Indian-looking short hair mami,who can speak hokkien,teochew and Indo. Pretty much stuck up (strict) except she dont anyhow whack a girl to you. You pick the girl,she will describe to you,you dont take,she may be a bit black faced,hehehe...i still prefer to deal with this mami than their papi there. To each its own.

You may choose to revisit this Permata Indah again for a 2nd time on the same day.

Since you will be there for 2 nights,it should not be a problem to revisit at different times so as to see a more complete range of girls available the next following day. Of course if the girl you pick is good,just extend her.

As mentioned earlier,you are going to Batam on a super ultra peak,it really doesnt matter if you go with taxi or not at this point of the season becos it is almost impossible to bargain down in most joints. Most of their pricing will be fixed and their attitude will likely be "take it or leave it".

Example : 1 girl in New Berry that is priced at 600k,will likely cost 1 million rupiah. A 800k girl will be at 1.2 million rupiah. With or w/o taxi driver,you will still be paying THAT price. My point is,i will choose to go with taxi driver instead. However, do try to bargain but highly unlikely the OKTs of the joints will back down as they know if you dont take at that price,others will. So dont get too upset to the extend it spoils your mood if you cannot bring the price down.Its normal during this season. All booking joints at most time will be emptied out (of girls) by the end of their day/s during a super ultra peak season.And these OKTs knew that too. (note : if you can still find girl/s or if a joint still have some leftovers by sunset,be "extra extra" wary if you decide to take them)

My above example/s was only applicable for super ultra peak season in Batam. Under normal days,where the market favors the customers,i will definitely bargain hard enough with or w/o taxi,hehehe...and dont forget to get their namecard too. Not that getting the namecard will be any helpful during a super ultra peak season since practically no OKT will pick up calls from unknown numbers or anyone will likely be picking up the call in the joint's counter.

Check with the OKT if the girls you pick will be a run-away type. Take down her Name (before action starts) and if she does run later when OKT promise she wont to share their names in this thread (or PM me if you are too shy to share in public) when you are back home later so as to help me understand the joint and their girls better. Thank you in advance.

If she is an above average,a good fantastic girl from your perspective,not necessary to share her name with me. I am not interested becos i do understand what is good for you may not be good for me. Vice versa the other way too.

Lastly,do keep a low expectation,be humble in speech/behavior and be vigilant.

Good luck and may heaven bless you with a good Batam trip 2morow.

Cheers!

PS : Price for booking joint girls will technically be increase by about 20% to 100% this coming CNY 2016 season.

Don't know the recipes though. But what I know from friends :

a. The authentic native-batak Cabe Adaliman is at Dano Toba Cafe (BBQ pork). It's the main reason why my Batak friends go DT Cafe apart from the BPK. (they usually patronise Singalor Lau for BPK)

b. I tried Cabe Gila at Kez's Bakery & Restaurant . The same Batak friends love super-spicy chili and requested for the spiciest/hottest chilli Kez could dish out. And they were elated when the soux chef say "ok. Cabe Gila". Else I wouldn't even know of this chili mix.

Most cina in their 30s will remember this incident.

If your interest lies with massage,throw out S$5/hour to S$8/hour to try anything that catches your eyes. Its like the scratch and win ticket,sometime you win,sometime you dont,but most time we will win something,hehehe...well,no one wins all the time tho and as much as i say that,no one will lose all the time too.

No wonder she dont look happy with the 150k tip,hehehe...I guess she's been spoilt.

But the ML gives a good hard massage.

Erm...most of the receptionist in most of my secret joint list were male. I find male receptionist easy to talk to and even better still,much easier to bribe to get their best few girls to me too,hehehe....and bribery doesnt always have to be involve money. A few good words,a few good sentences with a drink or a meal can at times do a much better job,hehehe...

This kind below can? (meaty yet not so out-of-shape body) :

There are some girls with the above figure in booking joints,hehehe...if you dont mind them not as good-looking as the girl in the video above.

Agreed with you. But 3-4 out of 10 Chinese girls in KTVs has "something" fake somewhere. I prefer originality at times,hehehe... few times i went to China's KTV,their girl's hair style,their figures and dressing all so uniformed. So most of us there at that time end up picking the girls base on their boob size and how they looked at us,hehehe...

Every country's girls will have their pros and cons.

Nice to have the name of my favourite restuarant listed here.

hi guys, here to ask for reccomendations of a good message place.

so far the best massage is from pacific hotel 8th floor "octopus"

seems like there's other better massage place like altalanta and kings massage? and their price would be around?

I totally understand that foreigners pay a "tax".
But in this case, manggis at 20k/kg and rambutan at 25k/kg is chop-carrot price?
That's cheaper than in HyperMart! (but no manggis neither rambutan at HyperMart this week, so comparison does not really apply).
I did not negotiate those prices down further because:
- other stalls on the same road asked me higher prices (25k and 25k)
- other stalls in other areas had no good fruit
- also my time has value: waste 1 more hour to negotiate and ask in more places to save 10k over 5kg of fruit is a nonsense for me
- last but not least: the fruit I bought is GOOD. Well ripen, tasty and NOT A SINGLE PIECE damaged. I am just back to my country. I distributed some of my manggis and rambu to my best friends and parents. I will be enjoying my part for a few days.

Hi.. I've been following this thread and the old for quite sometime. But i never seen FR from Memory. Curious to know about them as I've seen quite nice SYTs there. TIA

Normally, I will go shopping , ktv sing, massage,....etc....before winding down back hotel.

Thanks for the good tips....will keep that in mind next time.
Sometimes, also need to find a chick w good chemistry also...haha.

