I recommend visiting it and checking it out. The food court also has some really good options such as Thai Express, Real Fruit Bubble Tea, KFC, A&W, etc. My favourite stores to go to at this mall is Winners, Miniso, and Showcase. What's also really cool is that they have Stuffy Riderz! Which is something that you pay to ride a stuffy animal around the mall. They also do have an arcade which is cool that I recommend checking out.

Some amazing tacos or some Trinidadian food is also my favorite, drop by if you're in the area I think this place is really underrated.

I saw this Yelp listing recently. I've been here a handful of times…read more My first experience was with my parents. I was in grade 12. Somehow, we got word that taking photos here would be great. The tip was a good one. When you first drive over to this centre, you can't miss the gateway. It's red with gold accents. I just learned that it doesn't have a single nail in it. The gateway is made of timber. Wooden studs keep everything in place. My mom brought her manual camera with a massive lens to take distant shots. It took her what felt like forever to take photos of us. As patient as I am, I looked extremely unhappy in one of her shots. This centre has a dragon wall. It's there as a form of protection. There are nine dragons on this wall. I like the sculptures, garden, and mini pond in this area. It's nice to admire everything before going shopping! I returned last year since my first visit as a teenager. I was here to enjoy snacks and soft serve from Xe Kem. A Yelp experience introduced me to this place. I've been back a few times since. A few doors down is the entrance to the food court. I have flagged visiting it, but I haven't had a chance to return. Luckily, this centre isn't too far away from work. Tung Hing Bakery is also here. Technically, it's closer for me to get my baked goods fix here after work. I am hoping that it has banh mi and siu baos like its other locations around the greater Toronto area. I should return and check out the other businesses, like Al Premium Food Mart and Sushi Omigoto. There's lots to discover. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. I've been fortunate to have nabbed parking spots whenever I've been here. It's other drivers who can't park for beans that you need to take care. (372)

Our preferred vendors included QQ Noodle King, Go Curry, Chloe's Convenience, Hi Anna's Basket, Shark's Fin City, and Prairie Lamb Kabob. This mall has something for everyone. Check them out!

So yeah, just how much do you like your Japanese toys, and how much do you really want to pay for…read moreit? And is it really Japanese that you are looking for? It'll depend on your upbringing. I grew up amongst the Sogo 崇光, Mitsukoshi (三越), Yaohan (八佰伴), AEON and Seibu (西武) and had access to some really quality Japanese toys of the Showa (昭和) period. Did I grew up in Japan? No, I grew up in Hong Kong, and all I really wanted back then was a decent diecast KMB bus, the one that ran outside my childhood home on Jordan Road. I might've looked at all the Tomicas and Gundams, but none of those things really captured my imagination. That's why my parents bought me Legos instead. Fast forward to today. See, when your $dayjob have you run IT operations for a mid-sized company, you need a hobby that would help you majorly de-stress. For me, that implies building model kits, Lego sets, or travel. Oh, even better if it helps you remember your Hong Kong roots. I might run my plarail train sets, but those are MTR Plarail sets exclusive to HK. It also helps to have a wife who are understanding of your stress shedding hobby (she also love Re-ments). On the way to Toronto we made a stop in Mitsuwa (the US successor to Yaohan) in New Jersey and picked up a few Re-ments and F-Toys trade models before heading north. Me and the missus were driving around Markham looking at the mostly mediocre Chinese malls out there (seriously, how many travel agencies, herbal shops, restaurants, cellphone stores and "Korean" clothing stores do you really need?) during the snowstorm 2 weeks ago, and we came across Langham square, which is this kinda-premium shopping mall complete with free indoor parking (my wife loved that) and a T&T Supermarket, which was in total contrast to the other malls like Splendid China Tower (totally misnamed), which didn't even bother to shovel their parking lot. Maybe the name references the large snow bank walling up their parking lot on Steeles Street East. So why are local Chinese owned malls so keen to crib names from their more famous Hong Kong equivalents? Langham square was named after Langham place, which is this kinda-stylish vertical shopping mall that was located in the heart of Kowloon (fun fact: it was built by Hong Kong's infamous Urban Renewal Authority in an attempt to kill off the nearby Portland street red light district and gentrify the area - totally didn't work). This one was slightly different in that the area features some rather nice premium condos nearby (so if you came from the transit-shopping-podium-condo tower indoor complexes of Hong Kong's upper middle class, man, is this home-like to you). The mall features some of the same we saw all over Markham, while other stuff just seem like it can only exist here at this mall. A tax attorney. An IT consultant. The Markham equivalent of BlueRibbon (pre-prepped meals aiming towards a Cantonese palate). A maid agency. A social club. This seems a little more tailored towards the Crazy Asian Rich. And then my wife pointed out an anime store - those are a dime a dozen, probably selling some fake Pokemon merch painted in garish colors straight from Shenzhen. "Babe, this one is carrying TinyHK merchandise". WAIT, WHAT? So there are only 1 other place that I am aware that would sell you TinyHK diecast cars and models. It belongs to a shop that sells Airsoft guns located on the 2nd floor of Pacific Mall's "Culture walk" (or as I call it, Stereotype Central). I already bought an F-Toys model from them, and I was a bit put off by the owner's non-existent customer service skills. "Hi, may I help you?" Whoa. Is that the TinyHK mushroom hawker center model? And the price isn't too overly ridiculous (Canadian dollars, taxes included). See, I order TinyHK merch directly from HK, but the shipping is fairly atrocious. This store will sell me Tomicas and TinyHK diecast vehicles for a few bucks. "Hey, here's our card. If you order more than 100 USD we'll ship it stateside for free". Score and paydirt. So yeah, the quick and the easy - its a small storefront that is part-time staffed, they carry Tomicas, Re-ments and are an authorized TinyHK retailer. They also sell some other figurines, plushies and toys straight from Japan (so you won't see the same BS as all the other anime stores in Markham). Decent selection, pricing isn't too bad, and if you are a Honkie nerd (like me) you'll pretty much know what you're looking at and how much you want to buy. Definitely a stopover if you collect TinyHK or want that piece of collective memory from Hong Kong in your home. Seriously, they should just call this place "Yaohan". Us old school Honkies will totally get that.

