GetActive
For quite some time, working out in KL has meant sharing the gym with loads of other people whose motivation lies in getting laid rather than getting fit. Here’s where GetActive comes in. It is a gym alright but there are no memberships. To work out, you have to make an appointment with a personal…
Siam Body Works
Unlike spas, which you probably save for that occasional indulgence, Siam Body Works is the kind of treat you could afford to get your tired body worked on every other week. Why wouldn’t you when you can get a good hour of traditional Thai massage for only RM68? Siam Body Works has been around for…
S Spa
If there’s such a thing as a ‘boutique spa’, S Spa would fit in the category nicely. It really is small, as in four-room-kind of small, and its reception lobby is an exercise in minimalism. But the limited décor that it has is rich in details, evident from the Damask-inspired wallpaper. All four rooms are…
Escentials Urban Retreat
Escentials Urban Retreat presents itself as the most exclusive spa in Starhill Gallery’s Pamper Zone. Designed in the theme of a forest, the spa does look classy, luxurious and inviting. The entire space is decked out in natural wood and stone materials while the walls and ceiling are padded with plush floral motifs. We even…
Eve Spa
I blushed under the gaze of four pairs of eyes staring at me as their owners tried to discern the condition of my skin; this was to ensure that the products used were compatible with my skin type and would not cause an adverse reaction. Luckily, my skin is not sensitive, as the Brightening Rejuvenating…
Juice Boutique
Following a massive opening fanfare that involved the appearance of its co-founder Edison Chen, Juice has opened its first Southeast Asian store in Kuala Lumpur. Located in Bangsar, the Juice KL logo is significantly different from its parent company, JUICE Hong Kong, whereby the KL version is emboldened with our Malaysian flag colours, namely red…
Ed Hardy
Modesty is not the style philosophy of Ed Hardy. Talk about making a fashion statement – the luxury rock ’n’ roll-inspired brand’s apparel and accessories are so over the top and flashy. Besides requiring shades to protect your eyes from the clashing of loud and even garish colours seen on the clothes and accessories, most…
Tea & Sympathy
You won’t be getting tea and sympathy from anyone here, just clothes (and no accessories). Eighty per cent of the stocks are sourced from Bangkok, and the remaining locally-made ones are designed by Naomi Lim, the store owner. Although this rather bare store has limited items, it makes the shopping experience easier and decision making…
Panggung Bandaraya
Gazetted as a heritage building under the Antiquities Act, it’s also one of the oldest theatres in the country. It is a historical city theatre hall located at the junction of Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Raja that is across the Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was built in 1896 and was completely finished…
