I arent good at bargaining either,but it was fun to do so,hehehe...i like the feeling of winning in bargaining,then when i bargain to the lowest,eg a quoted HJ for 300k,i bargained to 100k,all of a sudden during payment i pay her 100k (for the hj) plus another 50k extra (can be 20k-30k at times),i can feel and tell she is super happy becos i believe she has already expected to be paid 100k for the deed,but suddenly got an extra 50k. Feel like strike lottery,tho not as happy as actually striking lottery.But i am kind of sure the girl will remember me of my "good",hehehe...

Reason i ask how much would you pay for a hj when the girl didnt prompt the GQ is becos when i went to Keyza,i wasnt quoted a price for HJ,happy ending just falls in and i just pay according to what this thread says,the basic.(she does look happy tho,maybe becos shes new) If she ask,i would have pay her 200k,maybe even 250k for that hj as i classify her as a super SYT.

I have never stayed in Nagoya Plaza Hotel before,but i just went to check out the map,indeed it is very near to Nagoya Hill Mall. Then again,you also need to ask yourself,why are you going Batam for? Shopping? cheonging? The massage? Or the Food? etc etc. What will be your number 1,2 and 3 priority to go Batam? Shopping-wise,yes according to Batam map,i believe Nagoya Plaza would be a good place to stay in and the room shown in agoda website looks pretty much neat enough for a night or 2's stay.

If you are seeking alternative,try Formosa Hotel. It is a few dollar cheaper than Nagoya Plaza (comparing from agoda). It is an extra 2-3 mins walk if you compare walking from Nagoya Plaza Hotel to Nagoya Hill Mall with Formosa Hotel. But what you are getting more out of convenience is the cheonging places to visit,eg Queens ,Dynasty and New Berlian which is REALLY a stone throw away if you throw it hard enough,hehehe...or Alishan KTV on the 4th floor of Formosa Hotel,Linda Massage and Relax Massage opposite the hotel,Kings Massage at Hotel 4th Floor. It is also a 3 star hotel similar to Nagoya Plaza where all rooms will have Wifi coverage. (so far most if not all 3 stars hotels in Batam has in-room wifi) And convenient store aka provision shop are at 1st floor of the same building behind hotel (in case you need CDs,toiletries...lol). The famous Mickey Mouse Bat Kut Teh and other popular eateries also round the corner too (50 steps to 100 steps away).

Again,it still depends how you are setting your priority when in Batam. What should come 1st? And 2nd? 3rd? etc....what i am recommending here is,everything from cheonging,shopping,eating,massage etc all under one roof w/o using a taxi/ojek. Setback is,you wont be getting the best of those "everything" unless you move around and the "best" of everything really depends on each individual's preference where the "one man's meat and poison" theory truly apply.

Hope this helps.

Hehehe...if you notice,i wasnt writing an FR,i am writing a summary. I am no good at FRs too. And what i did on your FRs are just summarizing it.I pick up the key points,label them and then magnify it. I imagine i am "you" going to Batam,what you actually do i ask you via PM,since the key point are already mentioned in your post/s and then i label them in Bold with massage joint name,the price,the type of girl and the kind of service you got from them,good? Bad? etc etc.

Examples :

You go Keyza,you got O package and girl was no good,old and service incomplete etc.

i will write it this way (to put up the masseur name or not is entirely up to you but i recommend one to give Names of girls that provide Bad Service) :

<picture of joint>
Name of place : Keyza Massage (beside A3 massage shop,behind Utama Hotel)
Type of girl : about 30 years old,fat old hag (name Fatimah)
Massage : O package taken with b2b + Vitalita + Milk Bath - fuck up massage only piano strength,not suitable for me as i was expecting better. 1.5 hr massage ends in 1 hr etc.
Price : 308k for O package for 1.5 hr
Special service : Got HJ at 100k bargained from 300k,FJ offered 500k but didnt take,so didnt bargain.
Overall : 1/10 - Complain to reception but she/he bo chap me,i will never RTM EVER again in this shop as there are better service somewhere etc etc....

<picture of joint>
Name of place : Linda Massage (opp Formosa)
Type of girl : less than 30 years old,good looking for a MILF with 8/10 looks
Massage : good massage with lots of teasing,turn me on etc etc
Price : took 60min massage at 70k/hr,
Special service : Got HJ at 100k after bargain from 200k,dont provide FJ
Overall : 7/10 rating - Good for a decent massage with happy ending,but bed is lousy and room got mosquito,cockroach etc etc. Will RTM but not before trying others.

Notice you have all these formation in your FRs but they are mostly divided off,hehehe...and others reading the scattered information may not know the details unless he/she has personal try that place before reading. For those who never visit the place before may think you have hidden info in your description which may likely incur unforeseen charges/changes when they are there and this is especially so if they are newbie or 1st timer to Batam. Newbie usually lacks confident,and they are trying to get confident from reading the info you post so they know what to expect when they are there.

