Aberdeen Centre Reviews
Rated out of 5
If you are a visitor and interesting what is a modern Hong Kong style Chinese mall looks like, you should not miss this big mall.
I want to remind you about the parking rules and restrictions in the Golden Village area. Read the parking rules when you park your car.
There are a big food court locates in the third floor. You will have lots of choices of Asian food. The food court are big clean with high ceiling. You can sit there comfortably enjoying your food. The prices are still reasonable since you can get one main dish like fried rice, noodles, BBQ pork with rice for about $14.50 up with a free hot drink.
The mall is clean and well kept. The restrooms are enough for their customers even on weekend.
If the food court is not your cup of tea,there are many good restaurants too. Take your time to browse in the mall.
The parking is still a big problem if you go there on weekend. But you can take the sky train getting there, it takes only 5 minutes walk from the Aberdeen Station. You may also explore this area with many Asian malls and restaurants in the same time if you are using public transits.
The Lunar New Year decorations are still there. Sorry I missed the flowers market in the New Year time. It's a perfect place for enjoying the Lunar New Year.

Mall is great and offer plenty of selections. Food court has plenty of selection. However they need to rework the parking lot. You can't get in or find a parking stall. How are you suppose to spend money there.
