Yes you read it right. I lived in the suburbs of USJ/Subang Jaya for years and not once did we get anything remotely more exciting than Parkson Grand. When I leave for the bright lights of the big city of KL, all sorts of upmarket things pop up in that corner of town… like a full fledged Coach store!
I found myself down at Empire Shopping Gallery last night to keep an appointment, and despite the heavy traffic and the fact I was coming in from KL I actually got there earlier than expected. Haah! Take that you who had to work late :P
Anyway while walking around, I spotted the hoarding and as luck would have it, there was a gap, big enough for me to snap a quick spy picture of the new Coach store at Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya. It was mostly up and operational inside so I think the boards should be down now. Just in time for Christmas too! :D
I haven’t had time off to trawl malls in a very long time so when I did have time last night, I trawled! Picked me up a little something too :D
Nothing very big LOL! While I was there, I stopped by the Kiehl’s store to test out their new Soy Milk and Honey Whipped body butter (which I disliked because it smelt of coconut).
I did end up picking up a few items like the Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner mini sizes. They are having a RM10 off every RM100 purchase till the end of 2010 so its a good time to pick up that Midnight Recovery Concentrate, I can tell you! And don’t forget to ask for samples :D
And of course the reason I was there – to have dinner :P Tried out Lameeya which I’d never tried before. Food was decent but service was abysmal. Boo.
Oh and because its Christmas, here’s the Christmas centerpiece for Empire Shopping Gallery.
It never ceases to amaze me, how much effort goes into these things. Soon it’ll be all red, in time for Chinese New Year! :D
So folks in Subang Jaya/PJ/Shah Alam – are you chuffed to find a Coach store at your doorstep? :D

I guess so… I’m not rich enough:( hahaha… my mom loves to walk into The Garden’s outlet everytime we pass by… lol… There’s gonna be another outlet in Pyramid~~~ It’s in the old wing, opposite Starbucks… They took over Winter Warmers…
I don’t really like the Lam mee at that shop… I’m really glad that there’s Madam Kwan’s!! Hahaha… Now all I want is a Delicious outlet here~~~
Aww always remember that window shopping is free ;) I’m not too much a fan of Coach since the new loud prints but their leather stuff are still decent. I thought the Lam Mee was decent – Nothing super nice but not crap either. Not a fan of Madam Kwans hence my visiting Lameeya LOL!
Empire has definitely turned into my favorite mall. I’m glad they have changed some of the earlier stores and placeholder booths into actual good stores. It’s definitely a classier mall, even La Bodega restaurant has opened a branch here. They just need a Guardian or Watson’s!
When I went on Friday evening at 9pm the whole mall was buzzing with long wait lines for all the restaurants. Thought I spotted you there at The Loaf and one of the restaurants further down too :D
Oh yeah! I saw La Bodega but decided not go eat there. And you might have seen me – who knows eh? ;)
i got excited to see the new coach store. it looked amazing
word has it that the sunway one is due to open on xmas eve. cant wait!
Haha Subang is so upmarket now – unrecognizable :P
