3D 2N Batam Part II

Halo semua! 

Nih nih lanjutan Blog di Batam,
yang udah di tunggu-tunggu.

Pagi-pagi kita gak breakfast di hotel. Kita cus pergi ke A2 Foodcourt yang kemarin nya saya pergi juga. Dan emang benar kalau pagi tuh cuma setengah dari malam yang buka. Tapi, setengah aja yang buka, pilihannya udah banyak.

Kita pesan:

Minuman 16rb
Teh Tarik
Cham (Teh+Kopi+Susu)

• Teh tariknya enak.... Makan pagi dengan teh tarik hangat tuh mantap.
Cham nya sih cuma oke-oke.

Makanan:
- Sebelah Stall Bubur
Bakmi Wanton + Coipan 45rb
• Bakmi nya ukurannya biasa kok, terus ini juga not bad. Coipannya juga agak berbeda sama yang biasa saya makan di Jakarta. Tapi ini juga enak. Apalagi di tambah sambel. beh!

- Stall Bubur
Bubur Ayam & Telur Pitan (22rb) + Steamed Dumpling 10pcs (38rb)

• Buburnya enak, porsinya juga gak kecil kok. Cocok untuk yang butuh kehangatan #eh. Kalau steamed dumpling nya menarik banget, karena dia setengah di steam, setengah di goreng. Jadi yang crunchy cuma salah satu permukaannya aja. Jadi kalori nya ga separah kalo di deep fried kok, santai aja. Tapi bukan soal kalori nya, tastenya mantap! Boleh deh di coba. Buat saya sih,ini pertama kali nemu yang kaya gini, jadi merasa ini unik.

#untuk alamat A2 Food Court, ada di post an sebelumnya ya 😉 http://pricillchandra.blogspot.co.id/2017/02/3d-2n-in-batam-part-i.html

"food is essential to life. therefore..

make it good"

Habis makan, lanjut deh acaranya, kita berkunjung ke salah satu PAUD. yang bekerja sama dengan salah satu gereja. Kalau di tanya nama PAUD nya apa. saya kurang tahu, cuma saya dan rombongan datang, untuk bagiin bingkisan untuk anak-anaknya. Senang banget bisa melihat anak-anak kecil sejak dini itu semangat belajar. Mereka lagi belajar mengeja. Dan mereka semua tuh sangat bersemangat gitu, tertib juga. Semoga semakin hari, pendidikan di Indonesia semakin baik ya. Jadi masa depan anak-anak Indonesia juga semakin baik.

Selesai dari PAUD, itu uda hampir jam makan siang juga. Kita pergi ke Eatern Food court. Seberang nya BCS Mall. Itu dekat juga letaknya sama A2 Food Court. Cuma kalau Eatern ini secara luas, lebih kecil dari A2. Dan bukanya cuma sampai siang sore gitu. Tapi.... Ramenya juga gak kalah. Pas kita datang, semua meja terisi penuh. Jadi kita menunggu sampai ada yang selesai. Kita kesini itu nyari namanya Sup Ikan Keladi.

Nih pesanan kita:

- Sup Ikan Bening
- Sup Ikan Keladi (Sup Ikan tapi ada talasnya di dalam)

- Nasi Putih
- Udang goreng

- Ikan Goreng
- Mie Pangsit

- Tahu, dan Sayuran di Stall Nasi Campur

- Es Barley
- Es Teh tarik
- Jus Sirsak

You know what? This lunch was super awesome. Seriusan ini makan siang seru, asik, enak dan mantap. Udah makannya bareng-bareng, makanannya enak. Jadi seru rame-rame deh. Saya pribadi, suka banget sama sup ikan keladi nya. Dan harganya di sini jauh lebih murah daripada makan sup ikan di Jakarta. Harganya saya gak gitu pasti karena ini bayarnya sekali sekaligus, jadi saya gak tahu harga pastinya berapa. Cuma, worth it kok untuk kesini makan sop nya.

"calories don't count. at least, on the weekend.."

