We came across this 2D1N Batam Stay deal on Deal.com.sg…
And it became a family trip to Batam!
10:30 AM Habourfront Centre
We met up at Harbourfront Centre in the morning.
11:20 AM Boarding
We were separated on the crowded ferry.
12:15 PM Batam
Our ferry
13:00 PM Land Transfer from Pier to Hotel
Leaving the Harbour Bay Mall
13:25 PM Amir Hotel
Arriving at Amir Hotel, just next to the Harbour Bay Mall, which is just next to the Pier! It was chaotic at the hotel lobby, packed with guests at the check in counters. They were short of clean rooms so we were only able to get 1 room instead of 3. As our prebooked transport is arriving soon, we left our luggage in our only room and left for lunch + shopping.
13:45 PM Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall
13:55 PM Lunch @ Ayam Penyet Ria (Khas Ibu Ruth)
Nasi Ayam Penyet
Gado Gado
Soto Daging
Jus Alpukat
Jus Tomato
After lunch, we went for massage at Universal Massage, the place that we went previouly in July 2008. We took the 90 minutes package and were led to the 2nd level. Each of us were given a room separated by cutains. We changed into the shorts provided and remove our tops. The massage began… and ended… We went back down for ginger tea and waited for the rest to finish their massage. We went out for more shopping before heading for dinner at the famous Golden Prawn.
20:35 PM Golden Prawn
Golden Prawn 933 was full so we had to dine at 555, but I guess there’s no difference between the two.
Rice
Coconut
My orange juice
é“æ¿è±†è…
Sambal Kang Kong
Chilli Crab
The chilli crab was quite nice because of the MSG.
Fried Calamari
Fried Crayfish
The crayfish was small and dry… what a dis-satisfying dinner.
22:15 PM Harbour Bay Mall
We dropped off at the Harbour Bay Mall for a short walk before returning to the hotel. Most of the stalls were already closed.
玮玲 got herself a cup of ice-cream from J-Co.
22:30 PM Amir Hotel
We got the keys for the 2 other rooms. Quite disappointed that the rooms were apart from each other but at least they were all located on the same level.
Our supper from J. Co
