Batam Day 2


That was breakfast the next morning. There wasn't much variety I guess but the porridge was not bad. Im quite the heavy eater for Breakfast. I love my eggs and bacon.


They serve their sunny side-ups in a smiley face. How cute!


We spent the second day mainly doing a tour of Batam. It was quite a packed schedule with many pit-stops. You would think that it was a pretty huge place, but they were actually just driving in circles all the time. The land area was probably as small as within Jurong itself.




A roadside stall selling Keropok that we were told to refrain eating from as they will give us tummyaches.


 


We went on to visit a home making Kueh Lapis which is a type of layered cake.



This is the tiny space where they make the Kuehs



These are light and flouncy (fluffy and bouncy) (:



 

Look at my dad pointing at the numbers '9086'. Coincidentally the 4 numbers of our car plate.



The sky was such an azure blue that day, I was basking in great weather.



We had lunch the next day at Restaurant 933. The dishes were definitely much better than the ones that we ordered next door. The chilli crab was too spicy for my liking though.





We were brought to watch a performance later near the restaurants that included dancing, eating glass, peeling a coconut open with bare teeth and jumping through a fire hoop.

 

These kids are so cute, wearing that ape mask. They also tried to imitate the adults' movements.





Also went on to view a garden filled with many miniature buildings.


 



Took some really silly photos with fake wooden animals (haha)


This was the go-kart track that was located very near the hotel. You can see the hotel at the background of the picture.




We went to a nearby shopping center and even went for a 1.5 hours massage. The massage this time round was not bad although you could hear old uncles snoring a few metres away from you, very disturbing...


This is our last stop before boarding the ferry back to Singapore. We ordered mee goreng and fried rice to share and were minutes from boarding the ferry. They also had a pretty good deal, giving free bread with kaya with every drink ordered. I was so tired, I slept an entire hour on the ferry.

Guess Batam just wasn't a very exciting place to go to. However, the tid-bits and crackers I brought back were pretty yummy. (:
