Pavilion KL - Better than Siam Paragon?

Siam Paragon is perhaps the swankiest and most upmarket shopping mall in Bangkok. This is NOT the place to grab cheap bargains and imitation goods, for those please head to Chaktuchak or Suan Lum night bazaar.

The interior

Near the area where the more expensive eateries can be found (including a dedicated Chinese delicacy restaurant, Tony Romas (with pork ribs!!!), etc. Note that there is plenty of water flowing about.

A grand piano sits there as well.
Just two of the many. many designer names available. Definitely not the place to be if you are on a tight budget. Perhaps the cheapest you can get is Zara or MNG.

An aquarium in the food court! There is also a proper aquarium in the basement (ala Aquaria). The food court is also where 95% of the crowd was, no surprises there.

It was Christmas, obviously.

Will the soon-to-be-completed Pavilion KL be able to rival this place (and in so doing, trouncing KLCC, Starhill Gallery et al?). Some people certainly think so.
