What can we do in Batam for less than $200?
Morning take ferry ($44) from 小岛 to Batam. It takes an hour to reach Batam. Get a immigration stamp on your passport (priceless). Go do SPA (range from $30 to $50) for ~3 hours. Have lunch at Golden Prawn ($14). I guess this is the only decent restaurant in town. The food is so-so only. If you fancy some Kuih Lapis ($24 for 1.5kg), order before SPA and collect it after lunch. Fresh from oven. Get ready to go back to Ferry Terminal. Collect ferry ticket and then do some shopping in the MegaMall across the street. Buy 2 packets of Lays potatoes chips ($0.90 per pack), some J.Co donut ($8.10 for a dozen) and A&W rootbeer ($2). They use soft ice-cream... Weird.
Sea port tax in SG $20 and Indo $7. Comparing Vivocity + HarbourFront + NEL + Seah Im to Batam MegaMall, we will roughly know why there is such a big difference.
