Neighbourhood shopping malls are like white bread. They get the job done in a pinch, but they’re not exactly the most interesting thing in the world. When you think of interesting, you think of thrilling theme parks, loud arcades, and restaurants with food that keeps you coming back. You want to experience this every day, and you want to live there.
While you can’t really be in all of these places at once, KINEX may just be the next best thing.

Formerly known as One KM Mall, the shopping centre went through a rebranding in 2018, and now positions itself as a community-centric mall. Aimed at fun-loving individuals who lead active and vibrant lifestyles, KINEX has made several branding changes, as reflected in its new ‘Let’s Play!’ tagline.
Famous names like Beauty in the Pot and Shi Li Fang have been in KINEX since the OneKM Mall days, making up just a few of the many eateries in the mall. There is also a food hall in the basement, with some of the more popular stalls being Two Wings’ chilli crab wings, MFC’s fried snacks and waffles, and R&B bubble tea.
Facilities wise, KINEX has free wifi and wheelchair loans available, as well as a nursing room on Level 2. The mall also has a DBS ATM and AXS Machine on Basement 1, and a UOB ATM on Level 1.
