Bookworms, rejoice! The first South-East Asian flagship bookstore for Taiwan’s Eslite Spectrum Co. opened on December 17 at the Starhill mall in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The browsing experience of a bookstore is combined with art, coffee, and a way of life in this brand-new bookstore in town. For those looking for a fun way to pass their free time in a big city like Bukit Bintang, this combination is arguably the best.

The design theme for Eslite Spectrum Kuala Lumpur, “a voyage of exploration,” was influenced by Italo Calvino’s book Invisible Cities. The store was divided into four main city themes—City of Arches, City of Rippling Waves, City of Eternal Day, and The Floating City—each of which will lead visitors on a different exploration journey.
There are thousands of book titles for sale, with works in Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia, and English that appeal to every conceivable demographic. Eslite Recommends can be of assistance to those who are unsure of what to read. These are books selected by Eslite’s team that have excellent writing or cover subjects important to contemporary issues.
The entire section devoted to budding bookworms will be appealing to young readers as well. Here, parents will discover a vast selection of kids’ books and learning toys suitable for any inquisitive kid. In addition to books, this location frequently hosts kid-friendly events like storytelling sessions and craft workshops.
In the meantime, Eslite Forum is where you can catch speakers discussing a range of topics and Eslite Writing Boutique was created specifically to serve the needs of writers because readers and writers frequently interact with one another. So, what are you still holding out for? Visit Eslite right away to see what literary gems and other goodies are there.
