Dun need to plan, most popular hotel and ferry r fully book, many hotel charge extra for new year eve or double their normal room rate.

popular hotels more than double on 31/Dec. The hotel i loved staying was about 7Xsgd on 29 and 30 and 18Xsgd on NYE. Not worth.

But i already planned to go in on the night of 29 and come out on 31. Planning to spend my 30 Dec at Golden City.

Bopi bopi dont rain

Coming to batam on this few days got to be extra kiasu. Make sure everything are book and confirm as fast as possible.
Sg aunties will be spotted all over batam shopping and makan place.

This morning I thought all sg aunties would be sweeping their buffet breakfasts in hotel.

To my surprise... they are two ladies sit beside my table, asking questions in sg mandarins. And the coffee shop staff need to help then to identify which Rp Notes to make payments.

Think I hv to be careful on my movements this few days.

All my hotels and ferry tickets are already pre-booked.

I thought this periods alot of Singaporean? Few weeks ago, I went to eat the Ayam Bakar at Bengkong near Top 100 Bengkong, already saw afew Singaporean going there. Was surprised because Bengkong is not really a touristy places.

Anyway, for bros going to crowded places... beware of pickpockets. Recently a Singaporean uncle bag was stolen. He dont just lose his wallet, but also his passport, nric, credit cards etc. He lost it at Pasar Jodoh.

My doctor is on holiday and today I cannot ask his opinion, but on the gastronomic side I notice your dish lacks intestine!
I would suggest to top it up with intestine (filled, of course, they are more tasty) and a fried egg. A nutrient breakfast is important to start well a busy day.
