Hi ya bro, i have been there quite a few times, and by knowing the sequence of how these shops do business, one could easily calculate when they will start doing business and when they would closed. Like the Eatern food court fish soup shop,they are usually open during weekends (but close by early noon time). 1 weekend's earning equates to many days of the weekday. If you are in their shoes, you might problably choose to close during one or two of the weekdays and in the late noon too,hehehe....
The last time i was there was on November when i bring a small group of 3 aunties there. They bought quite a lot of things (shun kueh,peng kueh etc) before bringing them to Eatern food court (which was also very crowded) and i bought nothing becos the things the shop didnt sell my kind of food. I didnt know they sell cha kueh tho. Thats something new to me.
For myself, i prefer to go for the Bak Chow mushroom noodle at Bai Long.
I am a pork person, and i learned one thing about Batam's pork. The pork sold in Batam seems to be quite expensive...i dont like crowd, hence nowaday i order food from penuin/BCS area via Grab Food and have them delivered right to my hotel/room door step,hehehe... eating my kind of food in the kind of ambiance i like...Batam is indeed heaven!
By the way, Tua Po Ki food can be ordered via Grab food too,hehehe...yes, maybe overall about S$0.50 to S$1 more expensive, but i also have to factor in that i didnt have to take any transport to go there to buy nor to queue up with the weekend tourist crowd.
Hehehe...i am talking here as a Grab Food addict whereby i dont use mobile apps to do my order. So, i am physically looking at their food during my food order (with google translate/google search on the other tabs of my PC screen) in Batam.
*drooling* *slurp*

Huh? You mean no char Kuey in Tua Poh Ki?
Hmm...thats not good. Its one of my favourite food in Singapore, hence i was hoping to find at least ONE char kway store around those more easily access shop where i can conveniently get.
Anyway, its ok, there is always other favourites in that area of Batam. And i will continue to go look see.
Thanks for sharing.