Habis makan, kita mau turunin dulu makanan dengan jalan-jalan keliling mall nagoya. Agak sorean, kita ada acara berkunjung ke salah satu Panti Asuhan gitu. Kita datang untuk berbagi kasih, bagi hadiah, bingkisan, buku-buku bacaan, mainanan untuk mereka. Sedih rasanya melihat mereka ini, dalam 1 rumah yang tinggal lebih dari 15 orang. Tempatnya tidak begitu besar.. Yang paling kecil sekitar 5 tahun. Yang besar ada yang sudah 20an tahun. Sedang kuliah. Tetapi mereka tetap tersenyum bahagia dengan keadaan apapun. Bersyukurlah kita yang masih bisa tinggal dirumah yang enak, dengan keluarga yang lengkap. Kita juga bawa makanan untuk makan bersama dengan mereka. 

Sudah menjelang jam 6 sore kita balik ke arah hotel karena malam akan ada acara lagi. Tapi sebelum balik ke hotel, kita mampir dulu ke tempat yang semalam saya juga pergi. yang ada Teh Tarik Brothers dll. Tapiiii, hari ini hampir segala macem kita cobain. Kalian bisa lihat lagnsung foto-fotonya di bawah ini, foto menjelaskan segalanya. 

Bahkan sebenarnya ada lagi makanan yang di pesan dan belom ada di foto. Jadi kalian bisa bayangin betapa penuhnya meja makan kita ini. Asli enak semua deh. Kalau kalian bingung itu stall yang mana-mana aja, kalian begitu ke lokasi nya, kalian akan ngerti gimana. Itu sebelah-sebelahan doang kok, jadi kalian tinggal lihat terus pilih yang mana yang mau di order. 

Dan basically ini sum up hari ke dua saya di Batam. Saya akan lanjutin cerita di hari ke tiga aja karena kita cuma singkat aja di hari ke tiga. 

Day 3:

Saya dan rombongan pergi beli oleh-oleh di Kek Pisang Villa Batam (Cabang Nagoya)

Alamat: Jl. Imam Bonjol Blok F No. 51 Nagoya

(Samping Hotel Nagoya Plasa)

Lubuk Baja Kota, Lubuk Baja,

Kota Batam, Kepulauan Riau

29432, Indonesia

Telp: +62 778 458354

Opening Hours: 7AM–10PM

Kalau mau beli oleh-oleh makanan, di sini aja, cukup banyak pilihan kok, dan gak mahal juga. 

Daripada harus pergi beli di mall kan, mereka juga bisa bantu kotak in kok. Jadi memudahkan kalian kalau udah mau pulang nantinya.

Terus sambil ngarah ke Bandara, saya dan rombongan mampir ke Nongsa Point Marina & Resort. Kalau menginap di sini, asiknya tuh lihatin pemandangannya, udah di pinggir laut gitu, bisa ngadem sambil ngelihatin pemandangan, santai, dan banyak bagus untuk berfoto-foto. Kita sih mampir cuma duduk-duduk beli minum dan foto-foto aja, karena kita akan kembali ke Jakarta di hari itu. Kalau kalian tertarik, bisa cek-cek di Internet untuk harganya, dsbnya.

Address: Jl. Hang Lekiu, Sambau, Nongsa,

Kota Batam,

Kepulauan Riau 29466,

Indonesia

Phone: +62 778 761333

Dan gak lupa, kita makan siang seafood terdekat dari Nongsa, jujur sih saya gak ingat nama restoran nya, cuma untuk harga dan rasa, serta pelayanan, cuma rata-rata aja. Kalau berdasarkan teman yang tinggal di Batam, banyak kok seafood yang lebih enak. Salah satunya di dekat Barelang. Habis dari makan siang, kita langsung cus ke Bandara untuk flight balik. Bersyukur banget dari cuaca bagus, terus gak delay, gak begitu ramai juga, dan sampailah kita di Jakarta.

Sampai di sini dulu ceritanya tentang Batam, yang pasti sih saya bakal balik lagi one day ke Batam, untuk explore lebih banyak. Kemarin ini waktunya lumayan singkat.

