Batam City Tour [Day 2]

 

On the next day I spent my morning at the hotel because I was left by my mom and my sister. They went hunting for a secondhand imported stuffs. So me and my nieces and nephews took a little walk around the hotel to see the surroundings. What's funny I felt from Batam was unlike any other tourism city, you can rarely find pedestrians. Local people said that it's very rare for people to take a walk. Even at a walking distance, they prefer to ride a motorcycle. No wonder when we walked around that morning, we felt many people strangely starred at us, I don't know may be it's funny for them. Hahahaha

Anyway, after that awkward morning, we went to have lunch on Bengkong area. My second day was all about seafood hunting. We went to famous seafood resto which was Golden Prawn 933. 

 

At the front door we already greeted by lively sea creature from shrimp, prawn, crab, gong gong. We could choose our menu there. 

    

A light breeze and nice view were Golden Prawn's fascination. It's decorations was condensed with old Chinese which wood ornament and colorful curtain in typical. Also what made it unique, this resto built above water so we could directly see the fish were being caught. 

Their signature menu were Crab, Squid, Gong-gong (their local food, i've mentioned it on my last post), kale, fish, shrimp, dessert and bunch of rice. Believe us those plenty food were perfectly moved to our tummy. Yummy!

After lunch, we visited their souvenir shop called Golden Tourist Shop. You could buy unique handy craft here. There's a lot of unique, hand made stuffs you could get with relatively cheap price. Most of them were made from wood and crafted with cute form. 

 

If you need snacks to bring home, don't forget to come to Yong Heng Food Trading. The distance was not very far from Golden Prawn. This shop was full of various favor and shape of chips. Start from ordinary until extraordinary shape. 

Last stop for dinner was Harbour Bay Seafood Resto. This place is the largest outdoor destination to have a fresh seafood party. Harbour Bay is located at Jodoh area. This place was open from 10 AM to 10 PM. It's attraction was we can see beautiful sunset while enjoying our food. 

For the food we recommended were Ayam Goreng Saus Lemon, Soup Asparagus Daging Kepiting and Gong-gong (already become the favorite menu.

When the night came, the light would turn on and the atmosphere became so romantic here.

Harbour Bay became our last stop before left back to hotel. I will let you know my last day exploring Batam on my next post.  See you again!
