I never really thought about/ complained about the lack of changing tables in Shangri-la mall until I had my own son. You see, I (actually, my whole family) love to go the Shangri-la mall. We are in Shang every week, at the very least. We even used to hear mass in the 2F every Sunday at 11am. It is our mall of choice because they have clean washrooms, subdued piped in music, not too crowded and it just feels safe there. One more thing that I like about this mall is that they have roving first aid people clad in yellow jumpsuits --- I had first hand experience on their responsiveness and helpfulness when I fainted (I was by myself) in the mall while hearing mass some 5 years ago. But that's another story!
So anyway, going back to the reason why I'm writing this blog --- It's just disappointing for a 1st class mall like Shang not to have enough changing tables in their washrooms! They charge an entrance fee (majority of their washrooms) and yet can only provide 1 measly changing table in the 5th floor! Can you imagine the queue on the 5F ladies washroom during weekends and having to go all the way up/ down the floors just to change your baby? Oh, you'd be pissed! I wonder if someone ever thought of writing to the management and making them SEE this ---well I'm sending them a letter today! How much would 1 changing table cost? I'm sure the mall can afford it, especially since they charge an entrance fee to the washrooms.
I hope Shangri-la steps up since all of the other malls, specifically SM - all their branches ( well, the ones that I have been to) have changing tables in every ladies washroom ( and read: they don't charge a fee). Kudos to the newly renovated Rustan's in Shang mall for seriously thinking about the mommies and babies. Not only did they install a changing table ---the cubicles are huge enough to bring the stroller inside.
