During the first day of Raya 8 August 2013
Evonne and I joined the old folk's tour to Batam Island.
First stop is Yong Peng food court
where I had fish ball soup
then we boarded the ferry to Batam via Singapore
the comfortable Ferry ride
I had the most delightful cofee and tea time treats at this Bistro
my friend had tom yam, I had mee curry
so relaxed and worry-free
Batam Mega Mall
the most crowded kueh lapis outlet
We did not order any, as it was a holiday and no one is making any kueh for you
dinner was sumptuous chinese food
seaweed and fish bladder
at night we put up at Golden View Hotel
next morning was a full day: our Batam tour guide
Lover's Bridge
Dragon fruit farm : again it was "Lebaran" or holiday and
no dragon fruit juice were sold, much less for us to sample
dinner!!! seafood at this quaint floating restaurant
which also doubled as a souvenir shop
Minature Indonesian houses display next
Chinese community next to chinese temple
deity in Chinese temple
Dinner was Indonesian: in this lovely authentic restaurant
we did not eat here, but inside with tables and chairs
that night we had Karaoke as a substitute for our free massage
free beers thrown in
so I had an early night instead!
As if that was not enough, the next morning saw us at the Casino at Sentosa!
with the aunties waiting for the connection to Malaysia
dinner was at Rong Chen in Yong Peng
Yong Peng by night: invaded by us
the jam from Singapore into Malaysia: it was Raya plus Singapore National Day 9 of August
