And even if the package tour tourists don't stay at H89. They also bring them there for massage. At time if over capacity they would use IndoThai just few steps away.

In fact, there are very high chance for one to see many sg tourists in whole Penuin area.

That one of the reason for me to visit Bailong early in the morning.
Also another reason is I got to get my pig kidney and blood before it sold out.
Since hotel 89 is spore tourist standard, furthermore with the hotel in-house massage, think is worth to try.

Notice that Bak Kut Teh in Batam is rather similiar to JB where the soup is dark base (added dark soy sauce) Mixed part of the pork gives a different texture and taste. The broth was tasty too.

In Batam, there is also dry bak kut teh with ginger which was delicious too.

IMO, the "pork rib tea" in singapore is different in taste.

Yes tend to see more singapore tourist in Penuin / BCS area than in Nagoya hill area, especially at A2 foodcourt and nearby massage shops, also at the 3 & 4 star hotels like BCC, BCH, Gideon, I hotel, etc

One need to go one round via the Hawaii ktv side.
Yes i noticed that the road about 100m before reaching Budi Mulia Padang food is blocked

Because the last trip when I walked from Halo Kitty back to BCS need to walk past Budi Mulia beside the smelly drain, I was surprised that the road was blocked and therefore no choice had to make a detour / alternative route back.

Therefore for next trip if I were to walk from Hotel 89 to DC mall, the following will be :

1) I will cross the road, walk to okela garden seafood restoran at about 80m
2) Next I will walk all the way straight for 250m until reach the blocked area.
3) After that, make a left turn at Jalan Marina Park for another 170m until reach the nasi campur marina park.
4) From there, turn right and walk for another 350m straight to reach DC mall.

All in I will walk about 80+250+170+350=about 850m which is slightly longer than 750m if it is not blocked.

I think this is the most direct and fastest walking route to DC mall liao.

But then again if tired or lazy to walk, alternatively can just get on a Grabcar Hemat at 10k to DC mall with a push of a button, so convenient and easy hehe
