Mr Ang's massage is Tuina style. He is on par with,if not better than, Tony(according to my opinion, hopefully I don't get slam by Tony's supporters). He can apply quite hard pressure too. Only one problem, he cannot stop talking..hahaha. if you don't mind, he is a nice guy. However, if you wanted a quiet session, it will be quite difficult unless he has gotten feedback and knows when to talk. He is quite a friendly guy though. I think in terms of tuina skills wise, he is the best in AMK (but not ambience).

massagee: don't know ur intent here; either to downgrade Tony's skill or to promote him (in the wrong way). I can see u have some agenda here. Of course again in order to be independent, massage are very personal and can be physique dependent and the customer's intent. U know ......what I mean.... Haha.....

However. Having said that, one should not be bad-mouthing the other to show superiority.

(not related to Tony and Mr Ang. Just wanna to have a fair comment on an unfair comparison)

btw, for mature masseur, there are Tapas, Paul, Terry, Caleb etc.... Try them all and u will know who suit u better and be then to decide youself and have a backup plan if your preferred no.1 can't take ur appointment.

[Guest guest]

I like the massage from the old man Peter Tan of Marsiling.

Wonder if he is still doing it.

[Guest massagee]

U Know: I was just giving my feedback on Mr Ang and am doing an apple to apple comparison in terms of tuina style massage. Yes, I personally think, in terms of overall session, Mr Ang is better (at least he gave some nutritional advices). No, I don't bad mouth anyone because I didn't say bad thing about Tony. There were so many good to very good reviews of Tony so maybe my expectation was very high when I dropped by to get a session from him. Anyway, let's don't be too sensitive (and I do not wish to be caught in any form of argument). I am just responding to 'GUEST" request and providing him a comparison. It is up to guest to decide and if you "u know" think Tony is good or very good, then, good for you. i respect your opinion. Likewise, I hope you do respect others too.

If you read the much earlier massage threads, you will know that there were quite a lot of good reviews done on Mr Ang too.

[Guest Guest]

Hi Massagee, Thank you for your info..appreciate but then sorry also for being slammed through your comments.. anyway, fellow blowing wind users, I believed that most of us would try to help by giving info which would enlighten or enrich our ignorance/mind etc which I do benefit out of reading too. Lets keep it that way. good day.

Yeah I try calling his old contact but apparently he has change his no. Anyone knows his new contact please share

[Guest The truth]

Frustrated, I have not been to Robin and can't comment on his value for money services. But with $100, is kinda the highest charge to pay in the HML list.

--> moderator indicates only $70. need update here.... Haha but thanks to u then we have this forum.

So i guess what u can do is to try other massuers in the HML list and see if Robin is really value for money. Wish u good luck.

Do remember, average cost of expenditure has gone up. Houses, rental, massage raw material and etc all have gone up. However, I still think is on the high scale overall. Will go there only, if and only if necessary.

Robin might has own justifications for this price, right?

:-) happy massage and relax

I went to Robin's massage yesterday and it's only $70 per hour. If it's 100 dollars, it must be 90 mins massage with aroma treatment..or something extra that you got..who know??!! Haha..

[willo]

Not many Home based massage in the west looking at the HML

Any news on which shop is open/closed during the CNY long weekend?

heard that waterspa be open thru out the holidays

[Guest Guest]

I usually knock off quite late from work, and by that time, most of the men spa would have already closed as they usually close at around 11 pm and last appointment is usually 9.30 pm. It's hard to make a massage appointment past 9.30 pm.

Would anyone be able to tell me if there are any men spa that operate around the clock or at least still accept appointment around 10.30 pm? I was told that I try the sauna (instead of spa) which usually open beyond 11 pm (eg: Queen Resort?) but I wonder whether saunas have therapists to provide massage service and also at such late hours.

