A sleek new multi-concept wellness store has found its way to Jalan Besar, and it’s a big one. Literally.
Taking up the entire 20,000 sq ft third floor of Kitchener Complex, Mahota Commune is home to an atas market selling organic produce and health food, a restaurant and cafe featuring dishes made with organic ingredients, and a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic.
With such an abundance of space, it also plays host to myriad activities, including free meditation sessions on weekdays, free Sunday morning walks around the neighbourhood, paid yoga classes twice a week, wine tasting sessions and an ever-evolving list of pop-up stalls displaying wares like fair-trade coffees and bicycles.
Healthy living is the key word at this holistic store. At Mahota Kitchen, which offers a menu of mostly Italian food, the chicken is reared without antibiotics or hormone injections, and the organic beef comes from a sustainable source in Australia. Even the breads at Mahota Pantry cafe are made from unbleached wholemeal flour.
And if you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you might wanna check out the range here — this is one of the country’s biggest selection of organic and biodynamic wines that hail from Australia, France, Italy, and even Mahota’s vineyard in China. Mahota also has an organic farm in Shanghai, from which it brings in seasonal produce twice a week.
Mahota Commune is at L3, Kitchener Complex, 809 French Rd, 6299-6809. Daily 9am-10pm.
