Never do I ever let him know I am going into a booking joint or he will sneak somewhere outside to say he brought me.

used to do the same trick also. no point paying extra commission since i already know the place well.

Think most people when they wanted a chinese mainly is that they wanted some chinese/english speaking girls?
FYI, many of the joint's local malay/indo cewek do speak a little chinese/hokkien, enough to get "things" going lah..
And trust me, they are more fun then the not all but most chinese girls.

hi BtmMan bro...

can't agree more with you. my buddy is totally malay-illiterate, he really had a hard time (pun intended ) communicating with his gal.. hahaha.. Mine's a local malay but she's just soooooo fair that she can be easily mistaken for a chinese but when communicating, i discovered that she's a native afterall and i'm definitely ain't complaining about that either.. to me, her service is 10/10.. and that's what matters most, right bro?

cheers

I so tempting to go but reali no time recently.

hi SonicGear bro..

Hotel Utama is the latest addition to the already many hotels in BT. It's about 2months+ old only and in my personal view, it would rank as one of the best in BT. The rooms are really good bro, i mean we naturally can't compare them against those in fullerton, ritz carlton and other 5 star hotels in SIN lah but it's definitely worth the SGD40bucks (per night) that i paid.

When there's an opportunity, do give yourself sometime to check out the other hotels first and then do a comparison.. i won't be surprised if you decide to choose utama..

cheers

In additional to that, on the other end/side of the hotel, maybe a 5 mins walk away, it's the Nagoya Food Court, nice place to have dinner.

Based on what I have read here, I would think that your cabbie made at least 40,000 to 100,000 rupiah commission (for each girl) on the ceweks you booked out depending on the place you booked from. Since no names of joints was mentioned, I cannot be more specific than that.

Anyway, if you are happy, then stay happy with your taxi driver.

In any case, since you had no other ways to find the joints, that is what is known as the "khwa thow lui" for newbie visitors. In future, if you take the trouble to remember where and learn to get there on your own steam, you can inform the papi and get the "net prices" so long as there is truly no taxi or ojek person with you.

When you ask for your net price, make sure that no other visitors are there and can hear you or, he will deny you this because he has to pay other drivers their commission for the customers they bring.

In some places, the overnight LT booking fee can be as low as 200,000 e.g. Sedona Country and the higher charges places 280,000 e.g. Permata Indah.

The exceptions are Grand Titanic 280000 to 500,000 depending on the girl &; the 2nd floor of the Island Garden 500,000 (no commission here so most taxi drivers will tell you closed down etc).

My comments are based on the many visits I have made to Batam over the years but, I would "confess" that I have not been there in the recent 3 months.

Batam is Singaporean & Malaysian sex paradise right next door provided you like local ceweks and not always looking for Chinese girls , girls who can speak Chinese etc. If the "Bules" can learn Indonesian and thrive there with the ceweks, I don't see why local Singaporeans and Malaysians cannot.

hi bro sassina,

spoken like a true blue old timer bro.. nothing beats sheer experience, i must say.. thanks for the valuable advice bro. mind if i seek your advise if required in the future bro?

Precisely bro. I would normally ti siao, walk to a nearby coffeeshop (if theres one) for a drink or jalan2 here and there. Would normally ask them to drop me distant away fm the joint. 50K is alot man...
