Am going to Batam. Meeting a guy driver from Carousell whom I trust, cod used him before. If you are keen to engage a Chinese male driver, do pm me.
He did a lot of leg work for me while trying to answer my queries about the girlie joints.

I keep hearing Morena series of joints no good, what exactly is Morena series of joints? I will be staying at Hana Hotel for a 2D1N adventure. Any advice from the bros? I don't want to waste too much time doing non essentials..

Changed money into 3 juta should be enough to play?

Heaven (New Berry) is just across the street from your hotel.

Also in the vicinity (maybe 2 streets away) is Happy8 Massage.

Pete's Dragon

The Storyline :

Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford), a woodcarver, delights local children with stories of a mysterious dragon that lives deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. His daughter Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) believes these are just tall tales, until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley), a 10-year-old orphan who says he lives in the woods with a giant, friendly dragon. With help from a young girl named Natalie (Oona Laurence), Grace sets out to investigate if this fantastic claim can be true.

In the old days when Jakarta airport wasn't even air-conditioned (during Suharto times), bringing in anything that has Chinese wordings is not legal,hence I am constantly wary of what I brought in today. After Suharto time, I believe the people working at the custom immigration of Indonesia probably become more creative on how to 'tax' tourists by bending the official rules to their advantages.

I believe the whole idea was to comply with their regulations and leave no chance for them to 'tax' me. Like i say before,crossing the Indo customs,even tho I believe I am not breaking any of their laws,it is still my greatest fear.

Hehehe...when I saw that fried fish,i am actually curious how they were able to cook it and then put them on the dining table in such a nice shape....

I think the shape of the fish being dished out on the plate is amazing!

Just to share one small little trick here if you don't wish to walk too far out to Harbour Bay Mall,simply go to the Harbour Bay Departure Hall which is where Horizon Ferry counter is located, one could easily get 30k-40k during weekdays. Reason is simple, MOST taxis drop off their customers there and you flag the taxi who drops off their customers there,taxi driver/s no need to join the queue at the Arrival Hall when they pick you up from there,it would be a win-win situation.

Yes,if one is running solo,ojek can be pretty convenient too.

I then alight at Nagoya hill shopping centre, the fare is only 3k rupiah. This is the first time in my life that I took such cheap transport in batam. I was delighted and feel a sense of satisfaction that my 3k rupiah was so well spend. After that I then walk to Formosa from Nagoya hill mall.

I have not tried taking bus yet. Maybe one day I might just hop-in.

Sometime I do look out for promotion items in Batam. When there is a food promotion like half price for gurame fried freshwater fish at EA café (level 3 Nagoya hill) and other food items, I will not hesitate to go ahead to enjoy.

I also noticed that street food in Batam are also cheap and delicious which provide another alternative in saving money . They are normally sold in mobile warung or mobile push cart kiosk with 2 wheel. Some street food include mee soto, bakso (Indonesian meat ball), rujak (Indonesian rojak), satay, etc.

Thank you for sharing. Learned something after reading your post.

One of the thing I learned in Batam was,the real cost of food is actually really cheap and when one pick a place to eat,the cost just adds up due to the kind/type of places one choose to eat.

I am actually quite surprise that Alfa Mart actually sells the same thing at a lower price as compare to K-Mart. I usually get my daily necessities from Top 100 tho or the provision shop below Formosa Hotel , Alfa Mart can be a nice mart to shop in.

Originally Posted by localbest

It has also many branches in batam. near Formosa already have two - one beside bridge massage and one near siang malam which is convenient if you are staying around the vicinity.

The good thing about Alfa Mart is that they are operating 24 hours (K-Mart too). In between walking distance from the Alfa Mart near Siang Malam sea food and Formosa,there is also another provision shop,but I don't think its 24hour. During the day,top 100 provision store (not 24hour) opposite Lovinna Inn Nagoya is nearer to go to as compare to Alfa Mart near New Siang Malam sea food store. K-Mart was just opposite Center Point (Center Point is beside Formosa),then again K-Mart is a little more expensive.

