- Unique Properties
- Featuring both high skip-floor and floor-to-ceiling lighting that are rarely unseen in the restaurant in the mall, the Moli Landscape Restaurant allows sunlight, wind and air to flow freely without stagnation, so that guests can experience vitality, temperature and changes in the space.
