Anything above 50, we would have plenty of choices, such as Imperial Apple, Zhang Ling@TPP, J&J@ChinaSquare.

well said.

Share something funny. The website for Han Dynasty is http://handynastyspa.com/.

I think the owners meant it to be read as 'han dynasty spa' but the tikopek in me can't help reading it as 'handy nasty spa' leh. What a website for a place for clean massage!

Ya man, I also read it as handy nasty spa. Haha. Initially thought Han Dynasty was also one of those but found it to be a good clean place that provides good massage at a reasonable price thats why I frequent often. Oriental TCM is also a great joint except that no attached shower in the rooms and it is slightly more inconvenient for me in terms of location. Been there a few times when I am around the tanjong pagar area. And yes there is imperial apple, jj, zhangling and quite a few more. Lots of choices over there.

The non promotional prices are still a tad higher than Oriental, unless they constantly have similar promotions.

Oh thks for d info bro. I hv not been to Han for more than a mth onli. Think previous 'promo' was $55/hr n now further reduced to $48? This price looks more attractive, more 'on par' with TN joints in general. Times muz be bad.

If I am not wrong, the $48 promo at Han Dynasty started in Jan and should have ended in Mar but they extended it. I see quite a few places charging $55 nowadays, Xian Ge at NBR charges $50 for foot reflexology and $60/hr for body massage knowing that around the NBR and Jalan Sultan vincinity there is Xiyuan, Yueyuan and GreenApple, all charging lesser.

customers are spoilt for choice these days, thanks to the stiff competition in this industry. if the shop has nothing to differentiate itself from its competitors, it might find it difficult to stay in the game n might eventually have to quit altogether.

I checkes out Han Dynasty this morning after Joey did a inconsistent job yesterday. Tried kiki and for 48/hr han is more bang for buck. The shower is a plus and I ended up extending one hr to 1.5h. Will go back again. Night shifts are a plus. Yet to try Tang dynasty. Guess for oriental I'll only come if tina is available. imho, tina is worth the price hike. No horse run that one. Who else u all reccomend at oriental?

Now we have one more reason not to tolerate the sulky demeanor of the boss.

Fully agreed!!! You are referring to Club Street receptionist right? Heard she is the boss. bloody arrogant.

The boss is the fat one. Not the slim built normal one. I accidentally said Joey was early. Went into room she said I will get her into trouble say she reach 10+ is early. Needless to say had a sub-par strength massage service. Not gonna find her anymore. Too many choices. Good sharing from fellow bros here

Joey can be good and give hard massage. But she's not consistent. Depends on her mood or tired or not. And u must rapport with her, but can't let her start talking too much or she'll get distracted. Tina is more consistent. No horse run