[sitogang]

There is one straight joint at 524 Geylang Road, Zu Yu Lin, opened till 1AM. They have about 4-5 male therapists, body massage in private room cost 48$/hour. Most have quite good skill, mature around 30-45, not slim or sissy or belly type.

use google map street view, you can see that this address is a empty shop house for rent/sale and is beside/in front of Atrium. Of course street view photo can be taken ages ago.

really they ask for stats? ive been to ben n he nvr asked abt my stats - i just showed up...

with regards to packages - i think all masseurs with special packages/services do that - n i always say just massage and then turn up..no problems with ben or other massuers (but dunnoe who this leo is)

[Guest Guest]

What's the massage etiqutte when one go for a full body massage at home massage done by male therapist? Would one normally be provided shorts to wear or is it ok to be massaged in the nude? Is it bad massage etiqutte if one gets an erection during the massage?

[Guest Guest]

[Guest big chub]

love the way the massage...love my upper bod and neck being work that way as far as i know less msr do a proper upper bod massge like in the clips shown..any plc to recommend that?

[Guest bear2wrestle]

Hi is anyone among the home-based masseurs stocky or chubby? All things equal - of cse the skill also impt - I prefer a stocky or chubby guy to massage me.

[Guest Kev]

same here - been to both ben and leo - and both never asked for stats. strange that they shld do dat and i can ask if they did too.

[Guest Guest]

I like the second massage with the Orange and white towel.

The masseur did not have a bed but used a towel as a bed red.

He rested you neck on his groin and later hug the head over his shoulder. I find it so intimate

[Guest Truhtrie]

Any one tried an Angmo massage u before?

[Guest Uncle]

I went to Robin's massage yesterday and it's only $70 per hour. If it's 100 dollars, it must be 90 mins massage with aroma treatment..or something extra that you got..who know??!! Haha..

I remember there was a time when most home-based masseurs would charge just $50 which makes sense for us to travel all the way to their apartment, now more and more home-based masseurs seem to trend towards increasing their prices. Conversely, the gay spas in town seem to offer really good discounts if you sign up with group-buying sites like locally. I really hope that more home-based masseurs will not continue to raise their prices, given that they don't have to pay shop rental or business license fees etc so that we can continue to have the right price incentive to enjoy the best of both worlds.

This thread is for discussion of massage. I edited away the names of the commercial organisations as this is OBVIOUSLY advertising. You guys are already advertising in the Business section, keep things there.

[Guest massagee]

On thse commercial spas, there are so many now so the competition is very keen. Hence, most will be coming out with offers (or new boys) to attract customers in order to survive. Signing packages is a big NO NO because quite a nos of them closed after operating a few years and reopen under another name. I kena before so even though it is cheaper, it is not worth the ris to sign packages. Recently, even alot of the straight spas closed down with those customers who sign packages complaining. Also you can't enjoy the latest promotions (such as the closetphobic case) and it will be definitely cheaper than your original package. Some other disadvantages are the masseurs are either less experience or newbie and their massage session is usually fix at 1hr or below and definitely won't be more than 1hr i.e u have to get out of the room on the dot (the 1hrs session includes bathing time and talking cock time so actual massage is 40mins). Having said that, some advantages would be good looking masseurs, some do have good experience.

As for Homebased, usually the masseurs are very experience and most of them are highly certified(if nt some), so you can assure of the quality of the massage. Also the timing is quite flexible i.e. most masseur won't chase you out or follow strictly to 1hr session. You can enjoy the privacy during the session and walking out of his place without worrying someone might recognise you. But most Homebased are quite matured so don't expect the goodlooking ones (do have but they usually go after something extras..)

Current homebased charges (on the average) are quite reasonable, I think. The highest i paid so far is 70 dollars and I still think it is worth it because each time, I spend more than 1,5hr there n paid only 70 dollars. As for spas, I do visit but not frequent as most of the time, it was very disappointing.

Well, to each his own, you have to know what you want and select the type that suits you. Reading reviews by others is just a reference, you still have to try it yourself.

