Hana Hotel Pricing for your reference :

https://sbf.today/showpost.p...ostcount=31238

Please note Hana is a 2 star hotel,whereas Formosa is a 3 star. I would be of no help to you if you stay there. (Hana is just 3 streets away from Formosa)

I still advise staying in Formosa Hotel tho.

(Formosa directly downstairs has a provision shop,just turn left from front door and walk round the building w/o leaving the building)

Good luck.

PS : Its weekend,prices of everything is definitely higher in Batam.

Thanks Nono. Luckily saw your post. I already prepared to pay more

i had a bad feelin abt yr trip,my guess is u'll likely rate it 3/10 at max 4 yr entire 3d2n trip. Too fickle minded aldy. U better pray hard everythg go smoothly when u stay Nagoya 68 hotel.Keep yr valuable safe at all time.

below taken from agoda for today to book a rm for 12.09.2015 -

$50.24 is inclusive tax if I am not wrong. Too bad I don't know how to attach pic here.

It turned out avg 1.5/10 if you read my last FR. I don't think the rating is related to I being fickle mind? Is more of luck.

Of course Grand Nagoya 68 cannot compare with Formasa. All lose except price.

Glad you enjoy the trip. 3D2N too short,right? Hehehe...there are just too many things we have yet to see.

Sorry bro,there was just too many nicks and names that i need to remember during a trip,hehehe...age catching up,memory starts to fail me,so i address Micmac as Mic. Talk about the chempelak,i strongly believe if you decide not to get it that day,bro Mic would most likely have taken it,hehehe...its afterall the ONLY ONE left.

That would be next month for me, but i wasnt looking forward to it.

This is a blessed trip,the next one could likely be a cursed one to me,hehehe...

Dont hold too high expectation for the next trip,especially when this one is so good,hehehe...you might be in for a big disappointment. This is my usual advise to newbies. But if this trip isnt good,then i am dead sure the next one will be GOOD. It may varies for different person tho.

You are most welcome,bro...you actually reminds me of my 2nd and 3rd trip to Batam...everything in Batam seems so amazingly amazing,hehehe... and thank you for joining too.

Cheers!

Reading your FR makes me feel as if I was going thru your actual footsteps and thought processes. It was lively. Thank you. Inferred quite a bit of frustration, some trepidation, questioning, fickle-mindedness due to "everything new" hitting your senses? Yet - you are taking it somewhat composed and within your stride. GIVE THE MAN a beer !

Nono worded it nicely when he asked for writer(s)' personal experience/rating.

Allow me to be direct pls : Samsters are urged to write FRs, dun care if english is shit or vocabulary fail kindergarten.

The more experienced lurkers will add valuable pointers that will greatly reinforce the FR-writer(s)' experience so that subsequent trip(s) will undoubtedly be (more) enjoyable. There are quite a few experienced lurkers here.



Again, thank you for your FR~~~

cheers

PS : not saying if Axia no buy = he mentally retarded ah !

Finally reached Harbour bay. I gave private driver 100k because yesterday he brought me to many joints and today to Gold bird then to Harbour Bay.

Bought 2 dresses 110k for my niece but she accept 100k only. Bought a ramly burger with egg 17k. No place to sit so purposely bought 3 otar 9k. Ordered a (tea with milk) tea su su for 10k. The server told me 20k later returned 10k. I was so surprised he don't know the price. I was so happy the coffee shop offer free wifi. I thought only atas restaurant have free wifi only. So I can update my last FR now.

Before reach Harbour Bay decided to go Gold Bird complain to papi. As expected papi gave crap excuses. Told me I should come back to Gold Bird if the girl refused sex or I unhappy with her services. He cannot do anything since the girl stayed all the way. I asked for papi namecard he said don't have. He told me yesterday I should have go back to Gold bird directly on the spot. The girl must be experience to cheat new comer. Or I am too forgiven when she refuse sex when we reached the hotel first. I should have straight away bring her back to Gold bird because I don't have papi contact no. I thought I could have it after dinner or before sleep. Am I too happy go lucky or she too scheming. Told me wanted to sleep at 12.30pm which I cannot bring her back to Gold bird because the joint close at 1am. So I can still complain if she refuse sex in the morning but I cannot bring her back again because Gold bird don't open so early.

