I shall be spending new years eve at Batam. Anyone can advise:
1. Good spot to watch fireworks which I heard murmer that Formosa boss spend a lot on every year.
2. A good gynae. A friend asked me this since he heard of my recent trip to Batam. (No, my friend =/= me) His gf there is 1 months plus pregnant, or so he thought. Understand that good might not be cheap, he's looking for affordable. He earn just shy of $2k each month and don't have much savings.
3. More great food places. Now, my top of the list is seagull and Ikan bakar Acia for good and affordable food.

1. Yes, Formosa is a very good spot. The boss spend several tens of juta putting up fireworks display every year. My fave spot is just in front of Tea Story.
2. For an affordable and decent gynae, you can ask your friend to go to RS Elisabeth. It is one of the more affordable yet decent hospitals in Batam. Try Dr. Dino, he practises there in the morning and he also has his own clinic in the Kepri Mall area. His clinic is next to Vista KTV there.
If your friend has more budget,the best gynaes can be found in RS Awalbros. Price-wise is about 40% more than RS Elisabeth. Basis consultation + ultrasound + administration fee is about 350-400k per visit; meds & supplements will of course be at an extra cost.
3. For good and affordable breakfast & lunches, Pasar Mitra Raya is always a good bet. There are at least 8 good-sized coffeeshops there with lots of comfort food like fried carrot cake, you tiao, BKT (white or herbal), bakchor mee, 小碗面, chicken rice and many many many other selections. That area is like a Little Medan and many of the stalls are helmed by Indochinese.
