When the waiter open up the cover of the pot of Braised Baby Abalone with Dried Seafood Soup, I was like wahhhh, so rich in ingredient yet its double boil. Something to look for and the light smell of it entrails my nose that I just cant wait to get a sip of it.

Deep Fried Canadian Cod with Honey Sauce comes with huge cube of fresh cod and fried well on the outer layer with cod meat is warm inside, that pairs well with the sauce. I didnt enjoy it slowly, I put in the whole cube into my mouth and let it burst with flavour.

Lucky Draws and Giveaways of the Season’s Most Coveted Gadgets

In celebration of the season of giving, SStwo Mall truly brings to life the Christmas festive season with a larger than life Santa’s Toys Outpost built into its Main Atrium and Santa himself, on his motor-sleigh roving around the neighborhoods and local communities bringing festive joy and cheer to young and old alike.

With ‘It’s Almost Home’ as the mall’s motto SStwo has truly made it a season of giveaway for shoppers and visitors to the mall by offering a month’s long worth of festive promotions, free giveaways, weekly lucky draw and a grand prize draw at the mall from now till New Year (please see appendix A for more details).

Mr. Vincent Chong, Director of Operations for Asiamalls Sdn. Bhd. said,

“Christmas is really one of the Mall’s favorite festive seasons and we really wanted to celebrate the essence and excitement of the period with a fun and whimsical take on Santa’s workshop which would excite not the young, but also the inner kids in grown-ups as well. Now’s definitely a great time to look out for our special activities ranging from Santa on his bike – coming around to your neighborhood to spread Christmas cheer or head down to the mall to check out our little outpost.”

He excitedly added,

“More importantly, what really excites us about Christmas is that we’re really taking the opportunity to get into the spirit of giving by running multiple giveaways for our patrons and visitors to the mall from now till New Years! It’s really a Year End bonanza and giveaways that will excite all from young to old.”

Adding on, Mr Chong said:

“We’ve basically purchased the season’s latest Must Haves ranging from the much coveted Samsung Galaxy Note II, six units of the Samsung Galaxy SIII, a Samsung Galaxy Tab Two 10.1 and not to mention, a home entertainment system comprised of a Panasonic 50” Plasma TV, Philips Blu Ray Disc HTS, Sharp Plasma Cluster Air Purifier and a Philips Micro HiFi CD MP3 USB player all for giveaway!”

Mr Chong was on hand to give away the Samsung Galazy SIII to first weekly winner at SStwo Mall’s Lucky Draw. During the prize giving ceremony, Chong Yen Ni, 21, was excited beyond belief at the Christmas present come early for her.

“This was the first time I had entered in a competition so I didn’t think I’d actually win!  I come to the mall as it’s very convenient for me and usually have dinner here with my family.  Having just finished my exam, this is a great Christmas and post-exam treat.  I will definitely be entering in the rest of the contests.”

With one Samsung Galaxy SIII already given out, there still remains a whole slew of prizes up for grabs. All one really needs to do is head down to the mall, grab a bite or shop and fill up an entry form to qualify for one of the many giveaways this season. An ideal spot for special occasions and daily needs, SStwo Mall thrives to bring convenience and comfort in the heart of the Petaling Jaya community.
