1. Small room - Is the room charges separate from drinking?? Intend to drink beer and stout, at least 3 bottles(6 cans) ea, ie, total 6 bottles.
2. Girl sitting for whole nite is, I understand to be 250k rupiah. I assume no further tipping is req'd? Is there a need to tip others like mami/waitress? If so, what's the std rate?

1) room charge is added together, some have package that come with drink.
2) 250k rupiah, no packet back to hotel. Tip depend, no standard rate. But be careful. U tip one, another one will come and try make u give tip.

Thanks bro for feedback.
Yup, understand......sitting charges....are just sitting charges . Well, most KTVs I've been to, we normally tip the mamis for finding the `right' girls and for waitress, if she is stn there to serve us....but I don't think need any if we are just drinking beer/stout. I'll probably wing it if no further info is avail.....mami, tip will range from 20k to 100k, depending how good service she gives. Waitress tip should be from 10k to 50k, if any service.

Theres main hall for sitting but never tried before, for gals sitting with u whole night, they will stay with u all the way with all their phones and ipads confiscated, tipping is at least at 250k, for waiter or waitress serving your room, 50k is more than enough, for mamis depends on urself, mami is around 100k, hope it helps lol


Cheers bro

Do note that sitting at the main hall might not have much girls sitting with you. I read in this thread that another group of bros who went around the same time as bro Chrisng21 that there are lesser girls or mamis sitting with them when they were sat at the hall and their beers were not cold.

Choose the hall which has pool table. Inside, not many people, only 2 tables occupied. ordered a jug of beer and started enjoyed billiard. Beer came, to my surprised, beer was not cool at all. Complained to bartender, you know what the bartender said, "THE BEER SHOULD BE THIS WAY", my friend upset after hearing his answers, my friend offered the beer to him free and order 3 can Carlsberg instead. Crowd was not there but when I went to toilet, I saw many FL outside, honestly, quite a number of them are good looking. Went back to hall and told my friends, but they all already lost mood (because of beer incident), decided to call it a day and went back to the room to wath MU VS CHELSEA.

Tks bro for the alert; I will do due diligence once there; I like my beer chilled...thus, will make sure they serve it or will not patronize. As for girls, will find out more from mami there. Whatever happens, will provide FR on trip.

Hi Bro,
Is it advisable to booking for ST or LT from wechat in Batam? Quite worry later half way someone knock your door and in deep trouble.

[micmac888]

Went back again to Marine Live Seafood (which is directly behind Hotel Pagoda) last night. My partner wanted to eat the prawns again. This time - just normal dinner without any more expensive dishes like crab and crayfish, and without any MSG.

Denny insisted we try his own-made tofu . I jokingly yet firmly told him I am a very big tofu fan and the bar is very high up for this particular food. No problem he said - if I personally dun like it - its FOC. ONZ I said.

Ordered dishes as per his simple non-MSG dinner recommendation (including prawns which she die die wanted)



1 x Steam live prawns
1 x Clams stir fried in soy chilipadi sauce
1 x Tahu Seafood (his insistent recommendation)
1 x Pakis Polos (love this dish)
3 x Nasi Putih

Total = RP222K

Really solid value. Quality is definitely there. Taste is *great* (no MSG!). She did not have any allergic reaction. This confirmed our go-to seafood resto in downtown Batam After my feedback that even without his trace MSG food tastes the same, Denny was confident and considering to putting up "no MSG" signage. LOL.

What struck me , blew me away, was indeed his own-made tofu. His tofu is *BETTER* than any tofu I've eaten at coffee shops and restos in SEA. Let me describe how fantastic it was : I sucked the tofu from its skin-crusted "shell" ! It is that newtonian-soft and silky-smooth. His tofu is the best in SEA - due to a combination of how he made them *and* how he cooked them.

I exclaimed at the tofu at Denny. Beaming - he said any customer who tried will always order this dish whenever they patronise again together with the Pakis Polos (vege dish).

He led me into the kitchen to show me his tofu. His tofu contains trace egg-yolk (to give that aroma after deep frying - which tofu on its own doesn't have), and a dash of salt to taste (again. tofu is bland).



He handed me a small bit from the tray - I ate it and my body gave 2 thumbs up. 100% no preservatives. LOL. I insisted to buy 1/3 of the tray to bring it back to my Batam residence so that I could enjoy it as breakfast or cook it with other dishes. He relented.


Side note 1 : On reflection, his top dishes (to me) aren't seafood at all. LOOOOL!

Side note 2 : told my partner to eat more this type of quality preservative/binder-free tofu, as it contains good amounts of natural estrogen - grow bigger breasts as I'm a breast man. LOL!

For sharing. Cheers.
