the cab driver was very nice..he act as our tour guide too..
he drove us around, brought us to most of the shopping malls N introduced us a very nice massage place..
we even bought a tube of the scrub back.. :)

if I'm not wrong, the massage place is somewhere near the holland bakery shop..
located at a corner..their counter has a menu with description of the variety of their scrub..

Another must try is their Pizza Hut!..
kinda different from Singapore, but Nice..
