2D1N Batam Review

Since I had never step foot into Batam, on the spur of the moment, I decided to have a quick weekend getaway to this neighbouring island. Took the Sindo Ferry from the Singapore Cruise Centre at Harbour Front. It costs about $46 for a two-way ferry trip. There are numerous timings to depart at and the schedules can be found on Sindo Ferry's website. Bought tickets to Waterfront ferry terminal as my hotel, HARRIS Waterfront, was just a 3 minute car ride from the ferry terminal. The hotel also provides a complimentary shuttle to the hotel so don't bother taking a cab!

5 seafood restaurants in Batam

1. Delima Seafood

Marina Waterfront, Waterfront City, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia

For those staying near Waterfront ferry terminal, this is an ideal place to have dinner. This restaurant is about a 3 minute drive from Harris Waterfront hotel and only a 2 minute drive from Holiday Inn Waterfront. Expect to dine in an open air rustic kelong setting while you feast on the fresh seafood which the chefs have to offer. Their star dish here has got to be their crabs. They are served fresh, with lots of meat and also extremely friendly on the wallet. Crab lovers will glee in delight as the prices of crabs here are half of what is normally found in JUMBO or No Signboard seafood restaurant . So don't leave this place without trying their crabs!
