Their name; Garra Rufa imported from Turkey. Yes Turkey.
They can be found in this spanking new 'Fish Spa' in Jalan Telawi in Bangsar bearing the same name. No it's not a spa for your pet fish but a spa for people who dare soak their legs into pools of water teeming with very rare and special, anchovy-sized fishes that eat human skin or keratinized skin on the surface of your legs and feet.
Only a couple of customers were there when Agnes dragged me there one afternoon and we had the full attention of more than 4,000 little fishes incessantly nibbling on our legs while she had my full attention for a full half an hour. Hmmm... a very good way to nab busy people for their undivided attention.
And how does it feel? Like having mild pins and needles in a ticklish sort of way. Didn't do much for me but I reckon it'll be good for people with lots of spare skin to rid of.
Well, it appears this sort of business is the latest fad to hit town as more are sprouting up in parts of the city. This particular offering seems apt for the Telawi area as the neighbourhood seems destined for high end boutiques and health and wellness spas.
Want pretty feet? Go see owner, Jacqueline and get a unique experience or even if it's to slow down just to find your feet......being eaten by thousands of little Garra Rufas from Turkey.
It's therapeutic.