Muji is a Japanese store that brings simplicity, quality, and functionality to all aspects of…read moreliving. Their offering ranges from home goods, clothes, and stationery. In terms of clothes, there are some good basics pieces and they're often cheaper than Uniqlo with similar or better quality. Some of it is a lot more Japanese in nature so the cuts and styles may be a bit different than what you're used to. They offer really great storage solutions for small to large sized items, with the containers being aesthetic as well. Way better than the stuff from Amazon. They have a lot of smaller sized boxes that are great for storing makeup and other toiletries. They also come in a bunch of different sizes and are somewhat modular so you can mix and match based on your needs. I love that the containers can fit into the lids because they have half and quarter sized ones. They carry a toiletries brand called Public Goods that has a lot of no nonsense stuff that doesn't have a lot of additives in it and is refillable. It can be more expensive than other green alternatives though. They often have in-store deals. At the time that I went, you could get a face towel for a cheaper price if you spent over a certain amount.

Tip: It's a mixed indoor-outdoor mall with lots of eateries…read more I recently visited Swiss Chalet to pick up a takeout order. This eatery was located at Meadowvale Town Centre, which is a mixed indoor-outdoor mall. Swiss Chalet isn't connected to the indoor mall. It makes sense, as this eatery stays open well past the mall's closing time. Next door to Swiss Chalet is Jersey Mike's Subs. Technically, it is a part of the indoor part of the mall. However, when you're in the mall itself, it says to come outside to enter the eatery. It's probably not the best setup when it's frigid outside, which was the case when I visited. However, when it's warm, walking outdoors isn't as taxing. I checked out Your Dollar Store with More. It's only accessible inside the mall. It's a decent dollar store. It doesn't have as many food items and snacks as I had hoped, though. I saw Metro while I was at the mall. It's accessible from the mall and externally. I had no problem finding parking. I will say that some folks trying to park are scary. Take care when you're here, as both a driver and a pedestrian. This mall does have bus terminal, which is helpful if you are getting to and from this mall using public transit. There are a lot of eateries here that I need to explore. The downside to a mixed indoor-outdoor mall is figuring out what stores you want to visit, and whether they are indoors or outdoors. If you're driving, you need to figure out where you should park to access the stores that you need. (482)

For my 700th review, I am going to review the place where I spent almost 1/2 my childhood as my…read moreparents owned a store at this place pre-renovation. My quick history at this place: -Old school mall similar to Dixie Outlet mall with locally owned stores with Woolco, Dominion and a few banks. -Wal-Mart moved in to replace Woolco. Business improved at this mall (was a much better anchor store than Woolco). -Wal-Mart moved out without an anchor store and foot traffic decreased (this is in contrast to the belief that Wal-Mart doesn't help small businesses). -After Wal-Mart moved out, most of the mall was demolished with the exception of the side where Dominion sat (now called Metro) and also has a library, a couple of clothing shops . -This was replaced by an outdoor mall which now has plenty of restaurants, a Goodlife Fitness. Tim Hortons, etc. My overall verdict here: You don't shop here, you just eat here. If you are in the area, just come to this mall, and there should be plenty of things to eat. I particularly like Symposium Cafe and Pho Mi 89.

I have a different spin on Brookfield Place. I used to work there. I worked for a major Canadian…read morebank for roughly seven months. This bank has offices scattered throughout the downtown core. We occupied the ninth floor. I loved the location. I'd take the GO train from Markham down to Union Station, and take the PATH briefly to Brookfield Place. There are a bunch of elevators that don't all go up to the same floors. You need to find the floor interval that suits where you want to go. If you are a visitor, Brookfield Place is beautiful. I remember taking a couple of Swedish colleagues to a Toronto Maple Leafs game and we passed by my old workplace. The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Brookfield Place. I suggested that they go, as they were huge hockey fans like I am. They went the following day and absolutely loved it. My love for Starbucks is due to working at Brookfield Place. I'd drop downstairs to get a drink and take a breather. It's convenient to do a bit of shopping or grab a bite to eat. There's a food court where there are many fast food eateries. I'm sure they have changed since I was last there. There is also a Longo's Market. I'd often get cubed fruit, such as watermelon and cantaloupe, that was easy to eat at my desk to keep me content throughout the afternoon. There used to be a Marche, where you can choose from sandwiches and hot meals. I don't think it's there anymore, but it was awesome. The top floor is where you get to see the high glass ceiling and gorgeous architecture. I didn't appreciate it when I worked here because it was a fairly crazy time in my life working full-time and doing a master's degree part-time. However, when I have returned as a visitor, be it during Nuit Blanche or when I'm heading to Scotiabank Arena, I appreciate how beautiful the crystal cathedral of commerce is. My favourite memory will always be lining up with a few colleagues to get a free heart rate monitor on the first floor of Brookfield Place. We enjoyed missing a bit of work, chatting with one other, and getting a health gift in return. I gave mine to my parents and they still use it to this day. I miss Brookfield Place and the various giveaways that take place. I don't miss the job that I had or the stress that I had experienced. Luckily, I do get to drop by whenever I'm attending a concert.