For me,i do most of my shopping and massage in the earlier noon. Later noon (5pm to 6pm) will be for my booking girl. As i usually go for an early noon massage and knowing that i am having a booking girl in the later noon helps me to think with my big head when it comes to special service bargaining,hehehe...afterall,i will have an overnight booking girl and i always let my massage girl/s know.

My later noon will be for booking girl,1 shot 1st...then to dinner,perhaps have some tcss before calling for a 4some massage,hehehe...KTV is not my cup of tea in batam tho. At times,after massage we can still go for supper too. My alternative to replace massage will be a watching a movie.

150k issit too little? she looks a bit disappointed....but i also never require her to do exceptional stunts....so I think 150k is good rate.

I usually tip 100k most time becos i will always go out of room to do other stuffs and leave behind 50k to 100k for her meal. I learn that some girls do not return me the change (most does tho),while some didnt even eat and keep the 50k - 100k. An extra 50k tip over the 100k if they have proven to me they are REALLY very good or has tip top quality on OWE,hehehehe...

To give 200k+ tip would be rather rare for me.

I think money more well spent in this case.

I think you are more accustomed to massage service. If i am you and if i wish to be more focus on massage girls,i will start collecting name cards of massage parlor,check with the recept if they do hotel massage,try out that place 1st and also check if they do massage service in hotel so i can always call them over.

What happen after midnight (or just before) where most massage shops were close is i will also try to get the HP number of those REALLY very good massage girls during the day,check with them if they will do in-room massage privately. Call them just before or after midnight where most of them would already finished their work,hehehe...remember,Batam has very little to practically zero 24 hour massage shop around,so i choose to "work around" this situation by creating my very own 24 hour massage service w/o the need to risk myself engaging FLs,hehehehe.... i get both "safety" as well as "consistent good service". One stone kills few birds,hehehe...

If you are a good customer,i am sure they will not hesitate to take your call. And i dont keep the girl's hp numbers on my mobile phone nor bring it over with me to Sillypore. (yes,i do sound contradicting here and i have my reason/s)

Safety is one of my priority and i am simply trying my best,hehehe...and over the last nearly 2 years,i believe i have build myself a safety net for myself to enjoy Batam,the way i like it.

There are occasional small unfavorable instances....but just take it since it is batam.

You have kept an open mind and being optimistic.

Thank you.

Once you find what you are looking for,it will always be easier and faster the next time round. Guy usually shop very fast,hehehe...find the "point" of target (what i wish to buy) and fire (pay)! *one hit one kill*

I wished can get a more sexy curvier n active gal.....hahaha....
But maybe I have to thank lucky stars the chick didnt give much problems.
So cant really ask for more....some times.

Maybe you just need to find the right girl.Right girl as in girls that are suitable for you with most of your requirement met.

De Best should be a nice hotel,hehehe...take slow step a time when trying to pick a girl from booking joint but avoid having a "picking a wife" mentality,hehehe...i will usually aim for 3 to 4 booking joints,go there at the right timing,bookmark one from each joint and pick a girl by shortlisting each of them. I do tell the OKT what i am looking for too (my requirements).

True,look like tis year cny btm will be less crowded

Yea,& those bule will likely turn btm into Bali where per shot cost as much as in Sg in time to come.

If air ticket frm China is cheaper than to sg,it's not impossible.

I have seen koreans travelling to btm & they r ladies.

I do see quite a no. of China Chinese men at a2 food court in my last trip on dec.

Let the taxi driver knows your day itinerary. Example,go booking joints,lunch/dinner at certain places,the places of interest you wish to visit,shopping,massage etc etc. And you let him quote you the price before you counter bargain. Do not pay him in advance but divide your total amount to pay base on the number days/nights you are staying in Batam.

Example : If i book a full day taxi for 2 nights at 300k/night. 2 nights will be 600k,i pay him 1st night 200k,2nd night 200k and the last day when he send me to ferry terminal,another 200k. Total payment 600k.

Dont forget to take the taxi driver's phone number the moment you booked him. If you have no Indo sim card phone number,it is ok to ask the hotel receptionist to help you make local calls (in case language is a barrier). Most time,its free. Most hotel rooms however will also have a phone for local calls too.

For the beginners/1st timer and for safety reason/s,if a full day taxi is really needed,try getting from Hotels instead. While it may cost more (please bargain down too),it will become lowered on your next trip to Batam when you can communicate directly with them bypassing the "middleman" (hotel bellboys,receptionists,security guards etc).

Side note : It is however best in my opinion for beginners to learn to walk around Batam

I often share with my friends who are with me,there is no such thing as a reliable taxi driver. In Batam,finding a taxi driver is very much easier than finding a girl to bonk,hehehe...and after finding a taxi driver,it will almost guarantee you will find at least a "bonk" (if you wish to but at times will cost more due to them drawing commission). Bypassing the taxi driver at most time will likely get you a better price for some good bonks.

When you become more familiar with Batam,you may also bypass both the OKT and taxi drivers to get to your "bonk/s" directly too. And i am not referring to wechat/BBM/watsapp girls from any multi-media app-chat source.

Do take baby step a time. Keep your pace slow and steady to enjoy Batam. Keep your expectation low for starter,be humble,be nice,be patience,dont show off and speak politely minus-ing the loud tone.

Thk u bro blickbassy & bro Nono1973 for the reply.

I'm likely to head to btm's viet camp this year.

Thx

It must hav been a few years since u step into Btm memory ktv or if u will let us knw yr last trip there?

Memory splitted ,with 80% of their girls moving to a new place called Dolly,which later closes shop & the girls spread out over the other joints but mostly absorbed by the neighbouring joint Shellina which also close shop few months back & out comes the Hawaii joint @ the previous Dolly loc.

The last i went to Memory was last year ard Nov/Dec. 5 girls there,no SYT at all,mostly were older auntie level. Let us knw if u visited recently & have new updates.

TIA too
