Hehehe...goes to shows that the one in control of the Batam center ferry terminal cannot control the place well enough as like the one who controls Harbour Bay ferry terminal.

One side took the extra cash collect for convenience as business profit so as to make things for the future better, the other side took it as part of the corrupted earning ,going into their own pocket and continue to deteriorate the future infrastructure,hehehe...who is wiser?

Thats if the brain is working for the one who implement and the one who takes the implementation.

End of the day, both tourists and locals gonna pay higher price or pay lower of inconvenience.

No need to solve the problem, one side will get worse over time, while the other keeps getting sustainable better. With hell around, people will then appreciate heaven.

Remember i said in the past, how long does one takes to get to their hotel upon stepping of arrival gate?

Hmm...i am looking for pork in Batam. And i can only find one stall that sells Pai Kuat Wang aka Braised Pork Ribs (in Chinese, its call Pai Gu Wang 排骨王),hehehe...


The only problem with this stall is the boss's attitude (and how he runs his business). But well, kind of no choice as there are no others like it. And not cheap too.

Been a few years since my last visit, might drop by that stall again on February 2020. Got a bunch of chef looking to try it,hehehe...

Believe me, i have done a run on anything pork in Batam. There are no Braised Pork Ribs except that stall. Let me know if you can find one,hehehe...i sure wouldnt mind trying.

I am already drooling while writing this post.


Anyway, what i find best may not be suitable for all.