Pastinya si dari suatu kota pasti ada banyak hal menarik yang bisa di cari, yang bisa di kunjungi dan makanan-makanan yang unik yang berbeda dari asal kota sendiri.

Thanks for reading, dan Stay tune ya until post berikutnya!

Happy Monday peeps :D

Have nice day!

3D 2N in Batam Part I

"people who loves to eat are the happy one. and people who enjoys their life sure the happy one too - unknown"

Hi guys!
Kali ini saya akan berbagi tentang Batam. Jadi akhir pekan kemarin saya pergi ke Batam. Selama 3 hari. Ternyata dari Jakarta ke Batam tuh gak jauh ya, cuma 1 jam 20menitan gitu. Penerbangan juga lumayan banyak pilihan sih, jadi enak kalau mau ke Batam.

Di hari pertama begitu sampai Airport, nama Airport nya Hang Nadim International Airport. Lalu, saya ada sewa mobil bersama rombongan dari Jakarta. Kita ber7 jumlahnya. Kita ada sewa mobil Innova 1. Yang nyetir salah satu antara kita, jadi gak butuh supir. Well, kalau kalian tanya masalah harga, saya totally gak tau soal ini. Terus mobilnya udah di anter sama supirnya ke Airport pas kita dateng, jadi memudahkan kita untuk pergi ke downtown nya deh. Karna kita udah laper, kita melimpir ke tempat yang gak begitu jauh, namanya Kepri Mall. Akhirnya kita memilih Malaya Cafe. Dikarenakan gak tau lagi di situ apa yang enak yang kita bisa makan. Cuma berjalan kemana angin membawa.

Yang kita pesen tuh, Buncis Telur Asin, Kangkung Belacan, Sup Ikan, Ayam Goreng Serai, Tauge, Es Buah.

Sebenarnya harus saya bilang, taste di restoran ini tuh enak, porsinya tapi gak gede, kalau mau makan 1 2 orang pesen 1 porsi 1 porsi gitu tuh oke, tapi karena kita ramai, dan kita gak tau porsi nya kecil, jadi kaya makan nya bagi-bagi dengan sangat sedikit, bukan nya gak mau pesan lagi, cuma sayangnya kita pesan aja sampai makanannya datang tuh bisa 45menit, hampir aja kita cancel, baru keluar deh tuh makanan. Service nya yang musti di perhatikan sih.

Kepri Mall
Jl. Jend. Sudirman, Sukajadi, Batam 29444
Opening Hours: 10am-10pm

Habis makan, yang tidak begitu kenyang, Kita melanjutkan perjalanan ke PAUD. Ini sejalan ke arah kita ke Hotel. Cuma tidak begitu paham sama lokasinya. Jadi PAUD ini baru berdiri tidak begitu lama. terbagi jadi 2 kelas, pagi sama siang. Pas kita dateng, ada 8 anak. Lucu-lucu deh, mereka lagi belajar mengeja. Pelajaran sejak dini tuh penting banget. Untuk masa depan mereka. Kita berkunjung untuk berbagi hadiah, sama bingkisan. Terus foto-foto sama mereka. Senangnya bisa berbagi sama mereka deh.

Habis itu langsung deh kita ke hotel untuk check in. Kita menginap di Novotel Hotel.

Novotel Hotel Batam
Jalan Duyung Sei Jodoh,
Batam 29432

Telepon: +62778425555
Website:
http://m.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-1946-novotel-batam/index.shtml

Book dari Agoda kemarin ini ada Promo, sekitar Rp550.000-Rp600.000  per kamar udah termasuk dengan Breakfast. Kamarnya besar, bahkan saya tidur ber3 masih lega, ada sofa yang bisa buat tiduran juga di kamarnya. Amenities lengkap kok, kulkas, TV, hairdryer, Pemanas Air, dsb. Facilities juga lengkap, ada kolam renang ada gym juga. Bahkan Gym nya sendiri ada kelas-kelas gitu, jadwalnya bisa di lihat di sana, biasa kelasnya malam, ada Zumba, Yoga, dll. Mantap juga kan?

