Econsave at Perda City Mall (3 May 2015)


When I visited Perda City Mall, I saw that it is still "a little less happening", perhaps because I arrived early in the day, and also because of competition from the newer AEON Mall, which in fact is not exactly nearby.

Getting there

Coming by Car
Perda City Mall can be easily reached from Penang Island. Visitors from the island should exit the North-South Expressway at the Bukit Mertajam Exit (also known as Exit 162). Take the main road towards Bukit Mertajam (called Jalan Baru, but really not a new road). When you reach a flyover-cum-roundabout, exit the road (do not take the flyover). Take the second junction at the roundabout. It's Jalan Permatang Batu and leads to Bandar Perda. A short distance down the road and you will arrive at Perda City Mall on your left.
