First Visit To My Official Massage Spa Boutique!


I mentioned in a previous entry that I purchased a massage package recently to give myself a treat about twice a month whenever I need a boost. As I'm not endorsing the company, I shall not mention the name but some of you may find the below logo familiar. Yap, I got my package with them.





It's currently located in a hotel, however I've heard news that they will be shifting to the next building after the the completion of their new premises and that location is a Ladies Only boutique. That extremely nice to hear. Thus currently, I'll still have to transit through the hotel to get to my massage place.




Up the elevator I go to get uplifted



I passed by the hotel's pool on the way to my private treatment room



My mind started to relax even before I reach the room



Fancy skinny dipping?




My room's quite spacious. I guess they are trying to impress me since it's my first visit.



It comes with it's on attach shower/ steam room





The experience this time was good, the masseuse climbed right onto the bed & cracked my spine all the way from my first to my every last vertebrae. I never knew I can "crack" like that. I felt completely "loosen up" after that and she went on with the rest of the massage followed by a scrub. However she went on talking & talking about her sister's and my misfortune (not that I'm penalising her for it), that I did not really get the chance to quieten my turbulent mind in peace. I needed it quite badly during that period of time. I walked out of the room with a well-kneaded body, but nothing much done for me mentally & emotionally this time.

Lesson learnt:

Tell the masseuse that you need to rest and they will understand. You paid for it, ask for what you want.



Dessert & Ginger Tea served after my treatment


After I got dressed and proceeded to the lounging area where my friend was waiting for me, I was served the above. Dessert was Beancurd Skin and Barley Dessert (腐竹薏米糖水), one of my favorite dessert. However they gave one of the a key ingredients a miss, Ginkgo Nut. It's a little disappointing but that was a value-added treat, can't ask for too much. I found a recipe that looks quite good, click if interested <Beancurd Skin, Barley & Ginkgo Nut Dessert (腐竹薏米白果糖水)> I think I'll attempt cooking it one day.

After the session, we were so hungry that we made a beeline to grab lunch. It's not proven but I think I'm always hungry after a massage, is it due to my renewed blood circulation doing it's magic? We order the below:



Korean Spicy Chicken Bulgogi (불고기)




My Bibimbap (I already have a post on this Korean dish, so I will not elaborate on it here)



So yummy! I love Bibimbaps!


Our view while we had lunch

Thank you for reading my blog, a little diary of mine. I'm so sleepy, going to nap now. I'll blog again later tonight!
