What is so interesting about this place, you might ask? Well, for starters, on this exact spot, holds an interesting and chilling folk lore behind it. Many people doesn't know about it, but many years ago, on this exact spot, there is an old tree which was used for worshipping purposes. The tree is being tied with a large yellow cloth and there is an alter at the foot of the old tree. Before the shopping mall was developed, there's some old buildings where it now stood over. Legend or that's how the newspaper reported it, when some contractors were asked to remove the old tree for development of this place, the tractors will not operate. Worse, someone actually died trying to cut down the tree with a chain saw. Many priest were sent to offer prayers and finally, the tree was cut down. I can't really verify these 'stories' but, as you can see from the picture, the bald spot, without any grass, is the exact spot where the tree once stood.

And because of the tree, the construction of the building had a weird disconnection between the foyer. It's not the design, I remind you. I've seen the tree and the construction before.
