Shopping

Plaza Ambon is the city's cross between a proper shopping mall and old-school market. In addition to byzantine market stalls, it has the requisite fast-food choices, a Matahari store and a big Foodmart grocer for se…

Ambon City Center is actually in Passo, some way out of town. Still it's the biggest mall in Maluku, and the place to reconnect with your favourite brands or stock up on groceries at its enormous Hypermart.

This tiny Chinese-run minimart is one of the few places in town where you can buy takeaway beer and even reasonably priced Indonesian-made whiskey.

The most central of Kota Ambon's megamalls has a hypermart and fast-food outlets.
