Could be better for a restaurant. The wok hei and umami didn't come through, ending up more alkaline.

Hidden gem. It seems like a small brand but most of the food was good.

(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.

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.

Tried more food than this account shows. Not known for naggy, deep reviews. Just the truth.
