The three-block Brutalist edifice with its five-tiered peace pagoda is fascinating in all the right, aimless ways. The well-worn sixties-civic interiors, filled with electrically vivid colors, make-believe bridges and cartoon characters, satisfy that deep nostalgia for shopping malls lurking in the soul of every millennial.
Weekends are so packed there's hardly room to swing a Wii controller. Even on weekday nights, lines form outside the more popular spots in the west end. I'm not qualified to say if the cuisine you'll find is authentic, but I can say with confidence that it is delicious. And really, that's the whole strange humming energy which courses throughout the halls: is it genuine? Maybe - is it good? Yes.
