At about 80k+ per pay, this is higher but not that much higher than in Batam where BKT can be had at 40k plus 8k for drink at coffee shop. Have to highlight that the dry BKT version is quite nice. But, I would rather call it claypot dark soy sauce pork than dry BKT.

ya correct, everytime i stay paradise only will go there for lunch, hv friend told me behind the coffee shop hv bak kut teh nice, will go try next time.

Ya the chicken rice is really value for $.
Can advice location to eat 山味,

She's pretty and a bit meaty, just a bit too give you the piak piak sound when piaking her.

bro do you smell anything maybe she fark it happen to me once

[SheldonXX]

Lol.. no, I really meant the "piak piak" sound when you ram into her doggie style. But, I do understand what you meant. Sometimes it's just air escaping from her vagina.

Yup, I agree. The food there is expensive. Really cut-throat prices.

Long time nv been to balai liao

Gabion and Paradise both are value for money hotel though a bit old.
Personally prefer Paradise because they have live soccer channels.

I been a regular with this particular seafood. The towkay also know what i normally order if i ate alone. Driver and taxi need to earn a living. How much can they "save" for their customers on food and girls prices? So we need to do our own survey on market prices if we want to cheong regularly. Of course those who cheong once in a blue mood dont mind paying above market rate.

Be it batam or balai its always good to built rapport with indons. More to gain. But i always advice my friends. Never put your trust on them 100%. After so many years in balai also got played out by them. Heart cannot be too soft at times. Learnt good lesson there.
