Re: Batam Info Thread
Hey guys.. Im new to this forum and hope to learn more about you guys experience in batam with you all.
Quite new to going to batam but been there few times with my group of friends. So cut it short, i'm travelling there on 4th july to 6th july, 3d 2n, purpose to chill and drink. Never did this before because usually book girls from fish tank straight with my group of friends. But this time ard im going alone. So my plan to reach batam ard 3-4pm. Check in to either goodway,harmoni or pacific hotel.After that eat late lunch with my driver(I usually get this guy to drive me ard). Will head to kampong bule for happy hours till late. Than ard 11pm will head to pafific-ship disco to end my night there. Hoping to hook up with fl if not go back and sleep. My purpose is only go drinking. Any comments cause it will be my first time going to batam disco.. Also welcome anybody to join drinking together. Im not very worried abt language barrier coz I can talk malay or indon.. for safety purpose, my frens have contacts of high ranking police there..so I feel preety safe gg to disco. .hope to hear from you all and get good kakis for drinking..cheers |

I don't really find indo food cheap tho it isn't considered expensive,but their street food are mostly good. I dare rate their street food at 7/10 or higher on average,and shopping mall food at about 6/10 on an average scale. The worst Bak Kut teh in Batam i tried is in Nagoya Hill Mall 2nd floor. At the food court behind Relax Massage,i was curious why their plain roti prata is selling at 9k rupiah (S$1.00) during my 4th trip,and on my 5th trip i went to tried it out of curiosity and it cost me 27k when the bill arrived. I ordered 2 plain roti prata and i didnt know they charge for sauce with some small portion chicken pieces in their curry. On average it is cheaper than in sillypore,but if i minus off the chicken pieces i didn't touch in that meal,it is more expensive. And i finally understand why the plain roti prata cost 9k...it is becos the prata size is BIG!! Almost twice the size of what i'd see in sillypore prata store. Quote:

I don't actually understand how come Batam Bak Kut Teh store can actually boil their Bak kut teh soup to be like the Bah Chok Mee store in Sillypore. You know those type when they serve you the soup that time,it isn't boiling in their soup appearance,but you will still be able to see the particles inside the soup moving as if it is boiling. And when you taste the soup,there seems to be 2 layer heat in that soup. 1st taste of the soup,it's not so hot,but after leaving the soup in my mouth of another 1 or 2 seconds,there is another layer heat in the soup which is hotter than the 1st taste...and that is the FINAL bak kut teh soup taste. My little observation here. |

although indonesian is the biggest muslim country in the world (from the number of the peoples), but indonesia is not a real muslim country. indonesia doesn't apply syariah law. (i don't know about aceh though). unlike malaysian, if a muslim was caught eating non-halal food, or eating at non-halal restaurant, or drinking, they will get caught by police. That doesn't applied in indonesia. any muslim can dine-in in chinese restaurant. police won't question. Not all the non-chinese are muslim. unlike malaysian, many tribe of native indonesian are actually majority in christian or chatolic. for example, batak, balinese, flores, maluku or moluccas, etc. and there are also many javanese or other majority muslim tribe, whose are actually christians. especially in batam, the number of non-muslim is also quite big.. in other country, this may not allowed, i mean for muslim to converted to non-muslim, but in indonesia we have constitutional law that recognize the freedom of the right to choose any religion that they want. |
