Thomson Plaza has always had a posh suburban mall vibe since its heyday in the 1980s as the locus of Yaohan and Ponderosa. The latter's all-you-can-eat salad buffet is still fondly remembered by people of a certain vintage.
Today, the mall has mostly been updated into contemporary anonymity, with its tenants dominated by food offerings. But there are still retro holdouts to check out - from Hawaii Tailor, which has been there since the mall was built in 1979, to your choice of hipster or old-school barber service.
