Fish spa have been around for quite sometime. I remembered when I first stumble upon the Fish Spa was while shopping in Sunway Pyramid. At that time i was quite skeptical to try it out for 2 reasons..One : Coz it's expensive and Two : Coz it's expensive also .. hehehe ^_^
During my recent visit to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, I have found that they do have fish spa at the resort. To my surprise, it's not very expensive (compare when it was first started off).
We were directed to wash our feet before dipping our feet in the pool. Mmmh...I think they also scared that we drowned the fishes with our smelly feet =D
The species of the fish were known as Garra Rufa and its originated from Turkey. Half way through the fish spa process, we were wondering why the fish was running away from us.. then the lady operating the spa told us, to be quiet and the fish will come back.. True enough, they all starting to feast on our feet again after we silence ourselves.
It was a tingling sensation when the fishes nibble on our feet, especially at the bottom of our feet (it was really ticklish). It was not as scarrrry as it look..
However, there is thing to look out for when visiting a fish spa..
1. Make sure they have UV / infra-ray filters
2. Make sure you are not diabetic (coz sometime the fish might bite off some healing wound)
