Just went last weekend. Nice place and does seem to have potential. One downside and a major one I suppose since it is the whole purpose of the shopping mall, lack of shops. A lot are still not open yet. Most people I see are either eating or shopping at Giant.

better than previous UE3 .. at least more tenants than previous 1 ...
notice all the product kinda expensive ... ;(

What kind of products they have there?

you can check on their directory

Went there last saturday.. seems like most of the shops there are selling high end products/furnitures for those with lots of $$$...

no more bowling right?

Definitely better than the old UE3 but not enough good for me.

Viva is good if you want your house to look like the equivalent of an "Amber Chia" aesthetic -- lots of crystal encrusted products (from lighting to rugs to upholstery).

There was an impressive bathroom store... Kohler and fancy stuff like that -- including a gorgeous Phillip Starck section. Plus a very nice Carpentry shop... customisable furniture and fittings with a catalogue of about 20 different types of local wood... (I was quite amazed).

That was the only thing that impressed me lor... besides a few lighting shops with mediocre selections and bad China knock-offs of iconic European designs. The others are to me too 'ah lian' lor... so called 'modern' but in a very iCreative Home way... again, think Amber Chia meets Eric Leong, never towards the definition of "modern" in the Wallpaper* magazine sense I guess...

Rather disappointing but makes for a challenging browse anyway.

Also this isn't a Houz Depot... not many tile/material shops... more towards furniture and accessories lor...

Went there last month to buy ping pong stuff. A lot of shops are not opened yet but I must say, it's quite impressive compared to the old UE3. This is definitely a new hang out place for people from Cheras area. The Star LRT station is also nearby. The shops selling furniture or decorative stuff/soft furnishing are not so bad, come in many range from middle up to higher end. Typical franchised food outlet is there. I think probably if u want to go to this Viva Home, wait for a couple more months, perhaps then more shops will be opened to public. I think this place is trying to mimic Ikano Power Centre which is meant for home furnishing but in a different way

Like your descriptions totally understand what you're getting at.
