Wow! It's been a long long time since I had been to a local spa around Singapore. As always, it has to be a great deal as I think the spa locally is a little overrated in terms of pricing.

How we chanced upon this promotion was through Groupon Singapore. I guess I am not the only one who is into this coupon crazy. We all love fantastic deals, don't we?

Coming back to the topic, we tried booking over the weekdays after 6pm but the slots were blocked out over the island. I believe it due to the overwhelming response of the promotion as there was a lot of purchases going on during that period. So in the end, my colleague and I decided we should go during lunch break at the nearest branch from our work place.

There was a time slot at 12pm and we booked it. The outlet that we went to was at Raffles Place (Malacca Centre). We rush over to Raffles during lunch time. I had to call up the outlet to let them know that we were late and they told us that the could only hold the reservation time for 15 mins. My initial thought was like seriously?! So I had to tell them that we were on the way there and if they could hold it for us for another 15 mins. I was forcing my way and I know that they can't say no. It's not my usual self to do this but sometimes, you just have to.

We found the place quite easily as the green banner was obvious among the brown buildings plus it is on the ground level. The entrance of the outlet was simple, white and light green. It was clean looking and there was 2 staff at the counter. They were friendly and led us to where we needed to go and what we needed to do.

My colleague and I was led into this room, inside were 2 massage beds. As we booked the slot together, they pulled out the divider of the room. Which means I can talk to my colleague when we massage. If it was awkward, I am very sure we can ask them to pull in the divider but we were comfortable with the open-ness of it.

I had to point out that they didn't have a locker for us to put our valuables, when my colleague asked for a locker, the staff simply said it was at the basement (which was a hassle to go down). Hmmm... I wonder if everybody was comfortable with that? So the only way to "hide" it was in between our clothes.

Onwards to the massage portion, I had my bed heated up and my colleague's bed wasn't(the person forgot to turn it on for her) and she was freezing cold after the whole massage! Poor thing. My masseuse was not local(I believe) and her strength for massage wasn't too strong and I felt that it was just normal as I like tougher massages. My neck/shoulders were so stiff at that point that I asked her to focus more on that area. I liked it when she knows where my stiff points are and focused quite a bit on it but the rest were so-so for me.

After the massage, I have never felt so shiok in my life! I have been to multiple massages but this was the best because it was during lunch break, after a very stressful morning, one massage really acts as a booster for me. So that's my hint for you ladies, ta pau your lunch and hit the massage during lunch time.


I also liked the fact that the consultant didn't try to hard sell to us. All she did was promote 10 massage package with 10 scrubs for $688 and when we didn't want it, she didn't try to lower the package price or anything. It really "wow" me at that part. Totally impressed.

So we walked out of the place happy! Oh, they had a complimentay red date drink after the massage.
