Make an apple to apple comparison of the same type of MP,they are definitely one of the best of its category, and definitely surpassing Indo-Thai in price value and girls.

I was however surprise by New Spa's standard of massage able to come close to Indo Thai. Talking about quality massage here,hehehe...

I followed Bro Nono's guide and reach Formosa w/o any issue. Tried King massage and pay school fees- not able to bargain down to 300K so settled at 400k with no.20. Had failed to bargain down with number 12 which intended to chop super big carrot of asking 1m from me and not willing to lower the price, so skip her after 2 hour massage.

Number 12 has a 'Daddy' feeding her on a monthly basis, hence you unlikely be able to get any lower price. Unless she is being dump or she is horny that day, you might be able to have a chance of a 400k to 500k fj.

Do note that we chat girls already cost between 350k to 600k per pop (with 350k being rare and 400k less uncommon).

Clever move for using the 50k 2 way taxi service. Really clever of you,hehehe... You actually forget something. You also get 10% off massage service when you are a member.

If you got yourself 2 x 2 hour massage,you should have saved 32k,hehehe...

If you read, phone number and its location no need me to spell out,hehehe...

Yes,not exactly necessary to get a sim card.

Hmm...you paid 1.1 million rupiah at Dynasty99? The Dynasty 99 beside Formosa hotel has closed down. Did you went to the other Dynasty99 near to NED area instead?

Diana Kuet Lapis also cannot miss, smell super nice and make me hungry on the spot. Btw Diana Kue Lapis are able to deliver to your hotel, price are 250k for original and 300k for prunes kue lapis.

Luckily you didn't tried 双凤 bak kut teh at the Nagoya Hill Mall,hehehe...its the worse among the rest of the shops with the same name. 双凤 has quite a few branches in Batam,aka franchise. The best one is at Astro food court downstairs of Astro Hotel.

Just a personal preference.

Cheers!
