Your food post has been bookmarked,hehehe...actually my favorites were mostly pork. Chicken were just an alternative to pork.

Whats the meaning of Bawang? I try looking at it using google but it says it means Garlic? What so good about Garlic?

In my personal perspective,i didnt blacklist Delta Spa. More of for myself and maybe even newbies To Avoid,especially those who didnt know what exactly they were doing upon entering a certain entertainment premises. I am sure most people who wish to buy an apple will like to 1st know how much the apple would cost before deciding if they would wish to purchase it. Most Sillypore newbies going to Batam would be too shy to turn down a not-so-good deal due to the lack of understanding of their business culture.

Anyone can still go Delta,anyone can have good or not-so-good review on that place,but for me,to have it in my to-avoid-list is just a signal to those who wish to venture there to be Wary as there could be possible "traps" that would hurt one badly if they are not careful enough.

Base on what you have shared and written,i can see that you are experience in other parts of the Indonesia cheonging scene,..knows what you are after or that if you are being taken for a ride by a certain business entity in the country. Its good to have you around to test out Batam Delta Spa and sharing how good/bad the place is.

The massage in Delta Spa isnt exactly no good,but its their business culture that they were MORE into Forcibly-hard-Selling tactics that i have to added this place into my to-avoid-list on my signature. Delta Spa Batam reminds me when my GF in Sillypore has to call me for help when she was "pulled" into the Yun Nam Hair Saloon in Sillypore for a S$20 promo deals where the sales person later refuse to let her go UNLESS she signs up for a certain few thousand dollar package. We nearly have to call the police to have the situation resolved. Not a present experience tho and i have this almost similar feeling when i am in Batam Delta Spa.

Sincerely thank you for your honest sharing.

*I have also bookmarked your FR on Delta Spa too. At least its a decently good FR with proper details which i find very much more reliable.

Crowds always spells trouble.
Avoid the weekends,go on a weekday. I dont like to rush and compete with another even on a Rest and Relax time. From the timing i eat,to the timing i pick my girl till my massage time,i am always against all odds. Thats why going to the place at the right time is very crucial to me whenever i travel to Batam. Something i am always AIMING for in my every Batam trip (even for CNY),hehehe...

It is very near HANA hotel. Less than 5 mins walk.
Hehehe...next time you found any rundown massage shop that has a Family word on their sign board,let me know.There could sometime be hidden treasures.

My motto in Batam,going for the BEST for LEAST.
