(Clockwise) Roast chicken, sambal kangkong, salted egg fish skin, la la, hotplate tofu, sambal French beans, gong gong. Another well-known seafood that disappointed. Very boring meal. The chicken was alright but the clams weren't fresh. Everything else was so-so.

(Clockwise) Fried duck, fried sotong, grilled stingray, kailan, chilli crab, butter crab, salted egg prawns. For the price and reputation, really bad. The seafood wasn't fresh and the sotong was poor execution. I guess only the duck was interesting.

I always order this dish when it's available. The one here was alright. Expensive restaurant for Batam.

Normal. Expensive restaurant for Batam.

Very spicy for some reason. You can see the chilli. Expensive restaurant by Batam's standards.

Aka pork rib, but it's perfectly boneless so I can't bring myself to call it that. Damn good.

Nice. The spring onion machiam free one.

Cannot beat freshly fried prawns.

This rarely goes wrong anywhere. A bit watery.

A signature dish of theirs. Really well done chicken with little bones. Interesting sauce too.

Ayam penyet, ayam balado, beef rendang, kangkong, hard-boiled eggs. Food felt authentically Indonesian, but small portions, and would be expensive if order more. Real Indo also meant very spicy!

I've always loved this for the contrasting texture. They executed it well here.
