Hehehe...if wants to risk getting quizzed or questioned by immigration custom, can always travel via Batam Center ferry terminal, and if take the last ferry via Batam center ferry terminal, i dare say my chance of going in to "drink coffee" can almost reach 100%.

I chose to go by Harbour Bay ferry terminal tho. More expensive, but i feel safer. Thats even if i travel in the last ferry timing.

Thank you for not quoting the whole post.

On the contrary, i feel that the quality of the food is good (lesser or no flour added), but i feel the chef in Teras Cafe couldn't handle the steak well enough. The quality of its ingredient/s is solid enough & non-processed type, at least.

I was there during dinner time, and place was almost packed to the rim (maybe because i go during weekends?). And i observed a ratio of 30% "bule" aka "ang moh" in it and mostly on the first floor and locals were mainly on the 2nd floor.

70% of them were either locals or foreigners from Singapore.

Ambience-wise not fantastic compared to Singapore western food restaurants. From one table to the next table is just too close to each other. Less than a meter apart. A bit clamp on the clampy side. I get the same feel when i visit McDonald at Kamgpong Bule or any other Mcdonald's restaurant in Singapore.

Above were my observation.
