Pasar Induk: 10k/kg for better quality jambu air, ripen but not damaged, no need to negotiate, plus smiles and chat from the nice guy.
Exactly half price: and Nono's apple is not the same apple, it's better.
=> One needs to know where to go, to find quality and good price.

Good to see you make comparison and bargain from different places. Small money it may seems you have save but it would actually adds up later to a bigger sum or when there is a higher frequency(for service) or quantity (for products). And even later, I would be wondering how come my money has been spent so fast in a blink of my eye.
I looked at your post as, you paid a LOWER price and for some BETTER QUALITY stuffs. Lower price yet for some better quality services/products isnt what most people traveling to Batam can really 'understand'.
Just like a pair of shoe I bought in Batam during my March trip...
Nagoya Hill Mall Sunboss was retailing it at 325k rupiah with something like a 20% off (marketing strategy that seems to attract a lot of tourists), but when I go to another Sun Boss for the exact same pair of shoe,it cost me 185k rupiah nett.
Uniquely Batam indeed.
