Batam Info Thread

To all senior bros!

Is the massage ('special') at the Hills at Batam good? Beside this massage outlet, any other massage with 'special' around Nagoya hill area? Need advice as going over tomorrow. 😁

Perhaps, he wants to create a legitimate reason to visiting "Ella" very soon again (he should be in Batam now as I write) - LOOOOL!!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the summary. Is great to read, in-summary, someone enjoying at levels consistently available to all - costs, venues, timings, and in a group with disparate OTOTs too.

@Nono & @micmac

Back to Sg this morning and now sitting in office working..

My hair is naturally thin, so it doesn't seem much had been done. But, nonetheless, I'm still happy with the overall service.

Yesterday, mysteriously ended up at CityWalk when trying to walk to Indah2 to pick up my pre-booking. Alas.. Ella wasn't around in the salon.

Mission Impossible is being shown in the theatre in Batam already. But, didn't manage to catch it as my girl didn't wear anything long, don't want her to be shivering in the theatre. Anyway, have already arranged with another bro here to catch the movie next month.

Yesterday's trip started well, but ended disastrously due to my having to catch the early ferry. (Note to self: no more rushy 2D1N trip)...

Will wake up v.early purposely to try BaiLong , and day-after BeiLong. Do the twin-Dragons shootout.

Planning for another trip at the end of the month.
I see the bbq stingray, i feel like going there to eat seafood.
And I miss ibu joko's delicious food

[nono1973]

Hehehehe...Da Vienna Boutique Hotel finally drop its hotel room price to below Formosa hotel from dates after Sillypore Nation Day Super Long weekend. Interesting...looks like every good price require some patience.Oh,the pricing below are from booking.com,so its tax inclusive,hehehe...but this hotel is about 1000 steps away from Formosa Hotel,hmm....

Da Vienna Boutique Hotel

I have been eyeing at the junior suite bath tub for a very longggggg....time.....,hehehe.....its the only thing that catches my eyes in this hotel but its gonna cost S$72.

Maybe...just maybe...any site would likely offer a lower price? I dont know...i know i will keep watching....eyeing for the best for least and yet at my convenience. Patience...patience...patience...its afterall still pretty much a new hotel.

Just taking some notes here for my next Batam trip on Aug.

[miumiu6464]

But, they are nearer to Permata Indah (and that means Winsor Food Court) than Formosa. So, for bros with regular girls from PI will find this hotel ideal.

Guess this mood also helps to serve customers better.
I thought they are lazy at first, but they are very willing to serve and help if you approach them.

A happy customer service person usually serves their customer better.

I believe in sincerity when it comes to customer service.

Sorry bro,personal list as stated is,Personal. I am not going to let any reckless Green Bean Soup gamers mess with those on MY personal private list,hehehe.... (i wasnt referring to you).

Join me in my Sept or Oct group trip,i might just let you peep into some of them,hehehe...but each place from my list we visit will cost you one bottle of teh botel,ok?

Try going on weekdays to narrow down the available angels,hehehe...you will find her.Since i notice she works mostly weekdays,chances are weekdays she will be off.

You will need to wait till i am ready to organize another group trip which is likely on Sept or Oct (maybe Nov). Do keep a look out in this Batam Info thread for the group trip itinerary if you are really keen. All who are new to Batam are welcome to PM me then (when itinerary is out),but not all will be selected to join me due to the limited car seats available. I dont organize group trip to Batam every month too. (when things becomes a commitment,routine or a job/duty,it will become boring,hehehe...)

There are terms and conditionsto comply to during the trip too. Do take some time to read them or you can read the links on my signature to get to know more about my other trips in Batam. Batam is also a place where anyone can go solo. Its almost like going to Sentosa except you need a passport. One does not need to be in a group to go Batam too.

Cheers!

Operating hours : 1600-2000hrs (closes even earlier once the fish is gone)
GPS : N 1°8'0.2688", E 104°1'56.0676"
Landmark : Musholla & TPQ Al-Jihad, Komplex Aku Tahu 2, Sungai Panas
Speciality : Banana-leaf covered fish BBQ.

Food : 4/5
Value : 4.5/5

Conclusion : Strongly Recommended place. The BBQ fish is fantastic. The BBQ Stingray is out-of-this-world and sells out way too fast. *SUPER popular* dinner spot to locals due to price value. Their Soto Ayam is very very good value. Short operating hours.

Looks like a nice place for stingray (one of the few fishes that i can eat)...reminds me long time ago,beside Lucky Plaza,there used to be a zhi char that does good tasting stingray,but they moved off when the booking joint new berlian moved.

Looks like the closest hotel to Anah is Zia Hotel....its like in the middle of nowhere (real good tasting food are always like that).

Thank you for sharing.

I raise 2 hands and 2 legs to agree on this one.

When i was kid,i was told if i go any part of Indonesia,whenever i am being quoted a certain price w/o a menu (menu with price tag),i need to slash their quoted price by at least 50% to 60% 1st before i even start to bargain...lol,otherwise it will be carrot head pricing. I was a small kid...lil bro cannot even stand up back then,so i dont visit Health Center or MP,hehehe...

My best chicken rice goes to Budi Siang Malam at Penuin Wet market :

To me,its Batam's BEST,cos so far couldnt find anything that comes close to it :

http://www.picturevip.com/x/clean/im...08/04/86Cb.jpg

I still prefer chicken rice with pineapple favor,hehehe...

I like the pineapple favor chicken rice also at the penuin wet market there.

1 of the best in btm.

He got their best rate...at 9750/SGD. I still have the best rate and i shared with them my techniques to always get the BEST too. I also checked Harbour Bay rate in their presence too (which is 9650/SGD).

Gd job!

Hi samsters, in batam now.

Sorry I'm a newbie and I've read all you bro's comments.

Will be here till Sunday. Wondering if there are any nice seafood places?

Also, we are planning to visit the fuck houses tomorrow to book girls but can't find the addresses.

Anyone can help out? So so sorry!

Thanks a lot !

Best Sea Food known in the history of this thread :

Rezeki

Best Sea Food known recently in this thread over the last few months :

Marine Live Sea Food + Marine Live Sea Food

Other lesser known Sea Food but were tested to be good :

Red Crab, another of their sub branch.

Kelong Restaurant Aneka Rasa

Do remember i am stating the above w/o knowledge on which part of Batam you are staying in,so some places is gonna be far away.

Booking Joint List :

July Cheong List

You do not need address,becos most taxis/ojeks cant find the place even when name cards are shown to them. You need landmarks of the actual place.

Its a super long weekend,you will need all the luck you have to get good girls. Lower your expectation,always bargain down the price. (my common advise to all newbies)

Lastly,do some reading.

Enjoy!

* above are just personal perspective and consolidated information.

[CelestialBeing]

Nono bro, now that most of the joints around Formosa has closed down, would u still recommend it as the best place to stay for newbies? Any other hotel that has a few joints around them?