Habis sampai di hotel, biasa nya udah pada males gerak, karena kan baru landing, jadi capek, apalagi kita flightnya yang pagi-pagi banget. Alhasil kita istirahat di hotel deh sampai sore.

Kalau kata pepatah, kadang di hati niatnya apa, tapi nyatanya gimana. Ya begitu lah saya, waktu itu niatnya gym,  tapi karena semalaman suntuk belum istirahat, jadinya malah ketiduran. Ya udalah ya, di senyumin aje.

Next, jam 7 saya di jemput sama salah satu teman yang udah lama gak ketemu, kita temenan pas kuliah, tapi semenjak lulus dan karena dia tinggal di Batam dan saya di Jakarta. Jadi susah banget ketemunya. Nah terus dia jam jemput terus saya di bawa pergi ke satu tempat makan. Daerahnya itu tuh bukan cuma 1 tempat makan doang, jadi di area itu ada beberapa makanan, terus sharing Meja di tempat terbuka gitu. Ada juga kok yang tertutup. Ada banyak tempat duduknya kok. Untungnya tidak ramai banget. Jadi gak usah sempit2an sama orang lain kanan kiri, ataupun ngantri. Teman saya yang pesan saja, karena saya tidak tahu menahu, cuma saya udah research-research sebelum datang, kira-kira banyak orang pesan apa.

Jadi ini yang kita pesan hari itu:

1. Stall Teh Tarik Brothers
- Ngo Hiang
- Sua He Pia
- Mie Pangsit Ayam (Mie Tipis di sajikan bersama irisan Daging Char Siew Ayam, di tambah sup Baso ikan)
- Minuman : Lidah Buaya Dingin
Ngo Hiang dan Sua He Pia itu gorengan yang di letakkin di depan stallnya. Nanti makannya sama saos sambal gitu. Yah, namanya gorengan pasti enak ya.
Mie Pangsit nya juga enak kok.

2. O-Luak 138
- Oyster & Prawn Omelette
Ini saya juga rekomen untuk coba. Mungkin di gigitan pertama kaya biasa aja. Tapi ud ke dua tiga kali, pasti nagih. Bisa minta Omelette nya sama oyster doank, atau campur atau udang doang. Harganya 20-30rb aja.

Makan di Batam tuh uda masih murah, bisa dapat banyak pula. Asik deh kulineran malem-malem. Puas juga jadinya.

Alamatnya: Jalan Pembangunan, Lubuk baja, Kota Batam 29444, Indonesia

Dan untuk mengakhiri dinner kita hari itu, kita makan es cendol di A2 Foodcourt. Seger-seger gituh. Enak dan murah.

Ini Foodcourt buka 24 jam, kalau paig siang gitu, bukanya cuma setengah, tapi believe me, setengah foodcourt aja udah bingung pasti mau makan yang mana. Pengen di coba-coba semua. Karena datengnya pas udah kenyang jadi emang berencana akan bawa rombongan dari Jakarta makan di sini dalam salah 1 meal. Kalau malem, ini buka semua. Ya ampun, itu rame, banyak banget pilihan, terus suasananya mengingatkan saya sama suasana tempat makan di Malaysia gitu. Yang pasti gak sabar buat balik lagi untuk cobain yang lain deh.

Alamat: Jalan Laksamana Bintan Kompleks Gading MAS, Batu Selicin, Lubuk Baja, Batam 29444
Indonesia

Ditunggu ya update-an selanjutnya. Masih di kota Batam!

A Short Visit to Shen Zhen 深圳

Travel is like knowledge. The more you see, the more you know you haven't seen. - Mark Hertsguard

An hour of ferry trip, take us from Macau to Shenzhen.
It's better trip rather than former ferry trip. Maybe, the waves wasn't too big.
Oh well, after all we reached Shenzhen around evening, drop the luggage at the hotel, and we just end of night by strolling around the Luo Hu Commercial City, where cheap stuffs are sold. A 10-mins walk from our hotel. 

