Many people visit KSL City Mall, in Taman Century (Taman Abad / 世纪花园), for shopping, movies, dining, massage, etc, and will usually spend the entire time inside the air-conditioned shopping mall. Those who are willing to walk out of the mall to explore the rows of shophouses nearby will be rewarded with cheaper and good local food options. There are cozy cafes for premium coffees and traditional bakeries for local products too.
