Ravissante
First on my list was Ravissante — French for ravishingly beautiful — which epitomises how owners Jane and Bee want their clients to feel. Opened in March 2008, Ravissante’s spa treatments are a fusion of Eastern and Western techniques, with options to mix and match between the different treatments, which begin from RM98. Ravissante uses different ranges from Ella Bache, a French skincare brand, which is available for sale in the spa.
The Welcome to Bali package (RM148 for the first trial, RM306 normal price), began with a whitening lemon body scrub. Unlike most body scrubs, which tend to be too abrasive, this was gentle and soothing, yet effectively exfoliated at the same time. A jacuzzi milk bath followed and was such a relaxing experience that it had me nodding off (it’s no wonder Cleopatra was a big fan of milk baths).
After my bath, Regine, my therapist began my 1 hour Swedish massage by rubbing me with faintly scented oil. Using her knees and elbows on various parts of my body, Regine managed to alleviate most of my muscle stiffness. Not only that, she also managed to crack my finger and toe joints (something I never could do), leaving my body completely relaxed.
Apart from spa treatments, Ravissante also offers slimming treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures. Members receive 20% off all ala carte services and 10% off all skin care products and in - house packages.

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.
