The Return: New Komtar, Pacific

Today I went to new Komtar with family, to have a look of the newly opened Pacific supermarket in Komtar, Georegetown. Coming back to this place was full of memory.

Looking 10-15 years back, my parents used to bring us here to shopping in the weekends. During that time, Komtar was the most happening place, crowded, full of people everywhere. Throughout the years, Komtar became quiet, worsened and finally stopped business for many years. This was mostly due to the opening of new shopping places like Gurney Plaza, Queensbay, Tesco etc.

Now the new Komtar comes back, opens right before the festival season and chinese new year, can it shines bright like before? we will see :)

The entrance at groundfloor facing main road

'GeorgeTown' white coffee, opens beside the main entrance

Pacific Bakery, offering variety of choices for customers

The beautiful christmas decoration outside the supermarket

Walking down the corridor reminds me of the olden days..
the floor has been renovated

Remember the McDonald at the corner?
Used to be the busiest restaurant, before it was closed..

Looks familiar? the center of the Komtar outlets

Used to sit here when eating McD ice-cream :)

The door, the wall, still telling us the story throughout the years..

Let KOMTAR returns like before, shining bright as the tallest building in Penang!
