Batam

8-9 Dec'2007

A weekend trip to Batam.


At Turi Beach Resort where my in-laws were staying. The room is on stilts. You can feel the room swaying when the wind blows strongly.


Room looked so romantic with the netting cascading.


The rest of us stayed with hubby's bro in his house at the Nongsa Point Marina.



A sea-food joint in Batam.


The food was very, very delicious especially the Black Pepper Crab - this version was cooked with plenty of garlic. Would love to show you the food, but we woof downed all the food as soon as it arrived. Here's us feeling very contented.

Forgot to mention that the meal was very reasonable. Got crab, bbq fish, sotong, veggies, gong-gong (some kind of snails), drinks etc - all for about S$60. If it had been in S'pore- would have cost more than a $100 easily.


Baby chair made out of plastic pipes! so clever hor
.


Makan at Nagoya Mall.


Nasi Padang makan in Batam Center mall.



J.Co Dougnuts - their own local brand.


The doughnuts' light and fluffy - so delicious though I wish they were not so sweet.


I ate the strawberry ones.


In a hypermart. French fries not sold in packets like in S'pore.




On board the ferry with my sis-in-law.




Batam is good for a peaceful weekend but I don't think I can tahan staying there long term - am too much of a city gal.