These are just personal opinion. Hope it helps you to better gather information to share it here in future but whatever it is, the most utmost important thing when noting an information down is,you MUST 1st be comfortable how you wish to write it and over time modify it with your own style.

Plan your trip bro,no need to complete anything in any trips,no need to go marathon. I believe the bros here also wants to see you enjoy yourself in your FRs too. And i am sure people dont enjoy reading your FRs when they dont feel you are enjoying. Or if its a bad trip,people dont enjoy reading when they feel you are specifying CLEARLY why you are not enjoying your trip. Go for the quality of trip rather than the quantity to fulfil,bro.

Example if you have a bad trip,dont just say "hey! I hate my batam trip becos i am caught with bed bugs and brought them home to Sillypore." But you didnt spell which hotel/Massage place,which room you caught the bugs from. Be specified,write your bad encounters down to help others to avoid a particular hotel or at least keep them from making same mistake as you,i am sure tons of bros here will appreciate it. (personal opinion)

If i am you,i will plan my massage trip if my preference is to cheong massage places. I am going for a 3D2N trip to Batam and massage shop is my number 1 target :

I stay in Romance Hotel,there are at least 15 shops around that area ,so 1st day i only choose 2-3 shops to visit. 1st shop tried in late morning ,dont immediately head to the 2nd shop after the 1st,go back hotel,rest up a bit,catch a meal or something,do something else eg wash up,shopping or looking thru the rest of the massage shop in that area,head back to hotel and then plan for your next shop to visit. Same thing,after 2nd shop tried,dont immediately head to a 3rd shop...go do something else 1st,give a short break and compare your 1st and 2nd encounter,compare which one you better enjoyed? Plan for your 3rd try and then go ahead with it or if you think after making comparison,you may revisit 1st or 2nd shop again and leave your 3rd for next day and so on. Most important is,you yourself MUST like what you try...and not try these places for the sake of trying w/o an aim to enjoy yourself or worse,just wanting to fill up the numbers. If so, you are just wasting money trying many shops w/o really knowing which are the worthily good ones and which are not-so-good at the end of the day. It is also painful and unhealthy for your physical body too.

Massage is suppose to be a relaxing enjoyment,dont let it become a torment to you. Hehehe...and Happy Ending is suppose to help make you (and your lil bro) happy,if you know you (and your lil bro) wont be happy,why waste your cum and your money to torture yourself?

I sincerely hope in your next trip,you will be able to have a good time in Batam and importantly MUST AIM to try your very best to enjoy yourself. Hehehe....

reading your detailed trip summary makes me feel like I was there. hehe.

Anyway, keep up your very good work.

Batam is a good place with many treasures well-hidden. Do feel free to drop by Batam if there's a chance. Its cheaper than going to Sentosa in Sillypore. Recently saw the morning news that going to Sentosa,buy package tour excluding 2 meals already cost S$232.00 and thats not counting ferry charge or cable car charge,hehehe....entrance to Sentosa is now FOC becos of the the SG50 celebration tho.

2005 average exchange rate = 5700/SGD

2005 a 250k Milf = S$43.86

2005,give 100k tip to girl,the girl likely grab you and kiss.

_________________________

2014 average exchange rate = 9300/SGD

2014 a 600k MILF = S$64.52

2014,give 100k tip to the girl,she is likely to kick a fuss and look down on me...lol.

But "if" i tip girl 100k in 2005,i pay S$17.54,but when i tip the girl 100k in 2014,i only pay S$10.75,hehehe....150k tip is still only S$16.13,lesser than the 100k of S$17.54 in 2005.....then again when i tip girl 200k in 2014 double of what the tip "she" received in 2005 in rupiah which is S$21.50 (still higher than 2005's 100k in S$),the girl in 2014 still isnt as excited and happy as the girl receiving 100k in 2005...lol. That is the change i see today.

My above calculation are solely base on my personal point of view and analysis as a newbie who only start visiting Batam from Feb 2014.

For hotel rates,there is a slight increase too,about 10% to 25% for most hotels over the last 10 years. Recently 2015,i notice a slight drop in rates for "aging hotels". Most likely its becos more new hotels are completed and room occupancy competition becomes stiffen.

I believe the girl is new. I also didnt know those girls arent suppose to make their customer cum in Keyza,hmm...

Yes,i do eat Frog Leg,especially the claypot version of frog leg,i think i have it before in Batam but not from Zhen Bao.If i dont remember wrong,i had it in Golden Prawn 933,or was it at the food court behind Happy massage 8...anyway,it didnt leave me an impression. Will still check Zhen Bao Restaurant out.

Actually,your info on Zhen Bao came quite timely. I was planning my upcoming April trip and i was planning to step out of my comfort zone,hehehe...away from Formosa Hotel for once during my 1st day of my weekday trip and to my next favourite hotel,Gideon. It will help me save 75k per night too,and coming trip i am pending (but planning a 3D2N) a 4D3N stay. Who knows,i may just hotel hop...lol. Then again,Hotel hop means i have to prepare a lot of things beforehand since no hotels in Batam has my Special Room facilities except Formosa.

