Cinta Sari Tradispa

located at the commercial center after the horribly jammed intersection of jalan cempaka and jalan ampang is the cinta sari tradispa. every day, usually after work, stuck in the jam with nothing to do but twiddle my thumb and wait, i always wonder what is it and how was it. but it never cross my mind to actually stop by and try it out. mainly because after the wordings of "Cinta Sari", the next sentence is "Tempat Istirehat", all at the same sign board.

so, me being me, of course, i would think "Tempat Istirehat" must be nothing good. i dont want to accidently enter a "men's only tempat istirehat" and embarassed myself profusely. one day, quite accidently, while surfing through my facebook notification, i came across one notification that said that one of my friend is a fan of Cinta Sari Tradispa. curious, i clicked and "OHH!" came out of my mouth.

yes, people, it is actually an actual spa and even more wonderful, it's exclusively for women only.

more curious, i went googling for it.

yes, there is a webpage: Cinta Sari Tradispa. *isnt internet wonderful?* cintasari tradispa has full range of services from massages to scrubs to facials to mani&pedi to waxing to pre wedding packages and even post birth packages! interesting huh?

so guess what did the tikus do? ;P

i called and booked myself a Vanilla Mocha spa package and mani&pedi for early Saturday morning - yes, 1030am is early morning pour moi, ok! kononnya so that i would be nicely scrubbed and massaged for the special dinner that night. *grin*

from the outside, the spa itself is very unassuming. the location, though smack in ampang, is not very strategic as it is located in the worst area of traffic jam at jalan ampang. the entrance to the commercial center is very confusing and the parking doesnt look very easy. it took me quite a while to figure out how to enter the commercial center and i thank god that it's early sat morning that the parkings are still available.

the interior though, is quite tastefully decorated. u would not have noticed that it is actually a shop lot. there are quite a number of rooms and they are all nicely decorated - yes, i peeked -the facilities are clean and it smells heavenly, well, for the lack of better words. i was pleased.

my package began with a foot bath, then a massage, scrub and milk bath. one word of warning, there are no spa panties provided. yes, you are full monty :D i dont know whether u can request for one, maybe u could..

overall, the treatment was good. the massage was better than good, or rather my masseusse is excellent. the massage is mainly balinese traditional, i think, long strokes. however, i honestly felt that the scrub was not as thorough as it should have been but the scrub itself smelled so nice that it made me crave for one of those san fran coffee vanilla mocha ice blended drinks.. the milk bath was just OK, mainly because i dont like milk that much :) hehehe yes, i know, i should have chosen something with a flower bath instead..

the young ladies working there are friendly and helpful. i got from them that they are opening another branch in setapak sometime this month due to customers' requests. but they are not closing this one in ampang because they have significant existing ampang-based clients already.

sorry i have no pictures but u can go to their webpage and get everything u want to know from there. from a client's point of view, it's worth a try and could very well be your favorite spa. except for the location, what's not to like? the price is reasonable (excellent, in fact), the facilities are nice and the treatments are better than good. for me, for sure i will be going there again :)
