woah nono bro , u already explore that much bro O_O
even im alrd at batam for half year still dont know dat much lhe
)
i can give you all information about Kue lapis or layers cake
as you guys know , kue lapis is one of the gift from batam "Oleh-Oleh" we local said .
1.To buy kueh lapis , most important point is to try the free sample they give us. Mostly shop in nagoya hill or other shopping mall had sample
2. to make sure the Quality of kueh lapis is same with the sampler, Some shop give better and tastier sampler . recommended to buy small (half portion) so you can try it right there.
3.Never buy the lapis from Taxi or Tour !!! Many kue Lapis in Batam giving commision !! Some of them giving about $2 - $7 for each Kueh Lapis !! the normal place average is about Rp 150.000 - Rp 200.000 for Original one !!
4. Buy it from the store that sell only Kueh lapis , not some restaurant or bread store selling em.
For your information , many store in Batam buy kue lapis from single baker and sell with higher price , dat "single baker" didn't open store, they focus on reseller and send some to singapore.
