About
Malacca's largest shopping mall, the Mahkota Parade is separated from the historical core of Bandar Hilir by a huge green field called the Padang. The complex is a reddish-brown, elongated, multi-storied building met at one end by the posh Hotel Equatorial. Boasting 1.2 million square feet of built-up area, it has dominated the local shopping scene from day one. Anchored by Parkson Grand, a local chain of department stores, it also counts on a large souvenir and handicraft center, a supermarket, a cineplex, a food court, numerous restaurants and cafes, a bowling alley and amusement arcades to draw in the crowds.
