Nada Lama
There's no better way to de-stress than booking a spa session at
Nada Lama
(

www.wix.com/nadalama/org
;
Lot 3197, Jln Penchala Indah, Bukit Lanjan Damanasara; massages from
RM60; 11am-10pm)
. Surrounded by a forest of durian trees, this eco-spa is rustic. The mas-
seurs are highly professional and skilled in a variety of treatments using organic ingredi-
ents. Pampering aside, the cafe alone is worth the trip for its delicious Indonesian food at
bargain prices - a meal is unlikely to cost over RM30.
Cooking Classes
A visit to the market followed by learning to cook several Malaysian dishes is the format
of
LaZat Malaysian Home Cooking Class
( 019-238 1198;

; Malay House at
Penchala Hills, Lot 3196, Jalan Seri Penchala, Kampong Sg; 10am-2pm Mon-Sat)
. Also worth looking into
is the culinary retreat
Bayan Indah
( 7729 0122;
www.bayanindah.com
;
3343 Kg Palimbayan Indah; house
sleeping 8 RM5200)
. It's often booked up with corporate events and team-building exercises,
but check its online calendar or email about booking a private class or joining a shared
group class. Staying overnight here is also a lovely experience.
