Wel­come to a New Retail Beginning

The Spring Kuching Website“The Spring Shop­ping Mall” in Kuch­ing was the sec­ond (and the biggest) shop­ping mall in Kuch­ing which open to pub­lic on the 10th Jan­u­ary 2008. I missed the whole load of fun dur­ing the open­ing if not I’ll be the silly reporter cov­er­ing the events *laugh* Any­way, Kuch­ing is now offi­cially the shop­ping haven des­ti­na­tion for all the Sarawakian and the sur­round­ing coun­try! (Brunei & Indone­sia). I know a friend’s cousin travel by car — all the way from Bin­tulu to Kuch­ing today to add more traf­fic jam to the mall.

The Spring Shopping Mall KuchingFor now “The Spring Shop­ping Mall” is the largest shop­ping mall in Sarawak but for the next one or two year, Boule­vard Shop­ping mall will take the crown once again. They already have plans in the pipe line to make Boule­vard Kuch­ing Shop­ping Mall as gigan­tic as pos­si­ble and promise great fam­i­lies hang out place with all in one roof theme park, shop­ping and movies. Some­thing like that *smile*

With this gigan­tic shop­ping mall, I do like to see more tourists enjoy their time in Kuch­ing, Sarawak. The Spring Shop­ping Mall reminds me of Aus­tralia Fair dur­ing my visit to Gold Coast Aus­tralia early 2007. This is no sur­prise to any one who has vis­ited Aus­tralia or New Zealand because the com­pany that makes this design pos­si­ble was from New Zealand!

I can tell that this RM150 Mil­lion project is no non-sense project, the fin­ish­ing of this build­ing, the time they took to decide the build, the orig­i­nal­ity, and the most impor­tant — patrons expe­ri­ence & per­cep­tion of “Shop­ping in Kuch­ing” was so 101% “cal­i­brated”! I’m so impress and I just can’t wait to step into this build­ing the next thing on the week­end! Check out The Spring Web­site, they leave you noth­ing but a pro­fes­sional fam­ily touch! I like the col­ors and the flora & fauna concept!

The cur­rent hype is mostly cre­ated by Park­son Grand, with full page news ads, Hitz.fm ads and bunting hang­ing at the lamp-post for few months along sim­pang tiga and Kuch­ing bypass are surely cre­ated lot of heat! Have you been to Pavil­ion, KL? Not sure if you would agreed, com­par­ing the two Park­son The Spring is the sec­ond grand­est after Park­son Pavil­ion. The only dif­fer­ent is Pavil­ion Park­son is super high class as they (KL peo­ple) claims.

Doing any­thing this week­end? Want to jam the road together? Want to catch the Red Hot hour with spe­cial deals? So be at The Spring at the right time and at the right place!

Park­son The Spring offers Free Dis­count vouch­ers, 5x bonus link points and I assume credit card is accepted since Pub­lic Bank free RM10 Park­son Voucher with pur­chase above RM120!

    Cherry,

    hahahha “ask you to walk with me you don’t want” “See, you had less shop­ping now?” haha­ha­hah kid­ding… I think The Spring was indeed a great shop­ping mall! I was blown away by it because I feel like I’m in KL or Aus­tralia. :) So glad that Kuch­ing finally has it own shop­ping destination.

    The last thing I hate to see (if it hap­pens) are peo­ple start­ing loi­ter­ing and make the whole place drop it stan­dard. On the bright side, Boule­vard & The Spring does cre­ated lot of oppor­tu­ni­ties (both shopa­holics & jobs) for the local.

    Go there today! (ask your sis­ter to bring you together while she is “paktoh-ing” hahahaha

    Cheers & hugs

    I love so much the place of The Spring, every­time i pass by or go into it, i feel that The Spring has took me to KL, that’s the only place in Kuch­ing makes me feel that. But the only thing that makes me very unhappy is, why those peo­ple like so much to trow coints into the water foun­tern ? it makes the place looks dirty, and for­eign peo­ple will say that we are rub­bish cre­ater. Come on those peo­ple, The Spring is belongs to pub­lic, don’t make your­self at your own home too much, please please please and please.

    throw­ing coins into a water foun­tain is super­sti­tion… its sup­posed to bring you luck if you throw a coin into a water fountain..i am a for­eigner i would know..no one will think that its rub­bish.. heck.. they might even throw their own coins in the fountain…

    You are right about throw­ing coins is a super­sti­tion. If I visit a Chi­nese Bud­dha tem­ple I would do the same. I have not tried throw­ing my own coins to the new water foun­tain in the shop­ping com­plex, it could be fun hehehe! Maybe bet­ter luck too!

    Thanks for your val­ued comment!

    unfor­tu­nately The Spring don’t have LV just yet! I do sug­gest you buy LV in Sin­ga­pore though.… Cheaper.

    Let’s hope in the future Kuch­ing have LV shop :) (not very likely soon) I would buy a wal­let and belt ;)

    ^.^ can’t wait to see the spring… Sadly i won’t stop by kuch­ing when i return to mukah from kl…

    hmm… i think say­ing the spring will bring kl to kuch­ing is a quite an over­state­ment. but i myself is not there (at the spring) so i don’t know. How­ever i do respect the ambi­tion. Hope kuch­ing will become the com­mer­cial cen­tre of all bor­neo (and within my life­time)! \(^o^)/

    i hope the catz (org2 kuch­ing) is ready for such a thing, or it will become a city that i know which crum­bles under such a change.

    I heard there’s a SUB out­let there. I’m so excited! I will always know where to find din­ner clothes when i need one ^.^

    Go KUCHING!!!!!

    Hello Archdemon20,

    Per­son­ally I think the Spring does live up to his name :) Kuchin­gites so far has indeed ben­e­fited from it.

    Yes, SUB is @ the Spring. I bought 2 cloth there :)

    Just for your info, you might be inter­ested to know that the this com­ing 2 to 3 month we will have a very grand cine­plex here at the spring. I heard they invested some 7 mil­lions to the whole cineplex.

    So be sure to visit Kuch­ing Soon :)

    Boule­vard Shop­ping Mall really has noth­ing inter­est­ing to show, their just open­ing 4th floor looks noth­ing spe­cial to me (may be to oth­ers too), it just looks like an ordi­nary hard­ware shop even it’s much big­ger. Noth­ing is sur­pris­ing there. I also notice that many shops and some famous fran­chises can’t even sur­vive there for a year, they are closed already, very sad !! Now, even more noth­ing spe­cial there, a bor­ing shop­ping mall. I think Boule­vard will never make same stan­dard like tHe Spring do. Why ?

      Hi Jason!

      Boule­vard tar­get­ing low and mid­dle income group patrons. I do not think expen­sive brand would last. How­ever, you shouldn’t be too sad about it though. Boule­vard sec­ond phrase would brings more joy to every one! I hope you would like it when the shop­ping com­plex completed.

      Thanks for com­ment­ing :)

      Hello TH,

      I’m excited to see you drop by my blog! I don’t really go to the mall for shop­ping. I don’t think guys love to do that hahah­haha… I go to mall only when I really need a new cloth­ing. Kuching’s Mall is not as super packed like the one in KL and PJ, still I com­plain bor­ing *LOL*

      one excep­tion though, if the mall has plainty of com­puter and gad­get, I can never say no to that!

      haha­haha
