2D1N Batam Trip (from deal.com.sg) - Part I: Batam MegaMall

I had bought this 2D1N package from deal.com.sg

Excludes passenger's departure fee of S$6 p/p and fuel surcharge of S$14/- totalling to S$20 p/p. Payable upon to ferry operator upon collection of boarding pass. Batam terminal fee of $7/- payable upon departure from Batam ferry terminal

We reached the HarbourFront counter at around 8.45am.  We queued at the "Advance Booking" queue and we got our tickets at around 9am.  We thought of going for a nice breakfast at MacDonalds as we thought we were still early.  However, the service staff advised us we to check in immediately as the ferry was full.

We decided to have a quick breakfast at this cafe.  Ordered the $2 breakfast each.

My Boarding Pass

The eggs were inside the metal tin.

We got to cover it for about 10 minutes so that they would be cooked.

 Cracked the egg and then realized it was still quite raw... Dare not eat this and we got to discard it away :(

 Reached Harris, Batam
Their mascot is this Dino and they were doing some dance to welcome the newly arrived guests.  :)  We were served with a wet towel, a glass of sweet drink and cookies too!  Nice gesture!

Dino was very hot.  Haha...

Checked into our room.  This is at the old wing, 4th level.

 As we missed the free shuttle to Nagoya, we took a cab from Harris to Batam Megamall.  Cost $15 one way.  The journey takes about 25 minutes.  We had our lunch at this Bakso restaurant.  What do you think I would want to order at Bakso?  Of course, it would be Bakso (Meat ball) right?  However, all the bakso dishes were not available.  :(

Sweet and Sour Fried Cuttlefish

Fried Prawn Fritters (Not nice, too much flour)

Avocado Drink

After lunch, we went to the Polo Ralph Lauren shop. However, it was not really a fruitful trip to the Polo Ralph shop as we didn't like their new designs, so we left empty-handed. We went back MegaMall for shopping, bought some stuff like body scrub, beer from the Hypermart.

 We had A&W rootbeer float and some chicken wings before we took the cab back to Harris for our massage session.
