Re: Batam Info Thread

Did a trip a couple of weeks ago. Needed a good urut after weeks of traveling. my badan/body is in bad condition. Took a 12.15 ferry and remembered i forgot a room. Booked Biz hotel to try. Irp380K (superior) from Booking, before ferry departs from pier.

About to arrive and saw the sky, about to rain. Not again!!!! Got to immigration. While queuing, a Sgp guy in front phone rang. He answered his phone and got Scolded by immigration officer. SO please remember guys, Don't Talk, Don't use your phone and No picture taking!!!

Cleared custom and rain stop!! Walked out towards the Mall and got a cab for Irp35k to Biz hotel. Got to the recept & gave my booking details but theu say got no booking. Haiz yah... Told them i just booked 1hr while i was in the ferry, asked them to check email from Booking.com... 1st time staying in Biz. Got my room, nice and clean, A/C super cold! But No bathtub (Nono pse note).

Drop my stuff and hunger for Nasi Padang!! Target to try Warong Ibu Joko from the recommendation i saw here. So set off to walk there, am new to the area and roughly know its near Goodway hotel (Never been there also). Just "aga aga" walk. Walk until rain again. Changed s$100 along the way & got Irp980k. Took me almost 25mins to get to Goodway Hotel. Ask the "jaga" outside where's Warong Ibu Joko and found it in 1min.

Took what ever that appeals to be as i was super hungry and greedy. Satay (Chic&Kambing), beef rendang, ayam goreng, Teloh, Corn fritters & a cup of copi.Irp35k. Burp!!!

This is the place buffet line.


My buffet line looks different from Nono's. Or did i eat at the wrong place??? Everyone is local except me there.

Anyway, the Beef rendang is good.

Then walk a bit more and found Sports Massage. Request for 1hr traditional massage. She asked me whether i want strong or Power masseur? I said "Power" & may extend later!!! After 5mins, told my masseur to extend another 30mins & gave her the top up amount. Told her to focus on body massage.

All i can say is massage damn "Power"!!! Got a little unexpected "bonus" at the end too. Changed and didn't see her again, so gave tip to the "floor-manager" there and ask her to pass it to my syt massuer. Will follow-up & see what more can i get next trip. Price is at the higher end 1hr Irp130k & 1.5hrs Irp190K. Body felt readjusted, probably need another 1hr to fully recover. I'm the type that need those deep tissue massage type. I love massage and can go for massage daily (min 2hrs) when i'm traveling.

Took a slow walk and discover NED & girls are just starting to report NED. Heading to Lucky Plaza to buy a local mobile SIM. Got back to Biz as i wanted to try the Epok epok in the Kopitiam next door but store (Swees) close.

Took a shower and text the girl i met from Matahari during my last trip. Agree to meet after her work at NHC. Got out and walk around Nagoya Citywalk. Quite a sad place. Not much people there. Business is.... This place has more employees then customers there. Maybe its a weekday. Except for "Hair saloon". Haha... Saw the saloon while recce around.

Left this place after 10mins and headed to NHC. Its was a already abt 7+pm then. Along the way, something unfortunate happened (Will mention abt this later). Along the way, was trying to see if there's anything good to makan. Saw the Ikan Bakar at hotel kopitiam but i plan to have this later with the "date".

Had a simple Ayam Penyet & Sup Assam (no more) from Kosek in NHC and scout around for Bat charger. Met the girl and we went for supper along the street side stalls at the back of NHC. Ordered Ikan & sotong Bakar, satay and drinks. Chit chat a bit and found out she's 20yo & from somewhere near Bandung. invited her to chill at hotel roof top bar. She was excited as she never been there. But she said it's late and she needs to get back. Told her to have a quick drink and enjoy the view since its near by.

Took a taxi and asked her to nego Irp30k. Arrived and brought her up to #11. Ordered her a juice and she was impress with the view. After sometime the Bar is closing so i told her come to my room to chill and enjoy the A/c for a while. Got into the room and she said the room is nice. Took a while for her to accept my advances and yes the A/c and comfortable bed helps alot. Could tell she is not experience in sexual matters and not keen on BJ. Had a morning wake up session, before she left for her place. She didn't ask for money but i gave her Irp500k for transport and told her to buy something she likes. (yes, i don't believe in free lunch.)

Showered and walk to Instar to try the Mee Pansit but closed. So tried the Sup ayam there. Needed to changed money to buy some Medication from Apotek so went to Fx opp Farmosa. Was asking her for Irp985K but she said no. Nego till i got Irp983K for S$100. Went back to hotel to pack and tried the epok next door. Not v nice. Epok Skin too thick. Checked out and took the free shuttle to NHC. Told the driver to stop me at Relax went to have a foot massage 1.5hrs. went to NHC again after massage to see if i can get new mobile numbers.

Bought the Goreng Pisang to snak with a cup of copi. Guys must try this. Cost Irp3-4K only.



Chillax there for a while and took the cab Irp40 to Habourbay.

High Point of trip:
Scored with sales assistant. Like the trill of "open-fishing". Got my stuff (Med) and cost savings (if bought in Sgp) probably covered my ferry ride there. The massage cost (if done in Sgp) in batam probably saved me enough to cover me the hotel cost.

Low point of this trip.
As mentioned early when i was walking from Nagoya Citywalk to NHC during the night ard 7+pm. I saw a little kitten (few weeks old) walking weakly on the road and got run over by a SUV 1.5m right in front of me. The SUV even stop right on top of the kitten to ask me what happened when he heard screams from people. I told him there's a kitten he ran over below his wheel. He got out to look and i walked away feeling very sad hoping i could do something to prevent this.

Thanks for reading. Happy Ventures and be safe!
