    Mahkota Parade: Mahkota Parade - the new shopping empire in Melaka
  • Tip Rating:
  • Updated by mansionion on Jul 9, 2004
  • Melaka Travel Guide
  • Send to a Friend
  • Name of Shop: Mahkota Parade

    With its tagline "New Shopping Empire in Melaka", Mahkota Parade is no doubt the premier shopping mall in the historical city where locals and tourist love to go.

    Located at the mouth of the Malacca River and within the touristy area of Banda Hilir, the large mall offers a variety of fun, food and fashion under one roof. The anchor tenant here is Parkson Grand. Apart from a department store and cineplex, Mahkota Parade is also home to a large amusement centre, bowling alley, foodcourts and many restaurants.

    The mall won the Malaysia Tourism Gold Awards in 1994/95 for Best Shopping Complex when it was merely one year old. However over the years its facilities and services seem deteriorating. Nevertheless, its still the premier shopping mall in Melaka and worth a visit.

    What To Buy: Shirts, shoes, houshold products etc.

    What To Pay: Prices of goods here are more or less about average.

     I agree! Puri is a BEAUTIFUL hotel with a beautiful courtyard - I stayed in another Baba house that was broken up into tiny rooms about 10 years ago but will certainly stay in Puri next time round :-)
