(Hot Spring) Kolam Air Panas Jasin, Melaka.

I had my half day trip to Jasin for the purpose of hot spring. I cannot remember when was the last time i went for hot spring, but i'm sured the last i went was the time i'm still in Penang. So, this was the very first trip to Melaka's hot spring. I would comment that the hot spring in Melaka is not as hot as hot springs in Penang. It was "warm" spring instead of HOT spring.LOL!(or maybe i never went to the hotest small pool with 44°C and above there.)But, the feelings of immersing yourself in the pool was so relaxing though you would feel like sweating around your face, forehead until your hair got wet.

One thing that the hot spring(in Jasin) should be improved is the water of the pool is not clean enough as crystal clear(am i too fussy??). Milky colors(30% of milky) with different kind of insects(10% of insects) floating on the pool was quite irritating us. Anyway, we still 60% enjoyed and 40% being annoyed.

I had search some of the informations regarding the to the benefit Hot Spring/Mineral Bath.
 
ok,this is fulled with science terms!hehe XD what i'm concerned here, it is effective with the 15-20 days of experience in mineral bath. Moreover, now only i know MUD is one of the components for hot spring!

#7 techniques/ways to bath in the pool with different temprature!

#8  Pool's temperature with 42°C and above

#9 Ways to bath in pool with high temperature!

#10 the pool with arrows are 44°C, but there are different feels of hoteness between the water in the pool and the water from the paip.(I guess)Maybe the water in the pool has exposed to the surrounding temperature especially the weather of the day is windy and cloudy!

#11 we never try this pool since the board showing how serious hotness of the pool...

#12 the moment we had fun together!

#13 the moments we immersed in 44°C pool.
#14  there's 500m away to the Hot Springs.

#15 around 5.30pm we left there..

#16 a cup of hot tea to warm us after cold bathing from bathroom.

Rolled it with CLEAN towel for around 30 minutes until it's cool down.
After spreaded the filling,and rolled.
Done!my first try!the roll is kinda thick.(due to small square tray!should use rectangle tray.)
The secret receipes i got from one of the blogger-Kimberlycun. She cooked nice foods. Highly recommended. I will try for 2nd time other days with different flavor.(ps:i will make it slimmer than this for next round.)