Lesson learned. In future must have sex straight away for 3 rounds after reach hotel. Additional will be bonus. While writing this suddenly I think of can I have sex for 3 rounds after reach hotel then complain no good and ask for a change before dinner. Even worst have sex 1-3 rounds with again then change another girl before mid night. Now I know why some chiongster beat up the girls or keep changing girls. Either we eat and bully people or let people eat and bully! Enough grievances. I just want to let new comer aware how to avoid my senerio only.

Fine Dining - KEZ'S Bakery & Restaurant (KBR)
==================================

True Speciality : Off-menu dinner courses (3,5,7) by Chef Denny

Conclusion :

- Seriously, the definitive fine-dining at affordable price in Batam. Price, quality, finesse better than Teras Cafe, LACosta, Goodies/Smiling-Hill, etc.

- Make sure to book in-advance (1 week) so that Chef & brigade can buy/prepare ingredients.

- Absolutely make sure it is Chef Denny personally hands-on.


Audience for this post : You who enjoy *quality* fine-dining at far lower price benchmarks. You who want to celebrate special occasion. You who want to pop life-changing proposition(s) - lol God Bless you.

===================

It's been some time since we had the off-menu dinner course at KBR. Time to pamper ourselves with off-menu cuisine born out of the champion chef's passion, at very affordable prices.

The experience, without exception, was fantastic. The dinner itself - floored me. Those who read my prior reviews about KBR know I vouch for it only bcs I can make comparisons from my decent-enough experience in fine-dining.

I simply cannot get such cuisine and dining-experience at *such prices* elsewhere (in my 20+ years travels as well) by a champion chef.

Anyways, will not describe in detail how dishes tasted and what etc. Too lengthy.

========================
Dinner theme : My Childhood Experience (Denny Sumarko)
Course : "7" course include dessert
Price : RP700K (not include discount)



Theme - My childhood by Chef Denny




#1



#2. **DISTINCTION** Lentil beans from Dupuy-France



#3. **DISTINCTION** Ox-tail pasta-dumpling with potato beignet. surrounded by ox-tail broth

[micmac888]

#4. Foie Gras




#5. **DISTINCTION** Lamb Tongseng. No lamb smell at all.




#6. MANTAP! Beef Rewan (coated in Keluak)




#7 MANTAP! Dessert : Milk-skin + "ting-ting" sweet + lavendar shangrila


For sharing.... e n j o y ~~

Wow! look like btm hotel special service price is quite same to spore pricing.

Bro, I agreed u got NO LUCK on gals for yr 3D2N trip. The rest is pretty normal routine.

Your 1st gal from Happy 8 is 2/10 which is bad enough and yet your 2nd gal from Goldbird even worst than tat which is fuck up.

I totally empathize your anger & frustration but i would not advice the quickfire 3-bonk which u suggested becoz if u quickly aim for 3 bonks in a short period, i believe she will cite the 3-bonk rule and make excuses to go back since oredi fulfill 3 bonks, papi/mami will oso defend her even if complain.

May u have better gals for next trip and it will surely erase the bad memories for tis trip haha

For me, it is not abt getting the most number of bonks but how enjoyable & happy throughout the whole day wif the gal

Good reminder. Then I will done with 2 and keep changing. But I guess Any joints will ban me if I change more than 2 times in a day. Nevertheless do I have that many bullets.

I wonder should I ask my friends purposely to choose her and done with 2 round and change her away. It show how petty or revengeful I am. Anyway I am NATO (No Action Talk Only).

If I will to come again. I must stay at Goodway. I need to raise my standard higher than normal too opp Nono advice. So that I can change the girls at Gold bird conveniently.

I not into the number too that why I did not change even though she rejected me 2 times. I believe how enjoyable & happy throughout the whole day wif the gal is achievable if we can communicate only.

I apologize for pouring out my grievances here. Just skip my post if anybody feel offended.

Once you have 1 shot, any problem you have with the girl, the joint will charge you minimum short time fee.

Maybe you are too forgiving or maybe you held out hoping that she will somehow turn good. I don't have that sort of patience.

Once she give stupid reason for not having sex, I'll just shoo her out of the room and complain to the papi straightaway. If you had read Nono's newbie guide, he advised getting the papi's contact number when you're still at the joint. No namecard, never mind. The aim is to let the girl see that you have the joint's number and ready to make noise if she tries to be funny. But, I do have to say that you're unlucky to get this type of girl from gold Bird.

Nevermind.. there's always the next trip.
