It's all good. Am happy to share - quality/tasty/exotic food @ batam-std Value (that a stingy L2E2L "local" would patronise). Pardon me if I *never will* FR restos/cafes at NED/touristy areas, unless I'm on a hunt for a particular cuisine(s) to hopefully finding that gem which is shorter commuting. Mixing with local friends - I got to know *alot* more supposedly mantap eateries (havent try yet) outside touristy areas.

Besides, doing FRs outside NED/Touristy areas - just goads a samster to going there to savor the cuisine and yet further exploring the *real* batam instead of NED/Touristy areas anyways.

PS : To those who say Batam is nothing to see and wasting time - well - SG is selling "lesser quality apple at higher prices" - pick any apple : food, fruit, comfort, insurance, housing, car, retirement, clubbing, alcohol, just about everything - except major medical (btm doesn't have). And I haven't even begun to talking about the pace of life, common courtesies, and genuine-networking (which is very lacking in rat-race societies) - and which the hot/heavy young ones will not understand.

PPS : brought my old folks (who stayed 1 night) to the champedak highwayside "stall" - my mum couldn't believe it - 3 x chempadaks for RP25K LOL! Reminded her of the 60s : no injection/pesticide/genetic-modification and totally depending on heaven to yielding the fruit(s)

(Talked to much) - CHEERS!
