Arriving at the concourse area, I was pretty impressed with how 1 Utama transformed the whole area into a huge 'kampung', complete with real soil and grass on the floor. Anyone coming into the Meriahnya Syawal centre stage will definately have that balik kampung feel. Retro bicycles, Vespa scooters and vintage looking knick-knacks at every corner amidst bougainvillea flowers and grassy pathways.

Relax at the wooden benches available around the concourse or laze at the wakafs and enjoy traditional favorites like rendang atuk, kueh bahulu, ice cream and Raya cookies. It was great that we got to watch a cooking demonstration by Chef Sherson Lian that afternoon too, where he showcased his cooking skills to whip up some very nice Hari Raya cookings.
