It’s my first visit to Ipoh’s latest AEON mall in Klebang. As someone who has been based in KL and visits malls every other weekend, AEON Klebang is definitely not at the same level as Mid-Valley or 1Utama. However, I think it’s more than enough. I have never managed to finish strolling through Mid-Valley or 1Utama in my usual 3 hour visits thus far. I think this is a good addition to Ipoh. Come to think of it, even in that city up north, they have just two prominent ones with a few upcoming ones anyway. That two most prominent would only be either Gurney Mall or Queensway Mall. The rest? Well, to be frank they are still ‘trying.’
What are some of the shops available? I got the following from a site I visit on and off for Ipoh stuffs. That site is http://pemerintahberani.blogspot.my. Please do refer to the full list below:

I think whatever of the usual and even the not so usual that you are looking for should already be available. Of course, Klebang is not considered a central location but all these are just time based. If there are no other bigger malls around and AEON Klebang continues to have lots of promotions, events and visitors, it’s location would soon be accepted by majority. Come on, if you are a new couple, you would want to visit the biggest mall and be seen to be following the trend, right? Haha. Actually, I was disappointed with Ipoh Parade for not having proper baby rooms even within its anchor tenant; Parkson. At least AEON Mall Klebang did not disappoint me in this respect.
