we were not sure what to do in batam... | vlog 

As a local living in Batam, I honestly don't know what to do here either... all I do is stay at home, go to school, or go do school work in a random cafe in Grand Batam lol

Holiday Inn used to be better, if not one of the better hotels on the island. However in the recent years before COVID happened, the hotel rooms starting to be dated, they did go through a few rounds of minor "room renovations". After COVID happened, me and my family figured that Holiday Inn was no longer worthwhile to revisit and risk a few nights there. Batam, pretty much for me and my family is lepak, eat seafood, shop a bit, massage a bit, then head back to SG...

Batam really very nice. I been to Nagoya Hill shopping centre, quite nice. 😊 I also wrote on a cruise where I have some karaoke singing party on the ride.

i enjoyed watching this vlog!

We just stayed in Batam. We stayed at the Panbil Residence Apartment, it was great (with gym, swimming pool, restaurants), we just enjoyed not doing much ahah. Went to see Nongsa beach, went to Bintan for an afternoon and went to the Panbil Nature Reserve. We had a few swims where we stayed, and plenty of food. :)

Next time can consider batamfast tickets too! Slightly cheaper round trip tix at 73 per pax. And I love the seafood at golden prawn 933 😋

Walao Amanda! The best food is at the hawker centre! Alot of interesting things too over at pasar penuin

Maybe you could try I hotel Baloi (many Singaporean stay there) next time, it is next to BCS mall, A2 foodcourts, many massage shophouses and within walking distance to Grand Batam Mall. Holiday Inn is too far, nothing much nearby.

I stayed in Aston Hotel Batam & Residence. The hotel service is good and inclusive breakfast. Breakfast till 10am so you won't need to wake up early. 😂

If I did go to Batam, I wouldn't spend time in shopping malls or massages, or stay in a western-chain hotel. I would stay in a good local hotel, visit some kampungs if I can get to one, and eat at a local food outlet - after checking if it looks decent (hygenic) enough. In short - I will try my best to avoid all places catering to tourists.

Selamat berlibur kakak Amanda semoga bahagia selalu🙏

hi Amanda, I saw today 10march 2024 in the evening at Waterway Point NTUC,OMG , i was so happy but too scared to ask you guys!!!!! Your english is magnificent and i love your videos so much !!!!!! so happy 😀!!!!

My humour was broken cz I laughed at the Dior joke 😂

Your skin is really good!!!

where do you book the hotels & ferry tickets from?

Saw you at Bendeemer road today.. gosh you're beautiful in person 😂😂

I stopped going to batam for many years. Custom officers use to ask for bribes. I wonder if it still happens now?

Haven't been to Batam like .....Since when.....Oh man..... Thanks for showing around and sharing.....

What was holding in price per night

If I go Batam, there's nothing except the Kueh Lapis that I would just get. Cos even Bengawan Solo Kueh Lapis the butter quality not there.

Were u able to use ur Singapore account for grab or gojek or must buy local indo simcard

Hi Amanda, where is the lying down cinema at?

Batam, really, nothing much. Except for the kuih lapis. That's all. But you should try to go to Barelang Bridge. The seaview is nice. And also please get a driver, they can recommend you cheap and nice food.

I went to the same restaurant that u find the food salty. When in Batam always ask for less or no sweet and salt. Their seasoning is like free one

The dior one got me 🤣🤣🤣

When we go Batam, we stayed at KTM resort at Sekupang island, the resort is nice❤

U MUST STAY AT MONTIGO RESORTS NONGSA OR TURI BEACH!!!lot's of activitiy there,for the cafe u can go to Atlantis beach club or Next level cafe ,It wasss sooo good place!!!

Its unfortunate that you pick the wrong hotel during your trip to Batam, it could have been a good experience if the hotel is better.

Next time you go Nagoya food court, and there's a hotel opposite of it

Hi! I have a question for you. When you arrive at Seaport Batam. Did they ask you About your vaccination status?

batam has barelang fishing pond.... which is a bigger and cheaper version of d'best pond in pasir ris if that suits ur fancy lol (prolly not tho but then again im a fisherman in america) 😂😂 was the food that bad? cuz u didnt make those faces with the eatbook 72 hour canned food challenge

If the ferry wasnt expensive i would go batam. But for now i see no point..similar to jb..but the $8 bed movie is a killer. Would cost rm100++ in jb

Your hotel area quite far from city center 😩😂 next time if u come batam again find hotel nagoya or baloi area so quite nearby with all stuff

I only stay in Montigo Resorts in Batam and I hardly leave the resort unless to have seafood outside. Hahahahaha there’s really nothing so I rather splurge on the accommodations.

Is the Polo Ralph Lauren there real or fake?

turi beach resort and turi beach (if u guys like beach)

Taxi driver in Singapore much worst ehhh. U will not only vomit but maybe admit at hospital

any good hotel to recommend?

Please to all ppl dun try their coffee is really🤢🤮

orang singapur ini yaaa semua dikomplain, emang bener kata orang2 kalau org singapur tukang complain. kesel gua liatnya jujur wkwkwkwkwk