[Guest Dave]

1. Have received feedback that I have NOT updated the HML list for many months. Sorry about that.

2. I collated some recommendations from my sources/informers and updated the HML. Go check them up.

3. Hope you guys can contribute trip-reports here, after your visits.

Cheers !

hi guys. how old is mike?

[Guest WTF]

Thinking that VMS was having $18 SMS discount I went and before hand I made a call enquiry to just double check but after reached I was told tt this promo applies only to their higher priced package! Basic 60mins do not apply. I asked why was their SMS unclear, the only reply was it's an overlook on their end... I left of cos, and for good. Wat a scam. Fish!

[Guest guest]

Sometimes spas will go all out to trick customers to their place. THey believed that once you are there, you will paiseh to go off and still carry on the massage. You are right to walk off. BTW< they are not the only one doing this kind of promos..

What is VMS?

[gymbod74]

I went to Robin's massage yesterday and it's only $70 per hour. If it's 100 dollars, it must be 90 mins massage with aroma treatment..or something extra that you got..who know??!! Haha..

Let me first state that I have been massaged by Robin on a few occasions and have written a field report earlier on my massage session with him.

Considering his adept massage skills, the good quality scented oils he uses and the proper massage bed in his house, I feel that $70 per hour and $100 for 90min is reasonable. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, Robin has been charging the same rate for close to 4 years now...but from my experience, he has been charging the same rate for far longer than 4 years. A quick browse through the newspapers today will reveal that inflation is rising and with it the costs of sundry items. Robin could be justified in increasing costs just so to cover the increased expenditure on his consumables.

The person who asked for a discounted "austerity package" during the economic downturn deserves the snarky retort! After all, during a depression, EVERYONE is affected, including the service providers.

As for whether Robin's attitude sucks, well, everyone has a day when they got off the wrong side of the bed. Even worse if a cheapskate client tries to fleece you without a valid reason. The sad reality is that the customer is still king in today's world so you are fully entitled to take your business elsewhere should you feel slighted. Just bear in mind that masseurs, just like the rest of us, are trying to make a living as well.

Be well,

[Guest Homey]

VMS is Valley Men Spa.

Well, looking at the recent News, our costs if living is on the rise as the economy booms. it seemed that the increase in rent everywhere will be passed on to customers. I wonder why home based keep increasing prices when the ones affected are more the commercial spas n saunas?

[Guest Inflation]

I guessed not only rental increased, how abt daily expenses. In addition, not forgetting materials for mssage such as oil, lotion, paper tower, tower, water and soap..... ( especially those like to bath b4 and aft massage ..... Think along that way then u will feel alright. Btw, I ain't a messeur. And hate it when price keep increasing....... :-) go less if affortability is a concern.

Guess spa's owner shouldn't think they should be the only one justified for price increment. Home based can also

have smaller kind of adjustment on price if they have not done that for last few years........

if a home based masseur cant survive due to high inflation ,he can choose to find a full time job .we have dave and eddie not in operation any more.

[Guest George]

Yes Dave has stop. But Eddie did not stop massage ? He is doing very well full time now. I had a session with him last week. Place is still very well maintain. He even upgragded to rain shower in his bathroom. Face towels on bed (hole) was also changed to micro fibre towels which feel so soft and comfort . Dont mentioned about his body exfoliating scrub . Its fantatic :thumb: and i can feels my skin smoothen after a few days.

I think this is one of the place like going to a 5 star hotel and get a 4 star price :thumb:

[Guest Homey]

Yes, George. U are right. In fact our commercial spas standard surpass that of BKK spas but people still compared low prices between sg n thai set up. Like the saying, yi fen qian yi fen huo.

[Guest guest]

I tot Eddie is doing part time only due to his property agent career ( should be doing v well since property is so hot for the past few years). The spas in Singapore is not necessary better. Actually some of the gay/straight spas in BKK are very good much better than singapore's spas that i have tried. Their customer service are generally better than Singapore. Price, of cause, is cheaper also. Look wise, is relative i..e depends on your preference.

For homebased, I think they can charge high if their service and quality of massage is good.
