BATAM: Indonesia's Singapore

In this video, I do a little jalan jalan in Batam, Indonesia. First, I check out Martabak Har, the same place I ate at in Palembang. After a delicious meal, I stroll through the Pasar area.

If you revisiting batam again, (1)nagoya Foodcourt is a must to visit, (2)batam rice must try its nasi padang, (3) mitra wet market, (4) harbour bay night life, (5)eleven up coffee and floating bar very beautiful water floating bar. There's lot of street food, and street soccer around the street

Joseph is biblical name, Yusuf is quranic name, Joseph and Yusuf refer to same prophet. Same applies to Samuel / Ismail, Aaron / Harun, Moses / Musa, Abraham / Ibrahim, Mary / Maryam, Rebecca / Ribka, David / Daud, Jones / Yunus, etc. These are a very common names in Indonesia, either someone is a christian or a muslim, they use those names, however a christian more of using the “internationally known” version of those names, like Moses or Samuel, and a muslim refers to how it is pronounced in Arabic, like Musa or Ismail.

Hey Nick, am pretty sure the Martabak HAR you visited in Batam has no direct connection to those in Palembang. They're probably just re-using the same familiar name. I was born and grew up in Palembang and those Martabak HAR shops have been there for decades. HAR stands for Haji Abdul Rozak, the guy who started it, supposedly in 1947. The most common dish is the egg martabak and as you discovered in Palembang, not all shops offer the roti canai that you like.

[@NickKTravel]

ahh interesting. i can see that

[@omaronnyoutube]

Thank you for the insight about HAR.

Hi, the place you went was differend side of Batam. Going to Batam Centre is better that a lot good place too. Go to balerang bridge, Pulau galang, Big Statue Kwan im at Tj. Pinggir, big Wihara Matreyawira, Ocarina , Nuvasa beach nongsa, Seafood at Tj. Piauyu, etc and try popular lokal food like: Ikan asam pedas Mitra 2, roti gendang ayam goreng Ria, Fatmawati, sop ikan istimewa, mie tj pinang Penuin, BPK Singolar Ginting, Nasi campur Aan, Ba kuT teh, sagu mie, etc and you can eat cheap food at mall too around Rp 10.000., next you must try them😁

I think Martabak Har is kinda like franchise business, coz we got 2 branch here in Batam aswell and yet i knew there was another at Palembang bcz of u! Anyway... Martabak Har u need to make this dude as your Brand Ambassador! He's advertises your food whole-heartedly. Roti Canai in my veins baby LETSGO!!

Taon 2000an, tempat yg dikunjungi nick saat ini adalah tempat yg sangat menarik, kalau ke jodoh atau nagoya dapat dipastikan kita akan kesini. Kalau saya memang tiap hari lewat sini, sebab dulu kerja di Sijori Mandiri yg kantornya masih di harbourbay. Kalau gajian ya pasti mampir ke Ramayana Jodoh (orang lama pasti tau). Batam, miss u so much!

[@IsmadiSuratVlog]

Wahhh...roti prata. My favourite. I would order 5 pcs when eating at the restaurant and 10 pcs when consume at home. Right next to that restaurant is a music instrument shop. I believe they have 3 levels and filled with various musical equipment. When you exit the restaurant, on the right, just a few distance, is the Go Massage. On the left further down is the Planet Hollywood Hotel. I stayed there during my Batam trip. Enjoy your stay there Nick....cheers.

For many years, Batam is a place that Singaporeans n Malaysians generally perceived as an alternative quick getaway to get cheaper products n services. It also has an ill-reputation for men seeking pleasure in Batam, just like Malaysian men do when they cross over to southern Thailand. However this ill-famed reputation has slowly progressed to a positive wholesome sustaining Batam.
