When I think of a typical family mall, Tai Koo Shing mall is the first one that comes to mind.
I used to come here often because I have relatives who live in the Tai Koo complex, so we would always visit the restaurants nearby after visiting.
The mall is quite big! I like it because it has a variety of different types of entertainment facilities, shops for children's, sports, grown ups, movie theatre, ice rink, you name it. I like the gaming store, where it's all kids carnival games! I am old enough, but i still enjoy those games once in a while, brainless, cheap and exciting activity. Speaking of which, I want to visit again soon!
This mall also has a huge food court with every type of cuisine you can think of. I think the food court in this mall is one of the better ones in Hong Kong. I've noticed that there aren't a whole lot of food courts here. This one has Pepper Steak, Singaporean, Western, Vietnamese, etc. etc. You name it, they probably have it.
Aside from these, they also have Apita, which is a more "residential" style department store. What I mean by "Residential", is that they have a supermarket and a huge kitchen department, selling everything from steamers to home appliances, to utensils.
My cousins who live in this complex practically does ALL their shopping for their entire family at this mall, and I assure you, the selection is more than vast. In fact, if i lived here, I would most likely buy everything here as well.
There are also loads of restaurants in the shopping mall/complex area, you will never run out of places to go.
Nice area to stay in for people with young families, it's very family oriented. read more
