Bro, talk about Nasi Padang (or Nasi Batam?!), Me the sexpert!

The Nasi Padang near the Mahkota/KFC/Gelael stretch is also Puti Bungsu, same with the next to Puri Garden. To each to their own. Some said this one better some said that one best.

Near Batam Centre can try Bundo Kanduang or Pak Datuk. I used to like Pak Datuk a lot, just that there was one bad incident that I brought my friends to eat there one of the dishes actually spoilt. Well, you can't say much for Nasi Padang

I ever heard that the best cook for Nasi Padang is judge by how long he cooks per week, the lesser the better. But of course this refer to main dishes, not ALL DISHES.

I have tried Sederhana (used to have a client who insisted to visit there every time he visited Batam) near Windsor. Location wise and food wise not bad. IMHO, better than Puti Bungsu even some say Puti Bungsu is the closer to original one. [i] Please note that most big names in Batam get that kind of praises e.g.: xxxx's taste is closest to the original padang taste.

There is also Mak Eteh, Bundo Kanduang (In front Island Garden). Pondok Jaya in front of Flower Massage, near Nagoya Newtown shophouses.

After saying these, my advice in taking Nasi Padang is:
1) Try not to patrol Nasi Padang after lunch time. Cause the dishes at least were prepared from the morning or early of that week (who knows?). This is to reduce the risk of consuming spoilt dishes. You won't know because some food being reheated and more spices being added. You might say Yum yum the first minutes and say Eeeewwwww! for the next few hours.

2) If want to cut cost, can just order the dishes and pour on your rice at the counter or mention the dishes you want to put on your rice (solo trip). For group, better ask to serve their reputable/recommended dishes.

3) If have doubt about their pricing ask to get the breakdown. Normally if you don't speak their language OR if your look alien to them, even local will kenna. Nasi Padang is a type of cuisine here that they can anyhow charge/bill you. So, if have doubt, don't feel shy, check with the cashier.

4) If you want to take Nasi Padang, it is advisable to have a steel stomach. This is because some dishes are spicy (Nasi Padang is not only spicy after all), cook using santan (coconut milk) and the way they handle food might cause stomachache.

5) Best to consume using hands instead of fork and stone. Just like how we eat burgers. However, watch out for your diet at sometimes it is addictive (marijuana conspiracy??) and delicious. Also, ask coconut milk being used and it is quite oily, it ain't healthy.

Slightly change for the Nasi Padang Part:

In front of Island Garden (Swissotel) is actually Selero Basamo NOT Bundo Kanduang. Bundo Kanduang is located one in Batam Centre near yong kee and another one in front of Novotel. Seems like there is a branch at Muka Kuning also.

Correction: I ever heard that the best cook for Nasi Padang is judge by how often he cooks per week, the lesser the better.

Additional info for Ayam Penyet:
1 In Megamall
1 in Muka Kuning (next to Panbil Mall)
1 beside Centre Point
1 in Nagoya Hill
1 beside BCS across a street

Sundanese (Javanese) Food
1 in Batam Centre (Near Yong Kee & Bundo Kanduang)
1 next to the Puti bungsu near Puri Garden
1 near Lai Lai beside Jungle

Agree,

Got an Indo friend of mine, who was once high and had a hangover from booze the previous night. At customs Harbour Front, singapore, he was asked by the officers to test for drugs.

Lucky he had beers only, but that was a bad experience for him.

So if you had too much of a drop or was on drugs, dont come back too fast. The custom officers may give you trouble.

Yeah, better stay off from the drugs and those illegal "vitamins".
Better eat sum obat kuat rather than those "temp-power-booster".

Bro! Thanks for many massage info. I got "enlightened" by some of the postings. Upped yours (I mean your rep. point ). IMO, most of the massage joints I visited CMI, to each to their own, I think.

My personal observation for some of the picking joints is good WLs won't stay there long. Firstly, will be bao-ed (chartered by rich bosses, tons here). Secondly, get booked early in the day. That is why there are quite a number of gems here (not comparable to Tg Balai), but depend on luck.

Haha, good observation. Most of the beautiful top rated ones already "bao" by people liao. Mostly in Jakarta. They come to Batam becos they either CMI in jakarta liao or got older liao.

Weekends are most busy time. If you come on week days, usually you can get better looking ones.

These medicine in indonesia? Unless you are sure you know what you are eating, dont any how buy. Although they are not as bad as those China guys who poison the drugs intentionally, I still dont go for these items.

Bro, regarding the obat kuat, I just said so, I never take it before. Some of them (even girls) like the feeling to take ecstasy / "on" mainly because of the "high" feeling and improve in sex stamina and performance. But I am thinking (will never take) that it only boost the stamina temporary with drawbacks. There are many more healthier ways to do so, therefore no need to go to such extreme.

Yeah, you are right, good quality normally will not come to here first. They will firstly work in Bandung, Jakarta, Surabaya or Bali. Heard that they earn better there, higher income, easier job. Then, they will go to Tg Pinang/ Tg Balai. After which they will end up in Batam. Don't know how true is it. Weekdays sometimes can get better looking ones but sometimes I do patrol these joints during weekdays, it is either those better ones taking leaves or taking rest. Sometimes really difficult. I don't know who, but early in the day the girls being booked already.

Additional info: Do get prepared that some of the WLs have attitude problem. They tend to have many pattern, more than badminton. Nowadays, some of the girls i do not know what are they working for? For fun? Because they just don't bother (bochap), whatever complaints you want to launch or make, they will just ignore. Well, to comfort yourself, what do you expect with half of the booking price compare back home?

Regarding the WL, yes, they earn in Jakarta first. There is where the big bucks are. Usually Bao by the big bosses there first. After losing to younger gals, they go other places. I know some started as young as 14 of age, lose their first time, then move down to others. Frequent discos, and by the tiem they are 19 or 20, they are considered old. Of cos, drugs among them are common( referring to estacy).


First time, I believe they charge close to 5 juta. And subsequant brothers who try her will be charged less. Introduced by the one who draw the first blood. Sometimes, the boss( first to fuck her) may keep her for a period of time too, until he let her go, usually for a new lady to keep. The gals would enjoy much money at first, but gradually losing favor from the boss. Some would be lucky to be keep as a second wife. However, I know one guy who gave up the KIDS AND WOMAN to another man. Probably the kid is not his to begin with too

Then she move down as a FL or WL. Some of them go back to kampong, to start a new life. Or some would stay in city as street people. As for their kids? I hope they dont follow the mother footsteps. But usually, we know the outcome. The fate of the kid is sealed.
