No,there will not be 2 summaries from the same month,but on and off i may just post something from 'that trip'. Reason as in all the info in that trip werent something new. They are mostly repeated places i have been to with a different occurrence.

I have had other trips in the same month before,most of which i just take note and do a bookmarking for my next summary so that some certain info i need to take note on will be noted there.

1st day's early dinner at Nagoya Hill Mall and it was a little crappy :


The photo i took above,non of its package was available on that evening when we were there. Their signage outside is just for show only. The special promotion were suppose to be from a certain time to a certain time,but the timing of it were nowhere to be found. End of the meal,it cost us around 375k. Food taste was pretty alright,a little above average but well,for that kind of pricing,i believe anywhere else out of Nagoya Hill Mall would be better.

And by the way,there are only 2 table of customers during dinner time (whereas other restaurants nearby has more open tables). This place deserves to have no business and i manually wrote in my displeasure in the given suggestion form after our meal. If it ever get thrown into the bin,then it would be their lost. Luckily i didnt have to pay for my meals becos those aunties pays for it,hehehe...otherwise my heart will be bleeding.

The moon cake there is not cheap either. Please note that i am comparing the pricing against Crystal Jade Palace restaurant in Sillypore where ex President SBY and ex President Makanwati often frequent whenever they go to Sillypore. The prices of Crystal Jade is just a few dollar higher,hence i am calling this Maystar Restaurant moon cake expensive.


The aunties seems to like Nagoya Hill Mall...i mean since i told them its the biggest restaurants in Batam,hehehe...one of their more memorable comment "...so many shops selling the same thing"...anyway,i brought them to BCS the next day,they preferred BCS mall to Nagoya Hill Mall becos of the more local spirit there. But only in City Walk Mall that they bought a whole luggage-load of stuffs back to Sillypore,hehehe... (they also spent quite a lot at BCS mall too,but bought nearly nothing in Nagoya Hill Mall)

These aunties used to frequent Jakarta and Medan,so they do know their stuffs (especially prices)...one of them even speak understandable bahasa too.

I am preparing for my upcoming CNY 2017 Batam now,hehehe...my priority.
