A Fishy Story: The Fish Spa

Went to tis fish spa therapy in The Pavilion (where they hav the second The Loaf, owned by Dr M). It is a new trend in kl. The Garra Rufa fishes were imported from Turkey, n the fish spa concept is quite a hit in Japan. The customer soaks in water stocked with fish that nibble on their skin, removing dead cells and reportedly clearing up skin conditions, leaving ur skin glowing. The idea is to soak ur whole body into the "fish tank" so u could hav a whole body therapy, but the 1 here is just for the feet. Prob becos they're testing the market?
At first, u'd feel hesitant (js like the donuts) n when u submerge ur feet into the water, an immediate tickling sensation is felt n u'd instantly pull ur feet out of the water. But thinking tat u r paying for the treatment, so heck, js give it another darn shot. It still feels itchy n funny, having tiny fishes, which i could swear i saw 1 measuring 3.5", nibbling from ur feet. After a 30 min session, to my pleasant surprise, it did live up to its promise. Ur feet do look somewat exfoliated n clean. It is a fun n refreshing idea. After all, u js gotta come up with smtg to celebrate ur 8th anniversary together...
