Day trip to Batam with Ivy
Quick breakfast at Toast Box
First stop, Reborn Foot Reflexology
The lady is nice to try & help me relieve my trigger finger issue but she says the condition too long already, will need very long to recover. Looks like surgery is the best way to relieve the pain.
Love the ginger tea & coconut cookies here.
We randomly walk in to Duck Kitchen for lunch
The roast duck was good with crispy skin & tender meat.
Overall the dishes are quite decent.
Lamoist is a must buy at Batam! This is by far the best kueh lapis, in my humble opinion.
Another must-buy is mie-goreng of different brands/ flavors. Batam is a World of Indo-mie 😂
My Eureka reusable bag is damn big capacity!
Maybe I should use trolley next time!
Rested for awhile before going for dinner
Saw this hotel while on the way to another mall. Just wondering, will you dare stay in this hotel? Oh btw, this is hotel is under Hotel81 & there's even a Merlion statue in the pool area! 😂
Dinner at Pempek Kolecta, another place we randomly walk in
Chicken a bit small but the taste is quite decent.
To the ferry terminal to catch a ferry home.
Loots from Batam
Waiting for Grab car to pick & send us to our first destination.
First stop: Good Morning 早·尚好
Small eatery with wonderful local breakfast. The sandwich is 👍
Walked around the area taking pictures while waiting for the next shop to open
Love the colorful benches
😆
Next stop, Morihana Pastry.
Nice & cute pastries/ cakes.
Thanks, Wendy for the birthday cake 😘
Next stop; Shi-ba Cafe
Bedroom slippers provided for all visitors.
Trying to escape 
One & only poodle
Owner is here, all the Shi-ba & Husky suddenly becomes hyper active.
According to the owner, all Shi-ba & husky are specially brought in from Japan.
There's also a couple of cats in the house which the owner rescued & he gladly allows us to cuddle the cat that's tamer. The other 2 cats are quite a handful.
Next stop; Beans Factory
Smooth beancurd & we had fun customizing our own toppings 😋
Next, we're back at City Square for some shopping before dinner. Helped le sister buy a new phone casing cos her existing casing broke last week.
Ming Anh for some local stuffs
Ooppa for Contact lens. This time, I bought grayzel & hazel. I wanted rose but no stock. So I pre-order a box of rose & 4 boxes of monthly disposable for pick-up in Jan23.
Not forgetting, Eureka Popcorn!
Oops, bought so much popcorn the staff ask me to sign up for member & get a free reusable bag.
