What reminds you most of home? Is it the comforting sound of loved ones giggling in the background? Or maybe the warm feeling you get from a whiff of your favourite home-cooked meal?

For the millions of Anak-Anak Malaysia who grew up in this tropical paradise, there are endless sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes that connect us together as one big family and remind us of the one huge home we share.

Say you’re Malaysian, without saying you’re Malaysian…

Living in a melting pot of diverse cultures, surrounded by nature, kampungs and metropolises, and where everyone is your Amma, Kakak, Uncle or Atuk, painted us into the colourful Kain Batik-wearing, Tart Nenas-eating, “Malaysia Boleh”-chanting people that we are.

As Malaysians, we sure have a lot to be proud of lah!

Together, we built towers that touched the sky, crafted art, fashion, music and literature that inspired the masses and created brands and businesses known throughout the world.

From the Boomers to the Zoomers, each generation contributes their own unique visuals, vibes, feels and flavours that delight the senses and add even more colour to our humble abode.

Located along the iconic stretch of Jalan Hang Tuah, ‘MGB’ is Kuala Lumpur’s artisanal mall and the cultural home of the BBCC (Bukit Bintang City Centre) urban regeneration project. It’s also directly connected to the Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport Kuala Lumpur, Zepp Kuala Lumpur and Golden Screen Cinema (GSC).

Here, you can enjoy the best products made by our very own Malaysian artists, artisans, designers and entrepreneurs — from fashion and jewellery, arts and crafts, things to decorate your OWN homes with, and all your favourite Malaysian snacks, under one roof.
