Jenny had a couple of days before she was starting her new job so it was a good opportunity to meet up with her to have yum cha. Luckily I was able to have an extended lunch hour to do so. We started with a “fish” pedicure. This seems to be the current thing trending at the moment so when a groupon voucher came up I thought it was a good opportunity to check it out.
Honestly I think the whole “fish” pedicure thing is overrated. Sure the fish were nibbling but I really don’t know to what extent they were able to clear out the dead skin cells. It felt really odd and ticklish. I would safely put it into the “novelty factor” category than a genuine “pampering” experience. On the plus its a good activity to entertain the kids – at Garufa at least its something like £1 a minute with a minimum of £5.
I have to mention Jenny’s “worst” day experience – we had a bit of time before we needed to get our fish pedicure and lunch so we went to a local oriental supermarket. Jenny bought a bottle of sesame oil – but when she put it down on the counter it rolled off – and the lady made her pay for it! I’m not saying it was partially Jenny’s fault but I think it was partially the lady’s fault too – just seemed a bit harsh.
Jenny’s “best” day experience was running into Martin Lewis! He must have been filming some sort of television spot – but Jenny was well-chuffed to be meeting her idol in person.
Then it was on to a giant feast at Royal China. Jenny even braved Chicken Feet. Heh heh.
