Most people come here for lunch but there are other shops here like salon, money charger, print services and tailor shop.

There are many choices of delicious foods here and most importantly it is aircon inside! Super comfortable for a lunch during hot day. I tried the Thai food, Korean food and salad bowl here. All good! And the price is pretty affordable. Worth to come again.

Good that the number of eateries have decreased due to covid, should have been in the first place. Empty shops have been replaced with shared dining spaces, a practice that should be continued. Korean food remains popular though the standard is bad. My favorite is the Chinese herbal chicken that moved from China Square.

Accessible from the three corners of Hong Leong Building, opposite Lau Pa Sat, The Basement is a place where moderately priced restaurants located. The place got air conditioner and besides restaurants, the place also have florist store, copier service and key duplication service. The best snacks available is the Korean Monnani's cheese pretzel. Better when warm.
