Looking for a relaxing massage parlor? I decided to take a chance and search for one near my hotel, and boy, was I in for a treat! The massage experience was absolutely fantastic. Despite the masseuses being young, they were surprisingly strong and skilled. We opted for the traditional massage, which was a delightful choice.
One minor drawback was that they didn’t use disposable bags for the foot soaking basins. However, if this is a concern, you can easily inform the front desk beforehand that you prefer not to have your feet soaked.
After the massage, the friendly staff offered us a choice between hot tea or purified water. Trust me, go for the hot tea! It has a uniquely sweet and spicy flavor that’s both comforting and invigorating. I was so impressed that I even followed the masseuse on Instagram and got a special “link” to stay connected—a Chinese connection for life!
For your convenience, I asked the staff for their menu, which you can find in the last picture.
I totally agree about the massage experience in Jakarta! It’s amazing how skilled the younger masseuses can be. Just remember to ask about the foot basin situation if it bothers you. Next time, I’ll also try some other local treatments mentioned in the article.
