Just down the hill lies Plaza OUG, the largest shopping mall in the locality, which is housing a Parkson store. One can climb the hill and have a grandiose view of the whole garden. The residential roads here used to be in numbers. However the local authorities decided to rename them to Hujan Emas, Hujan Abu, Hujan Batu, Hujan Gerimis, Hujan Manik, Hujan Bubuk and so on. On Thursday nights, there is a night market selling various hawker food, affordable apparels, decorations, daily usage items and toys.

Some of the shops in OUG are Kin San Kopitiam, 7-Eleven, Guardian Pharmacy, Kedai Gunting OUG, Restaurant New Sun Ho, Simon Poon Agency, Wow Wow Pets Shop, Caring Pharmacy and Kedai Runcit Fah Lian.
