Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Gogo supermarket on the basement.ground floor of Harbour Bay Mall. Most things are cheap there (cheaper than Hypermart/K-Mart etc) and believe me,when i say cheap,its really cheap... (tho i cant say everything is cheap there tho)


...the only problem i have with this supermarket is that things tends to sell out fast and when they are sold out,its kind of difficult to see them restock...i learned that my Luwak coffee i was buying over the last few months was completely sold out,hehehe...i bought their last remaining ones.


...even the Mama Suka sambal chilli is almost gone too...hehehe...last few packs available. By now,it should have been gone.


And the few of the food stores just opposite Gogo supermarket...


...Burger Boy cart (selling nice burgers) is also there too.

Wey Wey Coffee shop (2nd floor of Harbour Bay Ferry terminal,behind Malaya Cafe) tho opened for business, doesnt attract too many customers during the day.


...and i finally caught a photo shot of the new official Harbour Bay ferry terminal Taxi stand,which is diagonally opposite Marriot Hotel.


Do take note to look at the taxi stand sign board closely,there's a much smaller letter words that says..."30000 rupiah for the destination in the yellow zone". Below photo is about 4.97mb,the original photo size of the taxi stand sign above which is unedited. So, click on the spoiler at your own risk to view the full photo.

Old taxi stand that used to be just outside Harbour Mart no longer there but there are still taxi/ojek touts there. Their asking price however no longer as high as ever but still, there will be some who would try their luck with unsuspecting tourist,asking for 50k rupiah or more price.

Hehehe...i just put the below link on my signature,hehehe...