Pretend to walk away if the mami refuse to lower down the booking fee of the cewek.

Well-advised.

For Massage Parlor :

Hj = 100k rupiah

Fj = 200k rupiah

My bargaining benchmark,hehehe...

For Booking joint :

With taxi or w/o taxi,it plays an important role. But with taxi or w/o taxi in most booking joints,if one don't bargain at all,it would almost 100% be carrot pricing. In other word,the taxi comm WILL BE included in total bill even when we go w/o taxi. A few times I noticed that taxi comm were greatly reduced if i bargained.

There was once when i brought a few bros in this forum to Happy 8. They go with me on a taxi on a particular day,price for a SYT girl was about 1 million rupiah and 1.1 million rupiah respectively. But when the same duo goes to Happy 8 w/o me (and w/o any taxi driver) on their own,the price was at 1.2 to 1.3 million rupiah. They came back Sillypore to complain to me,hehehe....thats how i knew of their situation.

I dare say most Sillyporean will NOT actually be bother by paying the extra 100k to 300k variances,even if its 500k rupiah more. But i would say its NOT the 100k to 300k rupiah that counts but more of the price being stack up in the future. Today i pay 100k to 300k extra,tomorrow it can be 200k to 500k extra,the next day before you knew it,may be 300k to 800k more & it continue to adds up over time until becoming like Sillypore of the past, where an hour massage + hj = S$30 or lesser about 10 years ago. Today,its more than 3 times the amount.

Want to inflate Batam to be like Sillypore,by all means do not bargain,hehehe...just my personal point of view.

Yes,during the 1st day of the trip,when I become millionaire,i feel very rich and have the tendency to spend w/o 2nd thought. I am now very careful on my 1st day and 1st night of my trip on how I spend my money. A lot of bros whom I knew didn't know how come they spend their money away so fast,hehehe...so

No need to consult me regarding bargaining,its already in one of my post below (hehehe...) :

Just sharing my thoughts.

[xircon]

Just completed a 2D1N mission here. Looking back, some hits and misses. And probably over ambitious to do too many things.

Knowing that things are cheap here, thought of visiting hair salon, and movies, and beer garden with football in mind, those plans were dished out of the window.

Arrival at Batam Centre Hotel after my Carousell/Trip Advisor driver picked me up. Went straight to a simple but well renovated Western restaurant called Vegas near Nagoya. Ordered a Teriyaki Salmon that cost 68k which is rather cheap but the portion is small. More importantly the wifi is fast and strong inside the restaurant.

Checked into Hana Hotel, directly opposite is Happy Berry. After checking out the hotel, and do a WeChat scan using hotel wifi, found some FL looking quite good by photos posted. Decided to call a couple up to meet me in evening with the idea of tarma, or possible paying rejection fee.

Went straight to cewek shopping with driver. Happy Berry, JV Massage l, Sri Kandy, Bunga, Gold Bird and Dynasty "KTV" etc didn't find much smiling faces among the girls and "aunties". The mamasans try to up sell me the lowest BO price is 1 juta! And range up to 1.6 juta. Not moved to take any action yet but got some idea of price and quality of girls. Then head for body maintenance at Octopus Spa with good solid massage in mind. Didn't know that they try to force you to make a decision on Option A (massage with HJ) or Option B (FJ) with different prices. Option A cost me 450k with sauna jacuzzi and massage total 90min. Option B is further divided to silver and gold package pussies ready for you to poke. I am not given the chance to see girls to take option A or B or didn't really see the quality of the girls. But I come across some heavily make up girls in stilettos and cheap perfume strutting around with customers. Look somewhat like KTV girls standard. The price for Silver package is 740k and Gold is 950k.
My ferry is coming. Will update further. Cheers!

Yes octopus is bad and expensive skip octopus spa

The price you mentioned exclude tipping as well.

