You'll also find amazing restaurants, bars and clubs as well as shopping venues and entertainment.

For shopping, check out the Super Brand Mall, which is a western-style and design mall complete with food and endless boutique shops. The Nextage Department Store is the inverse, with larger shops and more Asian approach to shopping.
