I find that many black carrot cakes in Batam were mostly sweeter compare to the common ones in Singapore (black to black), hence most of them were not to my liking. So in Batam, i mainly take the white ones only and the most suitable ones so far for myself were from Formosa Hotel Vienna Restaurant, during breakfast time.
Tea Story also has carrot cake but no...the taste not suitable for me. There is one few seconds walk from the Bai Long Bak Chok stall at the Penuin wet market which is not too bad tho.
If you are around Ji Long noodle shop, nearby a few hundred meters away there is also another Mickey Mouse Bak Kut Teh, i think they are as good as the one near Lucky Plaza if not better.
My number 1 place for noodles comes from the noodle shop near Meximo Pub and Botak Chun noodles,hehehe....so far i have brought many Singaporean there (no less than 200 people) no one says their noodles were not good. Almost all of them would choose to returned-to-eat whenever they visit Batam on their own,hehehe...
Come to think of it, most of which i brought there were mainly hawkers (in Singapore for few decades) and coffee shop stall owners, a big handful of them which were quite popular for the food they sells in Singapore and i am a bit surprise they give Batam food such high ratings,hehehe...

Really didnt expect you to patronize those shops in the Penuin wet market,hehehe...those were Singapore auntie and uncle's favourite spot,hehehe...perhaps i have been moving around quite a bit, but not all the things there were cheaper compared to shopping malls. I tell that to aunties and uncles but they STILL like to shop there. I think its the ambiance of the good old Chinatown or People's Park of the past that makes them feel more comfortable there.

Yes, its weekends. I believe even if its in JB or Singapore, it would have been quite similar too.
Which is why i try to skip weekend trips to Batam.