[AhPui8]

With taxi still bargain. No wonder all the price is fucking high nowadays. Simple logic for us to know. When you come in with taxi still want bargain, no problem. I will jack up the price high high every time. This is the mindset of every boss of the working girls here.

Last time no taxi, we bargain. Okt say ok. Got taxi we no bargain but free taxi fare. This go on for so many years. Until this fucking bargain tinky come. All price go up like hell. Don,t know who spoilt the fucking market here.

And now still got people admit say food is indeed cheap in batam here.

[tomcat007]

OK. Noted.

It cost around 800-1.5 juta a room in nagoya/jodoh/utama/peniun area. It can also cost as low as 500k a month in btm center / nongsa/ sekupang / batu aji area. Kost are not really safe as you'll be living with different kinds of people. Most common tenent are those single mum with their children and her elderly mother or aunt. These kost often had shortage of water, short circuit of electricity and leaking of water during rain.

Wow! Thx 4 yr useful info.

I knw tis is late,but got ans better than no ans. Morena is a series of joints run base on cubicle-form/kost-form instead of the usual fish tank concept. The pl usually wil hav the word Morena inside/outside the shp. Tis grp of shps aldy hav a superb bad name,so nwaday they jus took off their Morena sign board but inside of it stil has the sign.

Hwver in tis thread,i hear it's stil good for ST but not overnite. Overnite 2 em usually means 4-5 hrs bking period ,costing a mil rp+.The gers will be ask to go back 2 their Morena joints by okt..a lot of bros here aldy kena hit (if u r willin 2 read back).

Go @ yr own risk. Oh,& btm taxi drivers wil be dyin to bring u there,jus tel em Morena ger booking. U might jus see taxi driver droolin if u ever bk a ger frm there.

Just wish to offer some alternative opinions..

If you are not the sort that must demand 5/7/10/50 shots per booking...Morena girls can be suitable for you. I've not mentioned in this forum before... But I did book 1 Morena girl before. Recently too. From 1.3 juta cut till 900k. 24 years single mum (what's new), clean shaven pussy, Nov smoker, slim, and comes with bbbj.

Morena joints are my last resort that night. I took the last ferry to Batam to meet a regular, only to be told when I'm halfway there that she's on menses. Imagine how dulan I am.

Nvm. Have my message first from King's, in my room. Then... Got an ojet to bring me around look for girls. After a few Morena joints, got pubs type, guy salon type, even got one that I went up to their kost to view the girls. Lol.. must thank my friend "bro S" for bringing me around visiting Morena joints before.

Finally settled on this 1.3juta-to-900k rp babe. She really is a babe. I would be fine if she wanted to leave after giving me one good round. But, she did stay until morning.

So, ya.. it depends on luck. But then, it's the same depend one luck for booking joints girls too. Except that, with booking joints, usually you get the fuck-all-you-can experience. Good for those who wanna try outdo their fucking records. Not me. Old already. 2-3 rounds per night is enough. Especially with a delicious babe.

Just came back from another 2D1N trip. Just a coincidence that a fellow bro from forum is there too. Managed to book a delicious 20 y/o pretty lass. Though she's a bit short on the service front (no bbbj, no dfk), but she must be credited for her effort to try make me cum and also not minding having to go on top for extended periods, go into doggie for long period too, only lastly offering raw (when she initially protested but, not for fearing getting illness, only for fearing of getting pregnant) when she don't see me coming soon. I tempted her going raw only for testing her, not that I wanted it. Of course, I did not take up her offer. And just kept pounding away. Must thank the ibu are Indorasa for her vitalitas that, when I finally came, my shots are landing on my girl's forehead and she goes screaming "koko jahad".. lol.. OK lo, let me service her showering, after all, I get to enjoy the tight body. If she never mention her age, I would have thought that I'm pounding a 16 years old. No pedophile here, OK.. just someone who enjoy fucking young legal-age meimei..

Fr over.

[darkkrait]

Hi guys I was wondering if all the hotels in batam allow us to bring the working girls in overnight? Or is it only selected hotels that allow?
