Went to batam on 14th and 15th. 14th is a public holiday for indos but not a good day for me to go on 14th. I realized it later. Later in my FR you will know why.
Reached Harbour Bay with a fren at around 10.20am (indo time). Went to search for Ocean Massage. Found it after around 10mins but realized it was still early as the shop open at 11am.
In the end, we try to check in Formosa Hotel early by taking taxi 40k. I booked superior room but was given deluxe room and was charged 90k(SGD$9) for the upgrade.
We rested awhile and around 12 plus, we went opposite to exchange rupiah. The rate was so bad that even the best money changer cant give higher rate. $1 is to $9550.
After changing money, we went visit 5 booking joints. I didnt pick any girls straight but visited all joints before choosing. We walked to 1) Happy Massage and during the walk, an ojek uncle offered to show us the way.
As 14th is a islamic public holiday, we can only enter the joints by back door. We went in and see only 1 girl
Then we went to 2) New Berry, quite a number of girls around 20, 3) MM, few girls around 12, 4) Indah 2, girls only less than 6, 5) Bunga Massage, girls also less than 6.
It was then heard from one of the papi that because it is a public holiday, some girls not working. In the end, I picked 1 from New Berry at 1Mil. Tried to bargain but papi refused to reduce.
Since not much girls to choose from, so i took the girl and requested to send to my hotel room at 5pm. Then the ojek uncle brought us to a spa to relax. Nagoya Spa, I remember near PAS spa which is blacklisted.
As i remembered Nagoya Spa not in the list, I went in to try. Took a 588k package with massage, body scrub, milk bath and ear candling. Overall normal but to me is on expensive side.
After massage, we went to eat at a shop opposite center point, diagonally left opposite of Formosa. It has a Bak Gut Tek sign which my fren saw and wanted to try. In the end we ordered as what shown in the picture.
Mixed Bak Gut Teh 40k
(with some of the mixed organ soup items inside and pig blood!! very hard to find and eat pig blood now)
Hotplate Toufu 35k
Gong Gong(fresh) 55k
Prawn Otah 35k
Drinks 18k
Total 188k each person around 90k plus which around SGD$9
After the meal, we went back to rest while i wait for my girl. This girl is alot different from my girl in my 1st trip. This girl more fun loving and playful.
We supposed to go Marine Live for seafood dinner but my fren lazy to walk so we settled dinner at Nagoya Hill Mall. After dinner, we shopped and walked around in the mall. Nothing much after that
Next day we checked out at 12pm and went to Meximo Pub nearby Wan Tan Mee which is 1 of my key motive in this trip. We walked from Formosa to Meximo pub and few shops away found the wan tan mee.
2 bowls of wan tan mee and 1 ice milo only 43k
Ice Milo only 8k so 1 bowl of wan tan mee only 17k
after the meal, we went to the ferry terminal and bought kuey lapis for parents. After which, Home Sweet Home.
I still rate my 2nd trip 7/10
