I hope this would be your last post on a particular topic but not your last post here. You do share some good info in this thread (in case you didnt know) and hope to see more good sharing in the future in this thread.

Cheers!

Hi bro,

Even if there are no maps,there should be enough clues and directions in each linked post/s to show one who has a willing heart who read the Food List
how to reach the desire location. i have chosen not to spell out everything for fear that i might accidentally breach the rules and regulations in this forum. Remember,one of the golden rule in this forum? No advertising allowed w/o paying the forum owner/s for the right/s to do so.

On some links,readers reading the list will be required to read the Food List
more carefully and do some searching of their own.

Sorry bro,i am just being careful becos it took me several months to get this list up,dont want any forum staff/s to take it all down becos i breached some rule/s.

The problem faced in this thread in the past was, a lot of information has been shared and many of them were truly super duper good information if one wish to visit Batam,but it gets buried deep quickly and over time become history.

New guy came in,asked the same question,old guy sees it and shoots him down w/o a definite answer. No one's wrong here cos new guy's got some question/s and didnt know how to put it right (since he is new) and old guy may probably have repeat answering the same question/s like a 1000 times over the years of reading and participating in this thread.

The solution,read my signature to get the most basic answers for the most basic questions.

Yes,bro...been planning the coming trip since i was arranging to launch the Batam Food List. 21st Nov to beginning of next year is Sillypore's school holiday. Its going to be called the PEAK SEASON and i have no intention to crash into those days. X'mas eve and New Year eve is called the SUPER PEAK time.

I have another itinerary,hehehe...the below upcoming group trip on 10th Nov were mainly for newbies :

If i dont get newbies coming (actually i am shortlisting them now),i might be planning to stay at Biz Hotel/Da Vienna Hotel's executive suite or their junior suite,hehehe...i have been thinking about this for some time when i returned from my last trip. If City Central Hotel's Junior suite cost 588k,why not just top up another 22k rupiah (S$2.30) to stay in Da Vienna's Junior suite that has an "exotic" bath tub,hehehe...i get a little greedy and give myself yet another option to top up 82k (S$8.30) more to stay in Biz Hotel's Junior suite with a Jacuzzi bath tub,hehehe...

Not forgetting i still have KTM resort to look forward to which is priced even cheaper. At the same time, i am still preparing for my Batam CNY 2016.

So much to do...and so little time.

There are two types of girls at KTVs or pubs like in I Hotel: PR (Public Relation) and PL (???), a.k.a. BO (Booking Out). At I Hotel they call them BO (I had a friend working as PR there 1 year ago).
These girls were PR (so they said).

HJ - 100k onwards

FJ - 200K for MILF, 250K for SYT onwards.

Always nego down. The above are local rates or " if you believe u are local"

Hotel massage ladies rates are 100K more than massage parlours.


Take note they always open high end prices. Especially if they know you are foreigners. Nego down.

Weekends are the super peak periods as well... Especially long weekends. Do your books for return to Singapore early especially sundays..

Noted with thanks. Weekends should be Super Peak period then and holiday eves,like New Year day eve,X'mas eve and the week of CNY period should be Ultra Super Peak period...thank you for reminding. Yes,MUST die die book in advance the Return ferry back to Sillypore during those time as ferry ticket are always running short.

Thank you.

One of the purpose of every guides and listings by me are information free for all to reference and learn so that everyone who reads stands a chance to have a good time in Batam.

When everyone shares a tiny bit,put them altogether and it can be quite a lot.

Thank you for sharing.

Not very sure about teachers..but if its the year end school holiday (which lasted about 1.5 months),parents tends to bring their kids for holiday during this period of the time. Batam happens to have quite a handful of kid-friendly family resort too. Schools do organize extracurricular activities for students and religious organisation also have lots of charity work involving Batam with their youth members too. Thats of course the "clean" part.

For the "dirty" part,principals and teachers are human too. I have personally joined 2 principals of 2 different private schools to Batam some months back and we all booked our girls together.

Hey Nono,
Thank you for highlighting what i missed. Was told you are the most thorough and consistent writer, so i must have miss those clues!! My bad for missing those small "Spoiler" buttons and GPS coordinates.

Thank you for compiling the Food List. Maybe there's more other "goodies" in your little "Black Book/Folder"!

Cheers