We stay in this hotel..

Century Plaza Hotel
Address: 4001, Chunfeng Rd, RenMin NanLu,
Luohu QU, Shenzhen Shi, Guangdong Sheng,
China 518000

Phone: +86 755 8232 0888

One thing you should know before you go to Shenzhen, Shenzhen needs another visa, different with HongKong and Macau, it is not a visa on arrival thing, so make sure you prepare your China visa, before you go. And they are very strict about it.

The very next day, we went to one jewerly place, I am sorry I cannot remember the name. And also a medicine house, sort of. Besides those two, we went to the tourist attractions, which were Windows of the World 世界之窗 and Splendid China 锦绣中华民俗村

1. Windows of the World 

it is a theme park located in Shenzhen City, featuring more than 100 miniatures of the world's famous iconic landmark. Some miniatures are small, I mean smaller than us when we take picture with the building. But some are big enough, like Eiffel Tower, you even can go up to certain level, using elevator or stairs. It is just not as tall and as big as the real one. But it is one of the iconic landmark that is bigger than the others. We rent a small car (I called it car, though) fit all of us, around 18-20 pax + 1 driver, so that we do not waste our time to walk all the way around the park. We got not enough time for it. If you got more time, it is nicer to walk around, and take lots of pictures. And the car that we rent inside there, got explanation as we go around the theme park. 

After finish one round, we are allowed to go ourselves around, for 30mins like that, there is a musical show below the Eiffel Tower, I am not sure there is some similar show every period of time, or it is once in a day thing. You can ask for more information about it to the information counter if you would like to see. 
This theme park brings you see the whole world is all about, the beautiful Amsterdam, Italy, England, Asia, and more.

Here is the details:

It was fun trip in ShenZhen, see whole world in just one day. the Cultural shows were both incredibly good and worth to see too. 

The next day we do not have any places to visit, so I decided to walk from the hotel, walk all the way almost at the end of the street, just to enjoy the city of Shen Zhen, buy some snacks like Pao, Red Bean Porridge, and Milk Tea from 一點點. I used to drink this Nai Cha during my study in Shanghai. :D. And those snacks that I bought around the corner of the street, it's all so cheap, you should enjoy the street foods from Shen Zhen while you can. 
Before we going back to Hong Kong, me and parents ate dim sum in small restaurant nearby the hotel. And it's all nice!

Hong Kong Trip Part II

Hong Kong Trip - Part II

I had breakfast at Fairwood not so far from the guest house. Fairwood is similar to Cafe de Coral. It offers a wide variety of Local Chinese dishes, and Western dishes too. They have mentioned that according to the preference of the customers, they have "no MSG" food series, and authentic dishes from other parts of Asia too. Nowadays, they already have more than 140 outlets in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

I ordered Breakfast Ah Wood Menu, the scrambled egg with toast + Pork and Salted Cabbage with Rice Vermicelli in Soup, comes with Hot Milk Tea. It is a set menu. And add on Oatmeal with Milk. We shared our breakfast. Taste was good, but the rice vermicelli, just so so. It is my opinion. Let me tell you here, if you want to eat there, before queue, make sure what you choose to order. Because it is very fast, if you reach the cashier counter already and you still thinking what to order, and a lot of people are queueing, you can get panic, and wrongly order maybe? 

Here's the menu http://www.fairwood.com.hk/eng/menu/fourdaysparts.jsp

Fairwood - Humphreys Avenue
Address: Grand Centre, 8 Humphreys Ave, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Phone: +852 2856 4468
Opening Hours: Sunday to Friday 7 am to 9.30 pm, Saturday 7 am to 10 pm

 

 

 

Since we chose to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui, so after we had our breakfast, we stroll around the area. Unfortunately, not a lot of places open in the morning, Usually they open at 11 and above, some start at 10 am. I actually want to buy their egg waffle. It is just so close from my Fairwood, but they just start selling the Egg Waffle in the afternoon. Few months ago, when I was visiting HongKong, I have researched the most famous egg waffle in Hong Kong, and this place is the one. Small stall, but always long queue. What makes it different is the waffle is crispy at the outside, but you will get the chewy from the inside. Here's the details, if you would like to try:

