Sundays are city exploring days for me. So, every Sunday (mostly
every Sunday) I go out with my best friend (Canon 1100D) and try to explore a
new corner of the city. One such adventure led me to the Trafford Centre, one
of the famous shopping arenas of this city. Trafford Centre is well connected
via bus to all parts of the city and most places have direct buses plying to
this beautiful shopping arena.

Once you enter the Trafford centre, if you do not have a map
to navigate your whereabouts, you would surely get lost. With most of the big
brands having a shop there, you are bound to find ‘River Island’, ‘Debenhams’
, ‘Primark’ , ‘Calvin Klein’, ‘Fraser Hart’,’
Hotel chocolat.’ and many more, all under one roof. Children can have some fun in the
opportunities available in LegoLand and
SeaLand.
But the main attraction is the food court. The concept of
constructing such a beautiful food court is very different from what I have
ever seen in my life before. Though there are many places where Street food, Indian
food, Italian food American food, Chinese and Thai specialities are found in
the same place, it is indeed unique that the Trafford Centre food court has
gone a step further and even managed to create an ambience which transports you
right back to the type of food you are eating. Dragons and warrior men greet
you on the way to the mini China
Town and Thai food
corner. American street
food is mostly lined with rows of pub like buildings with the New Orleans Jazz
band greeting you at the entrance. Apart from the food here, people are
attracted to the ambience of the place and leave no opportunities to be clicked
in their favourite ambience. The New Orleans Jazz band particularly attracts a
lot of audience who prefer clicking selfies
or groupfies with them.

If you happen to look for low budget eateries like Subway, McDonalds and KFC do not
be disheartened. Amidst this wide array of sophisticated restaurants and bars,
our very own favourite food hubs are also present and guess where – on a ship. With
so many different and unique options to choose from, your taste buds are bound
to enjoy this culinary experience.

If you are looking for some exciting ice-creams, snacks,
juices or simply a cup of coffee to help yourselves to, then ‘360 Champagne and cocktails’, ‘Ambar’ ,’Boost Juice Bars’ , ‘Barburrito’,
‘Bradwell Ice Cream Carts’ and ‘Costa
Coffee’ are ideal for you.
It would definitely take you a lot of time to see the Trafford
Centre. Thus it is better to keep one entire day free to roam around the arena
and indulge into the secret wishes of the shopaholic within you; and of course
it would be a sin to not eat in the food courts here.
