Connected to Petronas’ Twin Towers is the
Suria KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre), one of the biggest
malls in Southeast Asia. The bright, crescent-shaped six-level structure features over 200 shops (including Tiffany’s), three department stores, movie theatres, and a monster food court with over 1,500 seats. I felt like I was in a really
nice mall back home, because the prices were just as expensive – if not more. Except for the food, that is – it was ridiculously inexpensive. A huge plate of
Indian food cost me roughly $2.50. I also had a snow cone (under a dollar), and a couple of glasses of fresh- squeezed watermelon juice for $1 each. There was even an
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, a common sight in American airports, except here the prices were two-thirds lower. Outside the mall, a 50-acre park offers water fountains, a kiddy playground and a jogging track. The entire complex, including the towers, is owned by
Petronas (short for Petroliam Nasional Berhad), a Malaysian government-owned oil and
gas company that operates in 31 countries (and has deep pockets).
