Monz Beauty & Soul Spa
You can feel an emotional or mental improvement after emerging from a spa but seldom would you see dramatically noticeable physical results instantly. So I’m going to make a bold claim and say that my two-hour Beauty & Soul facial (RM448) had that immediate effect. My skin looked like new; it’s refreshed, energized and radiant. I can’t stop looking at myself (vain, I know).
With a menu that boasts 24 different types of facial, Beauty & Soul is the spa’s signature treatment, suitable for fatigue and stressed skin. The three main ingredients in the treatment are nourishing Panax Ginseng to stimulate the skin’s cellular function, firming Spilantes Acmella to enhance the skin’s immune system, and anti-oxidant Ginkgo Biloba to increase micro-circulation.
For my dehydrated skin, my therapist also applied the Purple Oil, which has lavender and geranium to soothe dry skin and promote sleep. At least one hour of the facial was spent on the signature three-phase massage. It started with the destressing face reflexology before moving on to the recharging power energy massage. The latter increases blood circulation while improving the absorption of the nutrients in the massage oil. By then, I had fallen asleep (my therapist later assured me that this was the sign that the treatment was working) and woke up later to the final toxin drain massage. As the name suggests, this is to keep the bodily fluids in balance and defend the body against infections.
After a short break over a cup of Milo (my therapist insisted on one for fear I would go hungry soon), I proceeded to the 40-minute anti-oxidant hot bed therapy (RM68). It’s basically a chamber where the temperature is set to about 42C. It was more comfortable than a dry sauna and I could breathe easily. I was told that the bed (each costing RM200,000) is made up of natural volcanic tiles from Japan. The air inside is infused with organic probiotic enzymes to help you relax, improve your metabolism level, strengthen the immune system, rejuvenate the skin and even relieve colds, allergies and constipation. Surprisingly, my skin did look refreshed after that.
Lastly, I chose the one-hour deep tissue massage (RM168), which was a combination of long strokes and acupressure techniques. To end, I opted for the add-on 30-minute ear-candling and scalp massage (RM68) to drain all the toxins released from my body through the massage.Granted, Monz is located in a shophouse. Yet despite the limited space, it manages to create a warm, cosy space through the use of natural stone and wood finishing throughout the interior space. Oh, don’t miss the post treatment drink of dragon fruit enzyme; it’s yummy.

Review of Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club
As I was looking for equestrian /horse riding/ horse trek in Kuala Lumpur, I came across this page. Since I was overseas and visiting Kuala Lumpur for a short weekend trip, booking and communication were conveniently done through emails and telephones. Unfortunately, on the day of booking, it rain the night before and the staff from Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club verbally informed us via telephone that it was unsafe to trek at the time of booking. This was done ahead of our booking. Despite not having the opportunity to experience riding in Kuala Lumpur, we decided to pop down to Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club to see the equestrian club and to see the wonderful horses that is seen in their website. Being a tourist, we took the taxi from Damansara Mutiara (from our hotel) to Bukit Kiara. It was a mere 20 minutes drive from where we were. Getting a taxi from our hotel was convenient. Having been to various riding clubs in Australia and Brunei, we feel as if we were unwelcome in this club. Upon arrival, we manage to visit a privately owned tack shop before setting on foot around the paddocks/arenas. There were stable-men and trainers walking with their horses but we fell as we were intruding in a private environment. Despite that, the equestrian club was impressive and we were told that they owned approximately 40 horses and 150 privately owned horses. After 30 minutes walkabout, we decided to call a taxi and head into the city, Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, the taxi companies informed us that there were no available taxis at the time of our call. So we decided to request for help down from the receptionist at the riding school. 20-30 minutes on, we were also informed there were no taxis and the receptionist suggested us to walk down to the highway and hail a taxi from there. We were horrified! As far as we know, it is illegal to hail a taxi by the side of the road, and to hail a taxi on a highway where cars are zooming at 90km/h is another! Hot and frustrated, we walked down to the main building of Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort which was about 20 minutes walk from the riding school and found a receptionist from the main building who was very nice to us and managed to call a taxi for us and arrived in 15 minutes time. We were even grateful that this receptionist asked us to come in and away from the shade and switched on the fan for us. Luckily, we manage to see beautiful horses that kept our sprits (and tempers) at bay. Perhaps, for tourist this place may seem unwelcoming and even difficult to get to or back to the hotel due to the location.
