Yup. My Indonesian friends brought it for me from time to time. But the nice ones are expensive. Sometimes I feel that it's better to just buy it in Singapore.
Don't buy Krispy Kreme because it will open at Tangs from 1 October.
Depending on your budget, here are some ideas:
- Batik shirts from Batik Keris. They even have Disney designs for kids, which I find quite unique. Most larger malls should have an outlet. Here's a complete list (look at the left-most column): Batik Keris
- Local cakes and pastries such as "pisang molen" (one of my favourites) from Kartika Sari, or other local pastries from Holland Bakery or Monami. They have several outlets at major malls.
- Local dry snacks such as banana crisps. There's a shop called Aneka Citra Snacks that sells those. Google them or try their facebook page to find their outlets. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anek...ia/225054424233355?id=225054424233355&sk=info
- Instant noodles! Visit any of their hyper markets and be spoiled for choice.
- Coffee and tea. Some of my friends love a brand of tea called Prendjak. It costs like $0.50 for a box of 25 tea bags. It's some kind of black tea that has a hint of rose aroma.
- Peanuts, if you love peanuts. They have a lot more variety than what we have here in Singapore.
Except for the first 3 items in the above list, most of these can also be found in Batam.
Btw, which Ritz Carlton (Mega Kuningan or Pacific Place)?
