The entire Camilla kaftan range is on show in the bright, colourful, airy shop, hanging from beams at different heights. The accessories and shoes are also sold here.

The waiting area is super cute, an oversized Arabic / Moroccan daybed with a bright matress and cushions. The sales staff are really helpful and friendly. One star down for the prices!

Honestly, I didn't think it had a lot of good shops in it, I wouldn't come back here to "shop" necessarily, but it is a beautiful space with an indoor/outdoor feel. Although I love "the cheap junk shop" Daiso and would come in again to buy stuff from there. We came in a few times during our stay. My partner forgot to pack his belt so we went looking for a new one. We could not find one at all in this mall, even with all the men specific shops there are. The closest was actually Daiso. They had belts but my man's a bit hefty and they didn't fit. We did watch a movie here and bought supplies in the grocery store and pharmacy in the "underground" level. I did also check out the food court for snacks. Not one place we dined at in this mall wasn't good, so there's that. The little park that the food spaces open up to that is small but lovely with interesting art work and some seating.

Lovely place and easy to get to the busier places of the city.

Antico's has seen many an incarnation since then, but it's always remained a supplier of quality fruit and veg at prices a little on the high side (their housemade salad mix features edible marigolds and violas, if that's any indication of gastronomic clout). Most recently, they've expanded to include a full cured and fresh meat section complete with dangling salami and giant legs of ham waiting to be carved to order. Though produce is always fresh and they stock a range of harder-to-find items - like lamb's lettuce, shimeji mushrooms and Thai eggplants - the prices are just too high to do the bulk of my shopping here. In the deli section, a 200 gram pot of bircher muesli is $6, while a small bag of paella rice is a whopping $10. I will pop in here if I'm after a foodie gift at the last minute, as their range of pantry goods include the aesthetically pleasing Simon Johnson products with walnut oil and tarragon vinegar aplenty.
