Batam Trip 6-7 Dec

Me and my hubby just came back from our 2 days 1 night trip to Batam, Indonesia.


We tried checking in upon reaching the Holiday Inn Resort but we were too early as the check in timing was 2pm, so we decided to head downtown area for lunch and shopping since we have never been to Batam before. We took a shuttle service from the resort to the town (SGD$8 per pax for 2 way trip). For our lunch at Nagoya Hill shopping center, I had Ayam Penyet (15,500 Rupiah, around SGD$2 +) the serving size was quite small as compared to the one at Lucky Plaza (in Orchard), that explains why the people there are so slim. My hubby ate the Chicken Nasi goreng (14,900 Rupiah, around SGD$2 + and with discount too) plus a cup of chendol(8,000 Rupiah, around SGD$1) which both of us shared.


We were so happy as we came across an A&W there, you simply cannot find this fast food in Singapore anymore so who can resisted the all round original A&W root beer float....ahhhh~? I had the root beer float and my hubby took the ice-cream waffles (tasted a bit salty though).


This was where we stayed, we came back to the hotel around 4pm to check in and was given a free upgrade to a deluxe room, yippee :)


We have our first massage yesterday, I had never tried massage as I was afraid of the pain. My hubby tried very hard to persuaded me and he won. I have the Javanese package and my hubby the Balinese techniques and both using the essential oils to help release muscle tension to improve blood circulation; we paid 1161600 Rupiah (SGD$145.20) for the total bill. Ask me how I feel after the massage? I would said "VERY PAINFUL" and asked me again whether I will go for another one, I will consider maybe ;p
