THE RUB BAR<br />
Taking a leap from the conventional<br />
dimly lit parlours, this massage center<br />
is a testament to the change of time and<br />
needs. The Rub Bar is a clever play on<br />
the Malay word “raba” which defines to<br />
rub, touch or feel something. This speaks<br />
for the massage boutique that offers a<br />
list of comprehensive head to toe body<br />
treatment including an eye and face<br />
massage session; all in a value-conscious<br />
healing getaway.<br />
The signature kneading and rubdown<br />
are the aromatherapy full body massage,<br />
sole-soothing foot reflexology and the<br />
triple combo 3-in-1 massage. Staffed<br />
with experienced therapists, The Rub<br />
Bar specialises in traditional Malaysian<br />
massage, one which principally dote on<br />
kneading to expel wind and improving the<br />
flow of blood vessels.<br />
