I had tried the Tanoshii Dezato ice cream as shown in the picture (but chocolate flavor). Not bad.

At Damen again. Weekend crowd is decent for a neighborhood mall. Gave some support ate and buy from Adidas shop.

any pict to share

Indeed crowd thr is massive n pack like sardine in d mall.. Havent heard d statement malai no spending n shah alam mall fail in a long time. Many critics have been silenced.

Bro kindly comment on the above statement as last time several usj n pabilion fansi dare say shah alam aeon wont do as well as damen yet damen is d most failed mall from a major mall manager..

Don't recall who has spelt such a statement that SA Aeon won't do well.
Will let the business result speaks for itself.

hahahaha actually we Malaysian like malls...no doubt, all malls have a chance to make it when you OPEN !!! not open then see how !! hahaha

shah alam also has its failure like U5 or something...fuu that one worst.

the part I don't get it with Da men is... they can see summit , main place , one city , empire , subang parade , sunway pyramid and you can actually do the math already what's the ingredient required to make it happen! Yet time and time again they open to struggle !! hahahaha

Aeon at shah alam on the other hand..went for concrete bet! ( my opinion ) they cut and paste the whole mall from Klang bukit tinggi aeon....I mean literally everything even the signage and they add a few upper class tenant... uniqlo,h&M and the living index furniture nailed it !! this is what I call " got do homework" compare to da men...

damen need better access road and better traffic
good walk path from LRT - BRT station then crowed will come

Sorry nexona didn't take pictures today. Crowd was more than yesterday. When I reach car park at 1+ have many cars but surprisingly when leaving at 3+ it's rather empty. Guess most of the crowd were there for lunch.

I don't like the car park exit as you'll need to go through traffic light and then u turn back to jln kewajipan.

Wah still so empty one..

Amid all the responses here, I think yours makes the most sense and substance. I think this is the main problem, DM has no 'pulling' factor for anyone to go there.....when you have a gang of malls surrounding it, why would anyone leave their 'faithful' mall which they are familiar with to go to a place which is still quite jammed and the tenants are a bunch of nobodies? All these new taiwanese shops carry no value IMO, if I'm not familiar with them why would I waste time leaving other malls like Parade, Empire, Pyramid to go to DaMen? No cinema as well.

So far it looks weak, their little 'tricks' like free parking for RM30 purchase and nonsense....it's just not good enough. Unlike many here who seem to post just to 'celebrate' this mall struggling, I genuinely wish DM can succeed since I'm vested in a condo nearby. If DM succeeds, it's only good for the condos around it. But so far it's been very poor and I'm sorry to see the state of DM. They really need to do some big events to get people to become familiar with this place, and for goodness sake, bring in/force a few big reputable brands (which other malls nearby DON'T HAVE) to open up in DM.

I think it is up to whether u willing to earn less or not.

Those big brand come in will occupied big space yet give u peanut rental.

The junction in front summit n going to Giant not good enough? Hate to cross that junction

I recall taking easily 15mins to leave damen n go thru a few traffic lights before heading out of USJ..

Damens rental is SKY HIGH & many brands wont even consider damen for half the rental. Hence u get half baked brands like kutsu kutsu trying to occupy the space to 'try their luck' in the pasar malam in the mall world

damen F&B tenants is OK, it's just that fashion brands are so .....

in the end all the half baked brands are dying badly and the crowd is getting lesser

If dm rental is cheap, reit won't be interested. Half baked or cooked brands doesn't matter, as long as it served the grand objective.

same goes to one city....at the beginning talk big and be so selective of tenants...
this can come and that cannot come...now begging and even free rental also tenants staying away.
the last supermarket went in...less then 3 months 'bungkus'

DM's faith looks very much heading the same with one city path...
bare in mind F&B alone wont make it... one city also full of f&B and yet they don't look bright too..
