Minuman sarang burung Wa – Rup. 120K = Bird’s nest drink/beverage Wa (whatever Wa means!)
Thank you for translating,bro.

Ok,so that 120k in the bill is Bird's Nest,hehehe...next trip i can skip that item.

Maybe you repeat/post up ALL your guides and summary on it? Then when anybody ask anything already replied to in your summary, easy for you and everybody else to just reply “Go To page 1973 on this thread!” LOL
Its a good idea,but not exactly feasible. I have about 12 to 13 summaries in total,a basic guide and a List that require monthly update.

Each summary contain an average of more than 30k words and on average takes up about 5 posts due to the 4 photos and 10k words limitation in one single post.

So when each page can take up to 15 posts,so 12 summaries (12 x 5 posts) + 1 guide + 1 Batam Cheong List will be 62 posts.

And if all 62 posts were being copied and paste to new posts,it will take up from page 1973 to 1977 = nearly 5 pages of this thread. If i were to do that i will need to 1st reserve 62 posts of space in this thread with the word RESERVED,and then the forum's anti-spam function will set in to stop me for repeating each post with the same word.(most forums deem repeated posting of the same content as spam)

i gave it a 2nd thought again and come up with another method,that is to turn each summary,all 12 or 13 of them,plus the list and guide into jpeg picture format to squeeze them into page 1973(or even one single post). But the repercussion will be the whole of page 1973 will be stretching from north pole to south pole (it would likely be the longest post/page in internet forum history),who would want to read such a post/page? Hehehe... worse still,if picture files are too many or so big,the page 1973 will appear to be lagging and disrupt proper reading ,and at any point if it disrupts the function of the thread or forum due to its gigantic content,very likely it be removed. My effort will then be wasted,hehehe...

Conclusion : not feasible.

Thank you for your explanation. Save me all the trouble to go google to translate the whole receipt word by word.

I wonder how's business in this restaurant since their pricing are on such high side in Batam term. If i were to pay this restaurant a visit, it will likely be just a one time thing but the least is ,its mostly non-sea food,hehehe... and i believe most local Chinese there only visit it on special occasion. (to me,their pricing are very close to Sillypore)

Base on whats on the receipt,it should be dinner time. Maybe lunch/breakfast time will be different pricing.
