Car been clamped 3 times in a month at 3 different places.
Hope it won’t happen again.

First, went to temple.
We all prayed (i guessed).
Then, went to Polo Ralph Lauren showroom.
According to the tour guide, this is the original and cheapest one.
But not fancy of it, so..
I bought nothing.

After this, went to Golden Beach (still under constructions actually).
Few activities available, such as flying fox (that you won’t feel to play), go kart (small field) and Cheng Ho Cruise (still not started operating yet).

No one wanna joined any activities.
And other than go kart, no public is joining any of the activities as well.

At the same place, Golden Beach, there’s Batam Folk Culture Villages Miniature.
That is actually the traditional house maniature of 27 provinces from Indonesia.
Among all these, they’re similar and particular malay houses, slight different design.
Except this one:

Province Irianjaya R. Kariwari

After all these ’sight-seeing’.
Time to shop for the local food of Batam.
Same as previous, i bought nothing.
Then went for lunch at the seafood restaurant next door.
Nice cooking and seasoning but the seafood is just..
Lil too small…
No photos capture as the whole group were eating like hungry ghosts (dislike eating at the same table with strangers!).

Makan-ed, proceed to the nearby cultural performance.

Cultural dance (i guess).

Hmmm… (lion dance?!)

Peeling the coconut shell by teeth..

Eating charcoal.

Eating glasses.

Jumping through the fire ring.

We needed to give tips to the performers, ha…

Went to another temple again.
Same thing, we prayed.
And the city tour is ‘officially’ ended.
But we requested to go to Nagoya, the only best shopping mall in Batam (the local said).
And we are truly disappointed with it.
Bought only one shirt that cost around S$2, ha…
Had dinner there.

Iced Cendol (not-so-nice, especially the cendol).

Tuna Bolognese Spaghetti (have no idea why there’s spring onion sprinkled on top).

Done, went back for spa.

Sound like bluffing, but it really works.

Ate lunch at Uncle’s Kitchen, Bugis.

Uncle’s Fried Rice – nice but fried rice slightly too ‘plain’..

Nasi Bojari – i dislike basil rice..

Went to Harbourfront to take ferry.

There was a star cruise there, so HUGE!!

Super Star Virgo, my future trip, haha..

While waiting for the boarding time, had drink at Black Canyon Coffee.

Iced Thai Tea in cold cup of Black Canyon Coffee.

Heading to Sekupang, Batam.

The islands next to Singapore, view from Batam.

Was kinda late when arrived in the villa.
Had very simple and not-so-nice dinner that ordered from the coffee house.

Quick snap of few photos before entering to room.
As i was not planning to go out anymore except for spa.

My first day of Batam trip ended up with a 90-minute spa package.
This is the most satisfied enjoyment here.

I have already planned to go Batam Island, Indonesia.
And i’ll be flying to Singapore soon.

Holidays.
Shopping (if there is any).
Beaches (if it’s nearby).
Diving (if i still have money).
Seafood.
Reflexology.
Spa.

Waiting for me!!!

Except last year, it’s been many years that my Mooncake Festivals were without families.
Mooncake i had for this year:-

Foh San Mooncake

Red Bean Paste with Yolk

Ipoh’s brand of mooncake, and it’s from a customer.
I don’t know who, but he/she left it.
Many days already and partners asked me to take back.

Starbuck’s Mooncake

Berries Cheese

Quite nice though.
But just too sweet.
