Japan in Malaysia: ISETAN



Isetan is a well-known shopping mall in Japan. The first Isetan outside of Japan was located in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Lot 10, Bukit Bintang (BB), many years ago. Time for a renovation!


We remembered the old Isetan in KL, as a more or less run down mall, with many cheap items, interesting but not inspiring.

Our recent visit showed a totally new Isetan: fresh ideas, sparkling design, innovative products, totally the opposite of the old one. Now it's really a showcase of the best that Japan has to offer. Amazing. If you have time, do go there and pay it a visit in Lot 10, BB. Although being a showcase, the items are still for sale (most of them). Unfortunately, no longer cheap. One price one quality!

ISETAN, which commonly saying an iphone, ipod, ipad and so one, which literally means, i phone, i pod, i pad. so in here it means i setan? or i set an? in my country, setan meant as a ghost or evil. so in here also most of people will inter-prate it as, i ghost. hehe.. quite interesting name picking. wonder what its actually mean for them creator.
