Festival Walk @ Ipoh Garden East

The grow at Ipoh Garden East seems to be continuously promising in recent years. Apart from more double storey shop lots being introduced, several projects of high rise condominium are kicked off. And this is a latest shopping arcade that opened to public recently, the Festival Walk. Although the architecture of the building had been changed, or downgraded, Festival Walk turns out to be potentially another hot spot that gathered with restaurant, boutique & lounge. Nevertheless, the main corridor at middle of the arcade is still seen empty & quiet even during this Christmas day. Anyway, I am optimistic about its future because the commercial value of this area is maintain at up trend.
