Power to the Pets

Seems to me that more and more places are becoming pet-friendly to attract the fur parents market segment. For those who are not in the muslim-friendly segment, have to resort to tapping on pet owners (from my observation, its more about dog owners). Cafes started this, and it has now spread to malls.  Megah Rise is one such example. Upmarket places like Plaza Arkadia and Desa ParkCity Waterfront had an earlier start, but they are more like shopping arcades rather than a shopping mall. Pets are allowed at the common areas, elevators, escalators, and most of the food and beverage outlets also allow pets inside. Even the flea market outside was pet-themed. With more and more people opting for fur babies instead of kids, I guess this makes sense for the more Chinese-centric areas. Anyway, the mall is pretty ho-hum is you discount the whole pet-friendly policy. The only reason I visited was to try the beef noodles at Lao Mao Cafe. Quite good, but the seating is really limited and they lack manpower.
