CITY CENTER II REVIEW

It all started when my friend wanted to watch 7D movies...
We had finished our university exams and as a form of catharsis we decided visit City Centre II in New Town, Rajarhat,Kolkata. The mall located in the new part of the city was indeed far for someone who lives in the heart of Kolkata. It was like going to some outskirt but posh locality to watch some 7D movie. It took around 1hour to reach the mall (in Kolkata heat, believe me, it is some feat) from Bhawanipore. My friend and I were soaked in our sweat by the time we reach the mall.
We entered the mall(the security personnels were strict!) and to our dismay the 7D movie hall was under technical renovation, so there was no show that day. After taking all the pains to reach the mall we were so so disappointed! But since we'd come that far we decided to tour the mall...
First, we went inside Just Casuals. I got a summer dress from Topshop and my friend too got a dress from Atmosphere. We were quite happy with our purchases despite the dejection.
Secondly, we went inside Afraa, tempted by the cheese cakes and apple pies displayed on the counter. I ordered Ice tea and apple pie while my friend asked for macrons and coke. The ice tea was like any regular Nestea but they charged it more expensively.The apple pie was average or rather much too sweet for me. My friend didn't like her macrons too.
More dejected, we began exploring the mall... Most of the shops were vacant and if I were to shop I would go to South City mall or Forum mall anytime of the day, meaning City Center does not offer variety of brandss. It has Pantaloons, Max, and other sports brands like Nike,Puma and so on. Got a hairband from Max ( comparatively the collections in this Max was much better than the one in Elgin Road,Kolkata). And also got myself a nude tshirt from 1$ Shop( I was lucky, they did not have much clothes, mostly there were food stuffs and other variety of things like hair clips, photo frames, synthetic flowers and so on)
Me and my friend are big Chinese food fans, so we searched for Chinese restaurants inside the mall, we were particularly looking for pork items. Should i say more??? We did not get it.
We ended up going to the food court and ate Thai sizzlers and Garlic chicken chowmein form Sizzling Sizzlers. The best part of the whole eterprise was this! The food was awesome!
I wish we had foods like these in Forum mall( 3years eating Forum food and I never liked it:ate under compulsion)
Since we had to travel for 1 hour to reach home, we left early. Shame the mall had to be so far from my place while Forum and Siuthcity are closeby. maybe after some years it may be better but right now,I won't spend another penny to go to that mall.If I want to eat good food I'll go to Park Street where all the finest foods are available there and again some few minutes away from my location.
