I always order this dish when it's available. The one here was alright. Expensive restaurant for Batam.

Normal. Expensive restaurant for Batam.

Very spicy for some reason. You can see the chilli. Expensive restaurant by Batam's standards.

Aka pork rib, but it's perfectly boneless so I can't bring myself to call it that. Damn good.

Nice. The spring onion machiam free one.

Cannot beat freshly fried prawns.

This rarely goes wrong anywhere. A bit watery.

A signature dish of theirs. Really well done chicken with little bones. Interesting sauce too.

Ayam penyet, ayam balado, beef rendang, kangkong, hard-boiled eggs. Food felt authentically Indonesian, but small portions, and would be expensive if order more. Real Indo also meant very spicy!

I've always loved this for the contrasting texture. They executed it well here.

From the corner stall nearest to the carpark. Old-school hawker centre zichar, so the prices looked low. Unfortunately it felt like a rip-off. Nice but pricey for so little.

Given they're a strong brand, I'm surprised the sauce was a tad bland. But the fish was fresh and plump, and the egg was beautiful.