Lee Keung Kee North Point Egg Waffles 利強記北角雞蛋
Address: Hong Kong, 178 Nathan Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Opening Hours: Everyday 11.30 am to 12 am

Around 11 am, we need to gather at the bus, to go to Hong Kong Avenue of Comic Stars, it is one of the must visit place when you go to Hong Kong. It is located at Kowloon Park, and next to the renowned tourist spot, Park Lane Shoppers Boulevard, build on 2012. This place is featuring the designed figurines of local comic characters and a lot of handprints of famous artists. Unfortunately, two times I visited this place, but the Characters area is under construction now, so I just got a chance to visit the handprints area. It was so windy that day, when we took photo, all hairs are messy. LOL.

If you love photography, I need to tell you that there are lots of good spots to take pictures. You will love it. And, for the transportation, there are lots of buses, and got MTR also that you can use in order to go to this place. Do check Google Maps out, find out how to go, or ask people, ask concierge, or if you go with the tour, it will be so much easier. Because I used one.

"What about Lunch?" - sayswho

Yeah, it is Lunch time. We went to Paramount Banquet Hall. Basically it was Chinese dishes, good for group, if you come with lots of people, this place should be better. They served us like 8 dishes if I can remember correctly. The taste was quite good. Actually this place is more towards for wedding reception like that. It is just they open for public or normal dinner or lunch like that. I think you should put on reservation first if you want to have your meal here and you come with lots of people.

Next, our schedule was going to Madame Tussauds, Hong Kong. It is known as the first Madame Tussauds museum in Asia (Source: Wikipedia). Madame Tussauds Hong Kong opened at the Peak in 2000, featuring around 100 wax figures of international actress, singers, presidents, and other famous people. As a tourist, or visitors that never been to Madame Tussauds before, I suggest you to come and visit, it is very interesting on how they build the wax figures, really similar to the real person. Prepare your camera, and take your pose with the figures, you will having fun there. There are several themes inside, like Hong Kong Glamour, Music Artists, Historical and National Heroes, World Champions

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong
Location: at Peak Tower - 129 Peak Rd, The Peak, Hong Kong
Opening Hours: 10am to 10pm
Phone: +852 2849 6966
Website: https://www.madametussauds.com/hong-kong/en/plan-your-visit/how-to-get-here/

To reach there, I used bus then I took Peak Tram, for additional information, if you are single visitor, better you check this >> https://www.klook.com/activity/523-peak-tram-3-in-1-combo-ticket-hong-kong it will help you a lot to go around the Peak there. Because if you go straight away go to the counter, I have to tell you, the queue will be super long! Do consider to buy from those kind of travels. 

Unfortunately, I went there during the peak season, beginning of this year, so yea, when you want to take pictures with the figure they all, it is kinda hard to get the clear photo where no other people inside our pictures, and sometimes you need to queue and wait for other people to take pictures, then only our turn. 

As the sky getting dark, we all need to to Ferry Terminal, because we need to depart soon to Macau. Hong Kong to Macau it just took 1 hour by Ferry. We used this >> http://www.cotaiwaterjet.com/ferry-schedule/hongkong-macau-taipa.html

My experience inside the ferry, even though it just took you 1 hour, the seats was comfortable, wifi for free, you can bring your own food inside, cold enough, but because the waves on the sea very big, it brought me headache, and feel like want to vomit. 1 hour felt like super long. 

After all, we reached Macau safely. Checked in to the hotel. Golden Dragon Hotel. Put all our luggages, then we went to dinner. Restaurant nearby, selling Chinese dishes as well. Then we stroll around the area, the weather was super nice, not cold, windy, and not hot as well. Took some pictures,  bought some fruits and went back to hotel, and rest, because the next day we are going to see around Macau, which is exciting.
