Please be advise that at this place if you are eating there, you will be scoping your own rice and choose the dishes yourself. (rice & dishes portion up to you)

After you are done, get a seat and wait for the waitress/waiter/helper to come to your table and record the cost of your meal & drinks. They will then pass you a "receipt" to be paid at the counter before you leave.

Very affordable and delicious meal there. Like what Bro John said, Bros who takes Beef must try their Rendang..

I find the satays outside Sunda nice too.

Try their murtabak also. Surprisingly, I prefer theirs compared to singapore's.
Theirs is more gravy-ish and wetter. Unlike singapore very dry.

No worries about the procedures this makan place. I'll be there with bro Nono. One of my favourite makan place.

And i am thanking you for correcting me becos the power of execution was on your hand. You have the choice between execution w/o notification and nicely correcting what i didnt do right, but you choose to correct me. This, i learned and i thank you for it.

Dont worry about it,i understand your concern and know where you are coming from. I would have totally ignored your posting if i am offended as i DO NOT reply to posting/s that would instigate a quarrel or those that would stir up negative emotion which may likely lead to a fight/argument. In fact,the good thing about forums is i can reply anyone as and when i like to or even dont reply at all and the excuse/s could be as simple as "i missed your post" or "i forget" etc,but it would be rude if its on facebook, wechat ,watapp ,msn etc,hehehe...and i reply to postings base on its urgency too,so at most time i take my time in each reply in case you havent already notice,hence i try to always make sure i am not replying anyone base on any quick emotional impulse.

All i can say is one type of rice can feed many kind of people. In real life,everyone is different,so are the people on the internet world. I learned to accept that.

Lets take a look from another angle of view which is not from the point of the forum's regulation. Under the copyright law,we are not suppose to advertise or bring about a full details of an establishment w/o 1st seeking permission from the business owner and its partner. When one put up FULL details of another establishment,sometime it may accidentally do more harm than good depending on the nature of the business.

For most things i do,i try not to go to the extreme (max) or even attempt to reach perfection.I leave behind some allowance for future maneuvering. Sorry,i know i sibei loh soh again...lol.

I think you are one of the few good guys who contribute quite substantially to this thread on a regular basis.To be honest,I learned quite a lot from your postings. And me? I mainly "steal" from others like you,analyse the main key beneficial factors and later compiled them with my own words,which sometime result in those who read my posts mistakenly thought it was my original contribution,hehehehe....

Just look at most of the food posts you guys recently made,have they already sank far far behind into this thread from last month and the month before? If you havent yet notice,i have been summing up a lot of information on Batam food recently,hehehe...and yes,they have already been bookmarked for the future Batam Food List. While everyone is doing the tcss,question answering and asking stuffs about Batam. i am quietly working behind the scene in this thread "collecting" information aka "stealing" (really depends on how one look at it)...

And i have say this before,most if not all my posts in this thread are Batam information-related,so i need to show you a small sample of what i have been working on in this thread.

Here's a tiny incomplete sample of some of my unfinished work in this thread and its going to take me quite a while to finish my whole project as i dont plan to rush (maybe finish in 2016..lol) :

The above platform are just draft and are likely be used for the Batam Food List,hehehe....and i am also creating my very own "personal cheonging list" beside just having that regular cheong list which i update monthly.My new "personal cheong list" aims to encourage bros to share FRs be it they have good experience or not. So that i can continue to "steal" new up-to-date vital information,hehehe... Anyway,the above are just baby step 1,hehehe...who knows i may end up NATO (no action,talk only)...lol.

I cannot promise anything here.

Sorry, have to do a correction here as I re-look thru the bill for 1 jug of beer in Permata Indah. It costs Rp130k.......thus, Alishan is cheaper at Rp98k if the two free jugs taken into account...and if 1 free jug, Alishan price is same as Permata Indah.
