Example,you will read from the Batam List there are 10 booking joints. But most will only see the "normal" girls when they are there if they dont know which "button" to press,hehehe...and i play clues on these "buttons". Find the "buttons",hit it and you get to see those behind the curtain,hehehe...:D Not all joints has a button tho,maybe becos i havent find them yet.

(i know you know where the buttons are,but most newbie wouldnt)

Example 2,you see many who read actually flood to Keyza or Indo Rasa now. But i am guessing you missed those who reviewed the not-so-good part on the 2 places recently.Hehehe...yes,thats becos they hit the wrong "button" when they stepped in. And people only likes to read and hear good things,most will skip the not-so-good FRs or information that are lesser informative. Thats where people tends to miss those "button".

(buttons here can means a person's mindset,interaction skill,experience etc..dont wish to really spell out too much)

I still share w/o the need to hide. i have been warned to be extra careful when sharing information of more in depth details on good places and those who warned me are right,i should be more careful (actually i always am,i kiasu ma...lol). Indo Rasa is one of the test bait and its part of the whole Basic Batam guide for newbies staying around Formosa Hotel. Testing,testing 123,hehehe....

(bros who forewarned me in 2014 before,you know who you are and i thank you)

Hotel 89 is next to Peniun area.. Can be considered the Chinatown of Batam... Mostly Chinese there, food, shops all Chinese. And the only one that sell pork nearby. Others that sell pork are not so open


The famous Bai Long is at that place too. Infront of hotel 89, if you see the canal, follow all the way is HAI OW home based restaurant. Closed on Thursday only, open for business about 545 Pm local time. Cheap n good food.

There is a Holland bakery near that area too... next to the astro hotel coffee shop, there is a ba kut kay too... shuang feng.... IMHO, Holland bakery is good, much better than most others in batam. Price is abit more steep, but quality is assured.

And the mall BCS, A2 foodcourt is in vicinity as well.

Massage in that area are mostly clean, Universal, Bunga, etc.. However, there is one that has specials that's behind in the shop houses... old birds may know where I am referring to.

Infront of Peniun market, or rather behind( Indo thai massage) is a number of hang bag shops... distribution n whole sale.

Overall, this area has a number of hotels from middle grade to High end( I-Hotel, new one), BCS apartment, Gideon hotel. Low end of cos is the peniun hotel above the market.


Overall, this place ideal for those who want to have a break away from city style life and more relax/ old style pace of life area. Many of my friends frequent here for breakfast, n gatherings. Life is easy going where u can hear many gossips, n so on. However, after 2 pm, peniun market is rather dead, n the happenings are the BCS mall, n makan at EATON, A2.
