothing stores with various styles from Chinese traditional gowns, party dresses, to anime costumes, street fashion, and the latest trends in Asia.
- and of course, do ASK if they have any specials available. For example, many places will waive tax if you pay cash, or give you a discount if you buy more than one or more than two. They may not always tell you so it's good to ask.
DON'T:
- buy something without checking out a few stores. Usually more than one store carries the same item and you'd think they offer it at the same price but sometimes there's a huge price difference. I once found a hair clip for $15 at one store and $40 at another store and they were totally identical.
- expect you are getting the real deal if you're buying something branded. It doesn't matter if it's a designer bag, jewellery, sunglasses or even ginseng. I'm not saying everything's fake, but I'm saying beware. Even if the owner says they're the real deal, you be the judge. I've heard too many stories.
