Not too sure about the rest of the floors as we only approach the 2nd.

As it is on a weekday,what i found out is this place is relatively quiet. When we 1st enter,we were approached by 3 fairly good looking mummies,hehehe...not many customers,every staffs there seems eager to serve and i saw there are definitely more prettier looking girls there than the male human species within their premises. KTV lovers might like the place,hehehe....

As for the jackpot places,recently over the last 3-4 months,more and more of these places are opening up within the Nagoya area. And as much as more are opening up,more raids were said to have occurred.

I believe almost every joint also have/ever have got underage girls &/or those super pretty gems hidden behind closed door which is not on their usual display category shown in their fish tank. The thing is whether the okt trust the customers enough to shw it. Those dn't come cheap usually & not many willing to pay the price.

The soft shelf crab is quite nice, and the fried long beans with salted egg yoke. Garlic chicken....so so but still can make it, sweet sour pork also ok. The next thing is...bird nest 1 person portion Rp80K, shark's fin Rp100K. Total bill for 4 person, with 3 Sharks fin n 2 bird nest about Rp900K.

Good lobang bro. Thanks. Where is the location in Nagoya Hill? Is it on the 2nd Floor?

Usually if i wish to knock out a tile,i only choose those that are hollow by knocking,meaning you will need to knock at the tiles 1st,feel that it is hollow on the other side before you cut the tiles. For bath room tiles that are shown on the pic,they are usually stick on using water proof glue,so it is easy to cut open. Yes,10 secs or shorter time needed to cut the glue.

No point to cut tiles that are cemented on the other side becos you cant put anything in if they are not hollow. Knock a bit on the tiles to feel the sound to see if its hollow on the other side.

End of the day,just put the tiles back w/o gluing. It wont falls out.

Nice tip!! Thanks!!

Zenbu Resto (Nagoya Hill Mall)
=======================

Went ytd to Zenbu. The photos in the menu were really appealing. All looked good. Was at a loss to ordering what except what was suggested by johnkhb.

Total bill came out to RP300K (300,570) for 2.

My personal rating only (out of 5 stars) :

Food : 3
Ambience / Classiness : 4
Service : 3.5
Value : 2 (by batam standards), 4 (by SG standards)

If one has been around in Batam - by Batam standards - the prices are not great because there are much better Japanese restos in Batam - just not in touristy areas. But as Singaporeans accustomed to SG's expenses - it will be good value for money to them.

Food -
1 x Wagyu beef teriyaki bowl - is nice. RP99K is a steal. Was saddened - bcs only 5 slices of it. I finished them 5 pcs in less than 30 secs. LOL.

1 x Edamame (RP18K) - is alright. Nothing special

1 x Kinoko Soup (RP29K) - the photo looks wonderful - reminded me of the same preparation in Taiwan. But the photo, in this case, was deceptive. When the dish came - it was smaller than the palm of my hand. I took one sip and gave it to my wife - bcs it was too salty for me. She finished it though but later commented it was alittle too salty even for her.

1 x Modanyaki Unagi (RP85K). It's japanese wheat noodles with eel pieces covered in a layer of egg (semi-fried). The photo is just too deceptive. The photo shows chunky pieces of the unagi (eel) on top of egg-layer. When the dish came - there was no eel. Asked the waitress and she said its mixed within the noodles underneath the egg-layer. What we found out - KNN - is just scraps of the eel (not chunks) mixed with the noodles. Worse is - the price of mayo and cheese must have crashed - it was too cheesy and greasy for even a triple cheese-burger loving guy. My suggestion : avoid all Modanyaki dishes in Zenbu.

1 x Green Mix drink (RP26K) - a on-the-spot made real fruit juice of veges and fruits - sweet and sour. It went well on our stomachs to reduce that greasy feeling from the darn Modanyaki.

Didn't try the seafood teppanyaki although the waitress recommended bcs John has already tried - and yes - the waitress concurred it is a generous serving. Wanted to try other dishes that John hasn't tried to see if our combined experience on Zenbu's dishes can provide an all-encompassing view of Zenbu.

All said,


a. Really that Wagyu Teriyaki is delicious. I was seriously tempted to order another bowl .. but then thought .."hmmm.. that would be a total of 10 bite-sized slices for RP200K....... that's expensive (by Batam standards)"

b. Am sure the seafood teppanyaki is value for money.

c. John discouraged ordering tempura, and the waitress didn't even mention any of the tempura dishes for recommendation. So will concur to avoid tempura.

d. Their Modanyaki is an extreme calorie-rich, greasy-monkey, cheese/mayonnaise-price-crash disaster. It really killed any natural taste and texture of the noodle. It was just too oily. Went to a nearby coffee shop and drank hot teh-o-kosong-gao-gao to just kill that greasy feeling.

e. Make sure to confirm what you see in the menu is what you shall get. Die die must confirm. their photos can be deceptive.

Truth be told, I have personally come to conclude that restos in touristy areas just cannot be compared to those that aren't. Yet, for bros who come to batam for a few days and weekends - won't find the logic to travel "far"/"out-of-the-way" to try those good restos. In such cases, Zenbu's good value to them. Just avoid that shitty Mondanyaki dishes.

It's an experience and I love trying. Zenbu's experience was great for me still - bcs never try, never know.

Cheers and will lurk here and try restos mentioned (already Nono has mentioned a few and will try tomorrow).

enjoy!

Its ponding by sillypore term,hehehe...,yea,the bed sheet has a bigger than normal wet patch.Thanks for sharing the info.i think thru out that trip,i had a good time in Indo Rasa. I will continue to visit that place tho it is likely to be POISON to many non-MILF lovers,hehehe...

Always bargain down the price tho..

That was exactly what happen with Indo Rasa Massage girl. I believe her when she told me she dont usually do FJ as this is the 2nd time she massage me...but when i manage convince her to strip completely and put my fingers in....ponding start occuring and she start pestering (not begging) me for fj at the rate of HJ price,hehehe...i think i am already a familiar face in Indo Rasa,and she is feeling comfortable with me,hence she isnt afraid to let herself go in my presence.She did ask tho,but 1st time in my life i see a girl searching for CDs in my room anxiously....lol.(i was lying down and she is sitting and moving about)

She manage to finish herself off in cowgirl but finish me off with a HJ tho...lol...becos i was exhausted from the last 2 nights. Kind of a "strange" special service provided.

[Naka_Timo]

At this period of time also very not so safe to visit btm as police finding money.

Lot of ktv n night spots will be raid.
