Hi mummy, im staying in kajang. I plan to stay in the confinement center in Sg long. This is the center facebook and details https://www.facebook.com/cultureromance/


I visit the center i felt very comfortable and the price also reasonable. The facebook seems lots of babies stay there before.

I wonder if there is any mummy here have any experience in this center? please share with me.

As i get to know they are not nurse or doctor to take care your baby. just normal confinement center. of cause when we compare the price we see much more different.

i expecting a pair of twins. Normally the price will be RM12000 - RM28000 for 28days. Sound very ridiculous. This center cost me less then Rm7k.

When i discuss this issue with my family and friends. actually some points is useful. when old time we find confinement lady staying our house she is not a nurse or doctor too. So no need to go for so "VIP only for this 28 days."
As we are not from rich family too.



* I find another center in Bukit Jalil price also reasonable. but i think will be the same as the this 1. if there is any mummy have experience in that center please share with me as well. notworthy.gif

Hi all...

Would like to know, why u all choose a confinement center rather than a CL? Isn't it a 1-1 CL is a better choice? And much cheaper?

And, is there a lift in the confinement center? Otherwise, have to ask the mummy to walk up and downstairs post delivery.... painful wei.... cry.gif

Actually I'm trying to look for the comments of confinement centers around Selangor area... I noted that recently there r not much reviews... most of the confinement centers already closed down? Then I left with not much choices now... sad.gif

Although the price is cheaper than average market rate, but you get lesser than expected service.

Food does not meet requirements, and it does not tantalize your taste buds as what is being described and portrayed in his Facebook page..
I reported to the owner that there was plastic in the soup, and also hair was found in one of my dish, however he did not respond at all.

During my stay, the centre had stuffed in too many mothers and babies.
When I checked in I wasn't given the room I signed up for. No notification was given earlier even though I had already informed the owner more than one month earlier regarding my EDD.
Many other mothers have been treated the same way too (you don't get what you paid for)
Due to the exceeding intake, there was issue of understaff and there were many problems that arised. 11 babies + 11mothers : 3 maids.
So many days & nights we have to go downstairs to check on our babies because we are worried. Sometimes we took over the job of taking care of our own babies because of the shortage of manpower.

The newly brought in maids very much later were incapable and it made us even more worried to place our babies under their care.

Halfway through my confinement I have to go through the hassle of moving to his new centre due to his over-intake of customers.
New centre was not equipped and
we were transferred in in a hurry.
During the transition it was a really bad one. What he promised us earlier to assist us with our baggage and ferrying us over wasn't even done.
Our family members have to take the trouble to assist instead.
He also forced us to move over after sunset.
So, mothers in confinement supposed to be exposed to the chilly night air??
How about chills, headaches or bodily aches? You are on your own.
Lost your shoes during your stay here? - you are on your own too.. (lesson learnt - keep your outdoor shoes with you) who would ever thought that you need to be safekeeping your own outdoor shoes when you commit to stay indoors for 28days in a home?

His package :

1. Baby herbal bath-
He promised to provide herbal bath for babies, but the herbal packets were just for display. He will ask you to buy a type of spinach (Chan Choy) so the maids will boil the vege and bathe your baby. So, it's at your own cost, not provided as stated.

2. Breastfeeding encouragement -
Although stated encourage breast milk and there is a special compartment for keeping your milk, there is no special freezer as stated. Just a small fridge. You are required to get your family member to bring your milk home because he has NO SPACE to accommodate all mummies's milk all at once.
To add on, the maids has no proper knowledge on how to handle breast milk. Overheating breast milk and then cooling it back down again to feed your babies.

3. Five meals a day -
Mind you, if you take the sharing room or the single package, for the remaining few nights, you only have 4 meals. Your supper is cut short of and you have to bear with hunger for the remaining nights.

4. Monitoring mummies' blood pressure -
I have NEVER SEEN that device before.
Free up-scaling of blood pressure due to stress, maybe.

POST CONFINEMENT CONCLUSION -

Overall I do not enjoy the food or the stay here. It stressed most of the mummies of my batch.
Food isn't nutritious and not up to Chinese confinement standard.
Signing up for something cheaper at this centre isn't something worth it. Given a choice again, I rather spend a little bit more elsewhere that's more professional, ethical and reliable..
Whatever misfortune that happens during your stay, no one is liable.

Do you mind to inform when you stayed in?

Actually i did visited this center few months ago when doing research of confinement centers, i don't like the room and the house and no other space for you to roam around i mean sometime we are bore we want to have some walk around in the house but it seems like no space and only your room. Another thing is i feel not comfortable for the maids/foreigner to take care the baby without any local inside and the baby room is small. Overall i just not comfortable with this center even with the attractive price. Another issue like your case they are moving to new house again at end of this year and this make me a lot of doubts.

I stayed in from 21/7/2019 till 19/8/2019. To be exact it's 27 nights only, although we are supposed to observe fully the 28days&nights.

Yes, you are absolutely right, and he doesn't seem to encourage movements around the house. Mainly I think it's because he is afraid that mummies might start discussing topics about his centre and unite together against his wrong doings.

For your info, his centre maids are the only ones that are doing the job to take care of your baby, sending meals and cleaning your toilets and rooms.
So I doubt their hygiene. Imagine after washing your toilets and sweeping & mopping..full of sweat... And then carrying your baby and feeding him or her.

Not only that, during the night, they will give ur baby 'public' pacifier. Meaning this is a shared pacifier. U must be wondering how come I did not provide pacifier, but ur baby gets to suck on an unknown pacifier? The thought of it is disgusting.

According to him, he is planning to open more units at the Vantage Mahkota because of the increasingly lucrative market of the confinement industry. He's taking advantage of weak mummies and babies.

If he is doing a good job, I would have strongly recommended him. But unfortunately he is not operating up to confinement standard.
It is no difference from you hiring a foreign maid at your home without any confinement knowledge to help you for 28days.
During my stay here, there was no advice like how a confinement lady would do for you. To add on, you don't even get proper confinement meals. People say the confinement is the gold period for replenishing a mother's body.
My confinement is ruined by this centre.

Adding on, the maids do not know how to handle breast milk. Despite him disguising in the name of breast feeding encouragement. (see melted bottle from warmer)

The most disappointing thing is the boss' attitude. Really really nasty.
He is unable to accept comments. He will pull a long face at you and ignore answering your concerns.

Now I strongly believe that he deletes negative comments on his Facebook wall.
Look at the screenshot attached. He has deleted a customer's comment on his post regarding fake news. She had asked him to seriously consider his own doings.
He had claimed that many mummies were posting fake news about him.

So conclusion is, the Facebook page is controlled by him and he only allowed good comments, which had been the reason why we can only see so many good reviews on his centre.

He also had a bad reputation before when he used to operate as Yuan Yuan Confinement Centre few years back. Check out the links below. He was in the papers.

I do urge you to reconsider carefully if you would like to stay with them.
He is posing his attractive prices to lure you in, but in fact, after my stay, I feel it is rather expensive, and not worth the stay. I saw other confinement centres have better offers with activities for mothers and also teaches you on breastfeeding or have classes to get you going. I truly feel I have Wasted my gold period of recuperating in Culture Romance.

You have made the right choice..
The boss can really hard sale his stuff and make you convinced in the first place. But as you stay in, you will start to discover the bad things about him.
And I really do not believe that his herbs are as good as what he says.

Food is really of no quality, and won't help you to replenish your body.

Don't be fooled by his tongue.
All are total nonsense.
Empty promises.

He will trade your well-being for his own convenience sake.

Please go to his fb page to see more reviews from many of his ex customers.
