Thoughts: KL's Sunway Putra Mall is much busier today compared to the last visit in July (2.5 months ago). And most if not all of the restaurants are already opened for Dine-in.

雙威布特拉廣場 Sunway Putra Mall was previously know as "美達廣場 The Mall" which opened in 1987 (not the oldest Mall). And I believe the oldest Mall could be 安邦購物中心 Ampang Park which opened in the early 1970s, initially planned to be fully air-conditioned, but as built, the atrium was cooled via natural cross-ventilation. 安邦購物中心 Ampang Park was closed for good after almost 45 years of operation on 31 December 2017, where the location was demolished to make way for 吉隆坡捷運地鐵二期 MRT2 project (I think).

Another Iconic Mall (maybe now the oldest and still standing strong) is 武吉免登 Bukit Bintang's 金河廣場 Sunway Wang Plaza which opened also in the 70s. 金河 Sunway Wang went through at least 3 if not 4 major renovations throughout its 44+ years since its opening in 1977. For older generation, it is one of their favorite places to visit in the 70s and 80s, with 7 levels of retails floors including shopping, food, entertainment, and big screen cinemas. 

Today's coffee break is the rm$13.80 "甜香草奶油冷萃咖啡 Vanilla sweet cream Cold Brew" at Starbucks, Sunway Putra Mall. The cold brew comes with combination of vanilla, cream, and coffee with touch of fruity flavors. Overall, an enjoyable cold brew from Starbucks!

Thoughts: It is probably 2 or more years not stepping into KL. Around 3pm driving to KL was a breeze except for a police road block at the borders of PJ to KL. The road block was o check for cross-district travel permits due to the Covid-19 lock-down.

Parking at Sunway Putra Mall was also easy, except for patrons at the Food Court (Market Place) at the LG level, other parts of the Mall were quiet. It is good that the Mall stationed many security guards (maybe police) at various entry points to check the mySejahtera status before entry.

Empire Sushi have at least 50 kiosk (in Malls) in West Malaysia and while Bungkus Kaw Kaw has maybe 16 kiosk in malls around Klang Valley. You can find these 2 at Sunway Putra Mall's Market Place at the Lower Ground level, the food court houses quite a few food and beverage options including KFC, Secret Recipe, Sukiya, Simple Life, Absolute Thai, Burger King, Chicken Plus, Nando Chiken, Kenny Rogers, Sushi King, Mr. Dakgalbi, Manhattan Fish Market etc. 

Looks like Empire Sushi offers ready-made single piece sushi from rm$1.10 to rm$3+, also available are 飯糰 Onigiri (rm$4.20) and 手券 Hand-Rolls (rm$4.50). Today's snacks sushi choices were not too bad, taste and looked fresh despite being ready-made.
