Teh Jahe (ginger tea) - Greenland's beat Joy by a huge gap. They grind their own ginger - solidly strong. Joy's obviously those satchet types (taste).

Proximity to food - Joy (obviously) located in BCS mall. Greenland, near De'Sampan (the steamed otak - Bolok) and ABC BBQ Seafood resto.

Price wise : Greenland's cheaper than Joy *but* Greenland's not situated in touristy area.

Finally : Greenland is very popular with locals. Advanced-Booking is basically required to avoid disappointment - especially weekends.


ENJOY (the P.A.I.N.) !!
Greenland sounds interesting.. I wonder how it compares to my all-time fave massage place in the world, Sport Massage...

I'm a huge huge fan of Sport Massage; all the masseurs are pint-sized but they are damn strong and skillful... 250k for 2hrs traditional massage may be slightly on the high side for batam pricing, but is still ridiculously cheap compared to the rest of the world, and I still have not found a massage anywhere that is as good as Sport Massage's...
