My good friend, Selina, and I recently visited Sabrina, the founder of SweatSpa, which currently has five outlets. I am delighted to see her again. Throwback, Selina introduced me to SweatSpa a few years ago, and it was my first time there. Anyway, it has been a long time since I visited SweatSpa. This time we went to SweatSpa, which is located in Centrepoint, Bandar Utama.

SweatSpa is highly recommended for self-pampering and rejuvenation. SweatSpa provides a full range of infrared sauna therapy, designed to warmly envelop your entire body. Sweating in the infrared sauna will help flush out toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and excess fat from your body as part of the detoxification process. Imagine you only need 45 minutes in the hot sauna per session. You will be sweating profusely as this progresses. However, you will have a few health benefits, as shown below.

• Detoxification 

          Detoxifies 7 x more than traditional saunas

• Weight Management

          Burn up to 600 calories

• Cardiovascular Health

          Improve blood circulation & metabolism

• Pain Relief

          Relax muscles, joints, and tissue

• Anti-aging

          Stimulate collagen production & reduce wrinkles

• Skin Rejuvenation

          Improve skin tone and texture

• Relaxation

          Increase Serotonin & Release Endorphins

By the way, I would like to share my SweatSpa experience and exploration. Before we can start, we must fill out the form and put our height and weight information into the machine, as they want to examine and determine how much muscle, water, or fat is in our bodies before and after each session. They have different rooms, such as a person can fit in a sauna, a couple can sit together in a sauna, and there is a cool sauna where a person can lie on an S-shaped curve. Following that, the staff will take us to our room respectively, where we will spend approximately 45 minutes relaxing in the infrared sauna. We have to take off our clothes and simply relax in there. During this process, I lay on an S-shaped curve, became hot, and began to sweat profusely, eventually sweating all over my body. It is so cool to see the chromolight, which uses light frequencies in all therapy sessions. 

Whoa! When I was shocked to see we had appeared in their TV advertisement, I was happy to watch this on TV! No worries, you can leave the sauna if you feel too hot or to cool down your body. Then return to the sauna. Even you can read, stretch, listen to your favorite music, or simply lay back and revel in the peaceful warmth of the infrared sauna. Until the time is up, which is zero. It means we have completed the 45-minute session. After that, we need to press a call, and the staff will give us a cool towel to wipe our body before putting our clothes back on. 

Then we just repeat what we did earlier: we put our height and weight information on the machine. This will allow us to evaluate and determine how much muscle, water, or fat is in our bodies before and after each session. For example, how much our body's percentage removes the detoxification process. This result will tell us whether or not our body is healthy.

Not only that, but I had the opportunity to experience the infrared foot sauna. My foot becomes hot throughout this process, and it takes approximately 40 minutes. No worries, we can watch the movie in a calm and peaceful environment. 

Good News for the Deaf Community!

SweatSpa offers RM88 for a First Trial + RM32 for a Free Foot Sauna (40 Minutes). Be sure to take it. Simply bring your deaf friends along so you can enjoy the experience. You will experience renewed energy.

Overall, my good friend and I feel rejuvenated after sweating excessively in the infrared sauna.

Have you heard of Hing Kee Bak Kut Teh in the Kepong area? Most residents who live in the Kepong area are well aware that it is the most popular and famous for Bak Kut Teh. Surprisingly, this restaurant is the second branch, which is located on Jalan Kepong, if I'm not mistaken. Their first branch is still open on Jalan Kepong. Wow! This restaurant is extremely crowded during the week and especially on weekends. What's interesting is that they won Michelin Bib Gourmand Malaysia 2023. 

Thus, my family and I would like to try this restaurant because I have yet to try their signature Bak Kut Teh and it is my first visit. Of course, we had to get there earlier before it became too crowded. Honestly, this restaurant is always crowded when I pass by, especially on weekends. You must explore it yourself to understand why it is so popular in the Kepong area. 

The atmosphere is pleasant, and the majority of the display menu consists of Chinese words. I'm not sure if they have a menu that we can look through. Unfortunately, they did not provide a menu and instead instructed the waiter to take our order for the food we wanted to eat at that moment. Anyway, it is a disadvantage for Deaf people like me because we cannot communicate with them in Chinese; however, it would be helpful if they could show us the menu. There is no choice. Anyway, I have a solution: we can show them a food photo from our phone, and they should be able to catch up as we want. Otherwise, if they serve the wrong food, it will be a different story. 

This time, we just ordered two claypots of Bak Kut Teh in soup and Tofu Puffs and Youtiao to go with it. However, we did not order the dry Bak Kut Teh and vegetables this time. The soup Bak Kut Teh has a lighter colour and flavor compared to the Klang version and the meat is soft and tender. This is sweeter with mild herbal spices and a lot of garlic in its soup. As a result, we can feel the aroma of garlic.  

That's all I learned about the foods we tried. Anyway, I can't write a review about the dry Bak Kut Teh version with vegetables because we didn't order it. So, if you're curious about it, you should look into it yourself. Wow! They are open until midnight.

Overall, I was surprised to see that this restaurant is always packed when compared to other restaurants in the Kepong area, and I really enjoyed their Signature Bak Kut Teh. Hopefully, we can go there again and try their other dishes one day.

Aww. My group and I visited a new cafe called Coco Pod Cafe a few months ago. It was one of the best times for me to catch up with my good friends after not seeing them in a while. This is a hidden gem located in Ara Damansara. I seldom visit or pass through this area. Anyway, we enjoy discovering new cafes, which is how we came here.

When we walked into this cafe, we knew it was new and had just opened last year. Although the environment is quite simple, the background is filled with a green vibe. Imagine we are in the midst of nature, providing us peace and calm. 

What an interesting thing caught my attention. Coco, a cute character, was created from the idea of having a community of people who support each other. In addition, it is a safe environment to heal over a hearty meal and meaningful conversation even many more. Anyways, it will give you a sense of peace and calmness. It will provide you with peace and calmness of mind. That is why you will enjoy seeing a variety of Coco Pods in different colors. They're simply adorable and will make you smile and happy.

This time, we chose three different meals: Wagyu Beef Burger with fries, Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti, and Chicken Chop with Fries. When I tasted them, the majority of them tasted like homemade foods that we can feel at home and remind us of how much we enjoy eating at home. Overall, the foods were just average, but they were made with sincere love. 

Thank you, Coco Pod cafe owner, for unexpectedly giving us the cake and biscuits. Despite the cake's appearance as a coco character, it is cool and difficult to bite due to its thick texture. Hopefully, it can be improved for texture and temperature. Anyway, I am looking forward to the food should be more improved in terms of taste and texture, and I believe that it will be more great and delicious. 

Unfortunately, we did not manage to order the special beverage, which is a Magic Lime Tea and Decadent Chocolate. As a result, I could not give a review for this beverage. We hope to visit there in the future. 

This place is highly recommended for hosting a special event, workshop, or party where people want to socialize or chat with one another. Their Social Media Platform as below:-
