Opening Gurney Plaza New Wing

Since it’s a long day work today, so we both decided to go for a walk right after our dinner. And, I heard it’s Gurney Plaza’s new wing opening, so we both just thought of walking around and see what are the new shops open.

First shop that I had eyed on it was Eclipse, local designer Sonny San’s brand name. A shop where you can find nice shoes, nice hand bags and petite size dresses, blouses, and so on.

Followed by Braun Buffel, a reknown leather bags shop. And many other more like MNG, Hush Puppies, Lacy Lace, etc.


Many shopping malls have put up the Christmas decoration, this is my first mall that had visited so far. Of course comparing this to KL shopping mall like 1 Utama or Mid Valley, Penang shopping mall can never bid them. If the excuse was spacious, well Queensbay Mall is spacious enough, unfortunately they do not have the idea or talent to put up a nice and attractive deco like Mid Valley Mega Mall. Gurney Plaza’s Christmas deco is too ordinary and nothing to shout about.

Parkson has also done their renovation inconjuction with the new wing opening too. It's bigger in terms of brand name products, 2nd floor is a joint between the old wing and new wing. It's good to walk around with so many stuff.

Anyway, this post is just merely to share the Gurney Plaza new wing.

I disagree to some extent.
Pretty unfair if you compare both malls. Gurney Plaza was built on a prime land, of which the property prices are expensive, even in comparison to 1 Utama or Mid Valley.

If you look at the factors on why Queensbay Mall could not have the design to impress, etc. It was built in the 90s and the discontinue the project due to the Asian Financial Crisis.

KL have a huge population, which of course is sustainable, Penang Island has a mere 700k population, and by having such classy up trendy mall, there shouldn't be any grumbles already...maybe even better than half of the malls in KL.
