Fish Spa? what is that? I've seen it once in Time Square, here in KL, when I was with Josiet and was so curious to try yet I'm also hesitant to do it in public place where everybody is watching your reaction as you dip your legs into the fish tank.
I'm not quite sure what my reaction would be. Is this fear factor or what? It was like an exhibit for people to try this fish spa experience, I think it was an introductory thing to promote the fish spa. They set up a fish tank with benches where people can sit on and soak their feet in the tank with tiny fishes that are nibbling on their legs just below the knee. Didn't dare myself to do it until I got a granny neighbor who wants to go and this time, I didn't hesitate to go with her.
We went to Kenko fish spa in Pavillion, my favorite mall, and this time, it is not an exhibit, it is the real spa. I was quite relieved thinking that there would be no passersby to stop and watch me giggling to death if in case. We got ourselves in and a friendly receptionist guided us to wash our feet and proceeded to the fish tanks where we can soak our feet in. The fish tank is filled with tiny fishes called called Garra Rufa. What these fishes do is exfoliate the dead skin on your feet and legs by EATING them! They are commonly known as “Doctor Fish” for their effectiveness in assisting eczema and psoriasis patients in their healing process.
The moment I dipped my feet into the fish tank,I was giggling and a little bit scared of these little creatures gathering themselves waiting for their snacks - my skin! Ohh My God... Holy Fcuk! ... Gosh... that tickles!!! Name it! I can call names! Granny, who was sitting next to me seems to enjoy it. I'm taking my feet on and off the fish tank wanting to enjoy it but I was a little bit scared. But then when I got over with the ticklish sensation, I started to enjoy the experience. A little bit ticklish with pleasure. Yeah, thats the right description.. Ticklish yet pleasurable! The next thing I know, I'm watching the fishes closely as they nibble on my skin taking pictures and video.

It feels like they're gonna bite you but nope, they are not really biting. These fishes would be more than glad to eat your dead skins only. There were other tanks to try on with different sizes of fish. The tiny fishes feels different sensation from the first tank where fishes were about 2-3 inches long . I like both sensations, and I regretted myself in the end because I wasted much time giggling putting my feet on and off the fish tank.
Here's a video clip of these little creatures enjoying their snacks! My legs!
Should I do it again! ohh yes! My skin felt really smooth. It was relaxing. I miss that "ticklish yet pleasurable" feeling.
Kenko fish spa is in 5th floor in Pavillion. This relaxing fish spa costs RM38 per 30 minutes
