I am surely one extremely ignorant Petaling Jaya citizen to only just realise that my good old hangout joint will soon be a pile of rubble. I practically grew up living in that mall (literally).
Jaya Supermarket happens to be the first shopping complex in PJ (goly!) and was THE place where my father would drag our family to for grocery shopping (back when Cold Storage was still affordable), toy hunting (remember Kathy's Toys? Gosh, that was my haven!), book hunting (my love of books was nurtured there) and then Daddy would spend hours in the music store listening to oldies. During my teens a lot of shops had changed. Of course, by then Jaya was pretty much cursed with ever-changing tenants. Except for Cold Storage (well, duh), the watch shop and the DIY shop which were covered in the news article.
Lemme see.. There was this quaint CD shop when I was 16 where I bought my first Luna Sea album after saving up my pocket money (the cashier was gaping at all the coins and RM1 notes). There used to be The House of Chicken Rice with yummier nasi ayam than Chicken Rice Shop's.. And what about Delifrance? Secret Recipe? Oh, and Famous Amos Cookies which I'd stare at longingly as a little girl.
Boy oh boy, those were the days.
It's said that the replacing slab of concrete will be housing a cineplex. Ooh.. GSC? TGV? Sounds too good to be true. Haha.. Maybe
