I was looking for place to visit at Katong and ended up driving here. The map was saying to park ad Hilton instead but I know there must be a parking in here. I was arriving from the side of the mall and notice there is P sign on the map and entered from there. The guard was telling me to make a turn because there was a big construction truck parked at the lane. They should have closed the entrance except for loading. I made a turn and entered from the front which lead me to the back again just that from the other direction. There was quite a number of parking spots when I visited one Saturday afternoon. The mall is new, still quite a number of unfilled spots inside. Food stalls might be difficult because there are so many food stall just outside the mall on the street. The toilet was stuck and the poop was just lying on the floor inside the toilet, messing around. I didn't really spend time in here and walked outside to see. Ended up walking around few hours around the area and not inside the mall.

Not fully open yet. But looking forward to the some of the exciting tenants i12 is bringing in. The mall feels bigger after the AEI. So nice to have PS. Cafe and Lululemon at Level 1, & Scoop in the basement. Oh, & not forgetting Malaysia Boleh, it was crowded on the day when I visited 👍🏼 (Will update again when more tenants open in the next tranche)

Newly renovated shopping mall at the corner of Joo Chiat and East Coast Road junction. The interior added more Escalators but as of now, only 20-30% occupancy with many shops still not open! Malaysia Boleh Foodcourt is now at the basement together with some other F&B stalls! Wine Connection and a new Japanese restaurant “Ippudo Ramen” both next to each other on the ground level. More F&B outlets on level 2 and level 4 caters more to Learning Centers. Level 5 still retains Golden Village Cinema! Overall it’s more refreshing interior look and sincerely hope this mall could stand its time !

New tenant mix looks pretty similar to the old version and many shops have not reopened yet. Escalator system has improved and makes more sense now. Top floors feel like an education/ tuition hub. Pros - GV is back. New tenants include Core Collective, Climb Central, Green Party, Guzman, Lulu Lemon Cons - No sign of a Toast Box or Yakun with lots of seats: there isn’t an affordable breakfast/ bread outlet like that anymore - all replaced with Prive and PS Cafe. Fun Toast in the basement looks like a small space with few tables.
