A place where homegrown means something—where every hour unfolds with quiet purpose.

There’s a particular alchemy that happens when heritage meets hands, when love becomes tangible through craft, when transparency isn’t a marketing buzzword but simply the way things are done. Homegrown items carry within them something that’s rooted in place, in story and in the quiet conviction that how something is made matters as much as what is made.

In a world drowning in sameness, the search for authenticity has become both urgent and elusive. We’re told to buy local, support small, choose sustainable—but where? And how do we know it’s genuine?

If you’re seeking that rarest of contemporary luxuries—the simplest of joys, untethered from pretence or performative consumption—there’s a place where these seemingly contradictory desires converge. KLGCC Mall, where homegrown is a philosophy that shapes every corner, every vendor, every carefully considered offering.

EM’S Soft Chunky Cookies

If you’re a fan of Levain’s legendary thick, gooey-centred cookies with crispy edges, then Em’s Cookies is your destination, and it’s all locally made. These aren’t your thin, crispy cookies—we’re talking about hefty, palm-sized treats that are crispy on the outside but gloriously molten and fudgy in the centre. No need to fly to New York for that ultimate cookie indulgence—just head over to Em’s and get ready to experience cookie heaven!

Kualesa

Kualesa creates eco-conscious apparel from bamboo lyocell and recycled materials—breathable, cooling and sustainable alternatives to synthetic fast fashion. Their polos, tees and batik shirts marry comfort with environmental responsibility. Perfect for conscious consumers who refuse to choose between looking stylish, feeling comfortable and doing good.

BaD Scones

Bad Scones is perfect for those wanting a proper English pause. It’s the kind of place that lets you take a moment, slow down and simply be. From hearty meals to sweet delights, each dish here tastes like something pulled from a beloved family recipe box. There’s an unmistakable home-cook warmth to everything here—the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and think, “This tastes like home.” Whether you’re settling in for a substantial lunch or indulging in the ritual of scones and tea, the experience carries that rare quality of feeling both nourishing and nostalgic. 

HarborLand

HarborLand emerges as an unexpected revelation—one of the world’s five largest indoor playgrounds. Here, children become architects of impossible worlds, building elaborate universes with nothing more than their boundless imagination as a blueprint. It’s mesmerising to witness creativity in its purest, most unfiltered form—uninhibited by self-doubt or the need for perfection. 

KLGCC Mall understands that most places don’t: luxury, in its truest form, has nothing to do with logos and everything to do with provenance. It’s not about what costs the most—it’s about what matters most. It’s not just about what you buy or where you eat. It’s about spending a whole day surrounded by things that were made here, by people who care. And somehow, that just hits different.
