[ID; 2022] Batam Day 2
Batam Day 2
R&R to the maximum! Woke up rather late but made it in time for hotel breakfast - almost all food was gone. Lesson learnt.
1. Shopping & Lunch
Started off our day heading to a shopping mall!
Grand Batam Mall
There was so much to see, shop and eat over there - quite spoilt for choices!

We decided to go for desserts before lunch - strange sequence of meals but yes we did!
It was toooo sweet for me - it really think Singapore has well trained our sugar tolerance to be rather low. But very instagrammable place!
Although the service was slow, food also appeared slow... but I would really recommend their duck dishes. It was so yummy that I couldn't stop eating!Duck Kitchen
2. Massage
After some rounds around the mall, we decided we need some break aka massage time. Google showed us a place with quite high rating and I recognised the brand instantly as I stayed in their hotel the previous trip: [ID; 2018] BATAM GETAWAY
And we went during weekdays plus raining day hence we had a table with some view of the sea.
Drink prices were quite on par with Singapore pricing.
They were a little hard selling the massage package, but once you are determined to say no, they respected it. So it wasn't that bad.Eska Wellness Spa Grand Batam Penuin
It was a relaxing 1-2 hour massage (Aromatherapy Touch Massage - Traditional Javanese Essential Oil), I could feel that the masseuse really gave in her 100% dedication to this task. So I ended up having a lot of blue-blacks around my body after the massage.
I'm unsure whether I would want to return back, but I did enjoy the whole process. Probably next time to tell the masseuse to put in 80% effort will do.
3. Dinner - Seafood
We decided to go for a good seafood meal and was recommended by peers to try these:Wey Wey Palace
Every dish was awesome! The seafood meal was so cheap that we were doubting, cannot remember the exact price but probably SGD$50 odd for so much dishes for 2!
4. After Party
Recommended by all the social media, another place for real drinks. Rooftop of Marriott, just walkable distance from the seafood place.Atas hotel with atas rooftop.Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay
Cheers to end the night!
