Satay is not bad,better than most in Batam but still,its quite common in terms of taste as compare with those in Singapore satay club. (i prefer Batam's ibu joko's satay as compare with the Baba street one,they still hold number 1 place in my heart)

If you happen to pass by there,should try their roti prata kosong. Way better than those made in Batam's indian eating places/restaurant or the indian store at Indo rasa food court. Not only that,its cheaper than them too. I think its about about 1k to 3k rupiah difference. Singapore ones will cost around S$0.80 per prata,so 6.5k rupiah is consider high.

I think the prata store has a recipe of their own. The taste of the prata surprised me that evening,hence i wrote it up here. Its now at number 1 place for me,hehehe...

Just dont expect to see those fancy prata-making moves done by the girl below :

Looks at the sky of Pulau Galang, the side where Pulau Galang is situated is black...the other side is white. Sign of yin and yang. There's no rain throughout my entire Galang trip...

A very interesting sight,hehehe...

There's also some monkeys when we were on our way in....having lots of expectation when they see us,hehehe...

And the famous Ex Vietnam camp museum (outside)...photo taken when i face the museum.

Photo below taken when my back is facing the museum. Building in the photo used to be a prison for criminals during those times. Today,they were used as a store room for the shops nearby,hehehe...
