I went Batam over the weekend

how to find seafood at nagoya hills? must go to the beach area?

I went to Wey Wey and Golden Prawn 933. Just take a grab. It'll cost no more then $3, which average out to less then a bus fare in SG if you have a party of at least 3 people.

Wey wey food is great. But price is on the high side. About the same as the cheapest seafood restaurants in SG. Service also sucks. I told them their spoon is dirty (still have leftover meat sticking to the spoon... i don't want other people's leftovers thank you), and asked them to bring me a new spoon, so they disappeared with my spoon and never brought me a new one despite numerous reminders. They also got one of my orders wrong. I ordered a "Hepo Kansiang", which based on my google search and based on their own pictures on the menu, means Salted Egg Crayfish. They gave me Crayfish in Soy Sauce. And insisted that what they gave me is Hepo Kansiang when it is clearly not, because they don't want to correct their mistake.

Golden Prawn 933 food is good, but not as good as Wey Wey. Love the service though, and is also about two thirds the price of Wey Wey.

Surprised TS survived. The taxi cartels would have beaten the driver and passenger to a pulp in the past.

Taxi cartel lost territory. Now they only control the area immediately outside the ferry terminal.

$160+ for two pax, round trip. iirc.

Last I went they won't pickup at ferry terminals, shopping etc as I heard they would get beaten up by the taxi driver.
Must pickup at a non tourist spot

Last time used book private car whenever I go Batam. Pick up point at ferry mall. Now he said don't dare to accept this kind of offer anymore.
Told me got few private drivers got confront by those taxi driver. Still got his contacts.

Motorcycle ownership is accessible to them and grabcar is actually expensive because their salary is low. If they do take grab or gojek, it'll be the motorbike version

Is it? Dunno leh. I just crossed the overhead bridge to go to mega mall, because wanted to do mani/pedi. Then after that order grab pick up from mega mall. I never see the gojek stand.
