From Harbour Front to Harbour Bay ferry tickets were a few dollar more expensive than from Tanah Merah to Harbour Bay,hehehe... :D On Batamfast open ticket from Harbour Front to Harbour Bay for me: Pros : 1. Expiry date is much further (comparing to orange ticket from horizon ferry that last only about 2 months). I get to keep the open ticket for a longer period of time. 2. An alternative in case Horizon failed me (i kiasu ma,hehehe...) or when Horizon ferry sailing slot is FULL during peak days/hours. Cons : 1. Usually about a dollar of 2 more expensive than Horizon Ferry tickets. 2. Only 4 available ferrying slots from Harbour Bay to Singapore and vice versa. I am constantly camping for cheaper ferry tickets. I dont buy/sell them to make money but more on barter trading them for a longer period of expiry. Example : I buy S$15 orange ticket, trade it with friends for a pair of 2 way Batamfast/Horizon ferry ticket that expires somewhere middle/end of next year. That way, I saved about S$33 each ticket and almost everytime i go Batam. Over time, i accumulated a handful of these tickets but i cant sell it becos i know i need it for future use when i traveled to Batam. Just sharing. Quote:

Tea Story also has carrot cake but no...the taste not suitable for me. There is one few seconds walk from the Bai Long Bak Chok stall at the Penuin wet market which is not too bad tho. If you are around Ji Long noodle shop, nearby a few hundred meters away there is also another Mickey Mouse Bak Kut Teh, i think they are as good as the one near Lucky Plaza if not better. :D My number 1 place for noodles comes from the noodle shop near Meximo Pub and Botak Chun noodles,hehehe....so far i have brought many Singaporean there (no less than 200 people) no one says their noodles were not good. Almost all of them would choose to returned-to-eat whenever they visit Batam on their own,hehehe... :D Come to think of it, most of which i brought there were mainly hawkers (in Singapore for few decades) and coffee shop stall owners, a big handful of them which were quite popular for the food they sells in Singapore and i am a bit surprise they give Batam food such high ratings,hehehe...

30k rupiah from Harbour Bay to anywhere Nagoya isnt really a bad thing,hehehe...comparing it with 50k to 60k over a year back. And to take Grab/GoCar, one has to walk so far out of the departure/arrival area. The price has actually comes down from average of 50k rupiah per trip to the same destination to 30k rupiah. Even if take Go Car, price is around 14k rupiah and ultimately sometime including tipping would cost about 20k rupiah to 25k rupiah. Ok, just to share another idea with you. Many hotels in Batam provide 2 way shuttle service from their Hotel/s to popular Shopping Mall/s (and its free of charge)...enough said. :D Quote:

The setback is, i dont speak their language hence i relied on the girls to do that for me. Also do note that some higher starred hotels do not allowed gofood to be send to their hotel rooms hence you might need to come down to the lobby to collect your food. Quote:

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
I used to cheong a lot before my recent trip. Taxi was 50k from Harbourbay and the mall there was really like ghost town because just opened. I walked until main road nego with taxi until 20k. Used to stay at Lovina Inn Nagoya, next door, behind the hotel and across the street got Booking Joints. 3 Joints within walking distance last time.
Missed the time have to ask the taxi drivers about fares. My favourite Joint last time was Permata Indah, night time eat at Windsor then go Karaoke got discount at Permata. Without your map, i would not have found Kupu2 so my cheong experience might be different. Thank you Bro Nono once again for the knowledge. |
