; 1 Jln Imbi; 10am-10pm; monorail Imbi)
Lacking the glitz of
rival malls, Berjaya's mammoth effort is located just south of Bukit Bintang. The Metro-
jaya department store has good deals on clothes and there's a small branch of Borders
bookstore located in the basement. The centre also has a bowling alley, karaoke, cinema
and an indoor theme park.
MALL
PLAZA LOW YAT

; 7 Jln Bintang; 10am-10pm; monorail Imbi)
KL's best IT mall, packed with six
floors of retailers big and small offering deals on laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones,
computer peripherals and accessories. Digital-camera memory cards, card-readers and
portable hard drives are particularly good value. If you can't find what you need here (par-
ticularly electronic parts) then scout around the stalls in nearby