I look up on Zhen Bao a bit and found out during last year Dec 2014,they have a "Eat All You Can" promotion during 8am to 12pm for just 68k++ per pax,wondering if this promo still on tho,hehehe....

Another interesting place,i know where is Hotel Instar but mind if i ask,where exactly is this coffee shop? As in at which part of Hotel Instar? Like you say,ZhenBao is opp BCS mall so i can find it,but Instar Hotel coffee shop? Sorry,i may know a lot about Batam theoretically but the roads and sign in Batam,i am still not very sure yet.

Thank you,bro.

I learned one important thing during my hotel stay in Batam,always check my room door lock to make sure it is working and to lock my room from the inside when i am in room. In one of my group trip last year,one of the bros after leaving the room,the room door can still be open from the outside w/o a key card.

And once, i forget to lock the room door from the inside,the room service actually have a master key used to open my room door becos they want to make-up my room. They knocked but i was having shower,so didnt hear them.

Thank you,bro.

The coffeeshop is right at the foot of Hotel Instar. If U're standing at the road and facing Instar, the coffeeshop will be on your left.

The coffeeshop has a money changer manned by a SYT who unfortunately is married..

Apart from the fishball noodles (the dry version is awesome), the zichar stall at the back of the coffeeshop sells a very good kwetiau basah, something similar to our wet hor fun..

No more already buffet already.. Unfortunately their version of frog legs is frying not claypot. However, quite tasty though.

Just to confirm,the photo below shows i am facing Hotel Instar,so the coffee shop is at the Left Side?

Thank you.

This is my 1st fr since joining the forum many years back.
Apologies for leeching. And long post.

Reporting live from batam.
Will like to warn our fellow cheongster about a runner at New Berry
Kindly do not blacklist this join (highly doubt the joint will be blacklist as they have plenty of SYT and good looking girls, with a very customer oriented boss) the Chinese boss of this join is very understanding. When down to feedback about this girl and have a good chat with him.

He have offer to let me bring her back til 8am but I rather fuck myself then bring a black faced girl back again. (No partial refund due to 2 bonks rules with I understand)

Details of girl:- (runner)
Name: Yuni
Looks: 7/10 (my standard is rather low,fellow cheongster might rate her higher or lower)
BJ : Nil
FJ : 6/10
FK : Avoid FK but ok with light kisses on lips
Damage : 1 juta (no tips for her for run and attitude problem)
Shortly After 2nd shots complain was boring in the hotel and wanna go back at 11pm + . Allowing her to go disco or go back for a while but must return after but was ignored.
Some drama after calling up the joint to feedback. And send her back after she show her attitude.

Shortly after she left, I took a taxi down to feedback in person and was lucky to meet with the Chinese boss of New Berry.
Was totally impressed with his customer service. He really take care of his customers.

Have been assured that he have 30+ girls under him and will intro me with his best recommended girls. Get his contact and left the joint.

Might be an isolated incident. Next time I return to batam will go pray 1st before cheonging haha.

Happy bonking bros.

Ps. Was my 1st time in batam and make the mistake of going down to KAHA to purchases hotel voucher before exchanging currency. Fellow bro pls change some IDR before going to KAHA.
Rates at KAHA was S$5 below booking.com and S$10 below Formosa walk-in rates.

At 130pm,i reluctantly check in to board the ferry back to Sillypore. This trip,my overall rating is 8/10. I am already missing Batam as i am typing this...and my next trip,will be soon as i am now at planning stage.

Don't know if u purposely or forget ,notice u miss out few things in yr summary.

Yes, your photo has actually captured the coffeeshop.. It's right underneath the "Hotel Instar" signboard with the bunch of motorbikes parked in front of the coffeeshop...

Thanks you ,bro Koholy21.

Oh,i didnt know such rules exist in Keyza (or anywhere else)...like that also can get penalty? My dick is there,the girl gets paid to handle it and if i cum when she does it good,the fault becomes mine? A guy with PE will be in deep shit.

Anyway,i wasnt informed of the rule and even if i do,i wont be able to understand but i am almost kind of sure the girl who massage me is new,hehehe...

Sometimes,joining friends on a tour with different frequency and different objective/s can be hazardous.Thats why nowaday,i either go solo or the people who tagged along with me shared similar frequency of our trip objective. Imagine i go with relative,i would not be able to cheong freely. Or friends who just wish to shop and relax only....leaving them alone and i left to do my own things also i will feel bad.

For massage parlour,i would usually go mainly for hj,becos at most time i know i will be getting a girl from overnight booking joint. Dont make sense for me to get a fj then. And i will definitely bargain on the HJ pricing if my girl pop the GQ. Price right i take,not right just reject. There is always a 2nd chance somewhere else since massage pricing in Batam is between 50k to 90k in most parlour,which is S$5.50 to $9.90.

I have one straight mind when it comes to special,100k HJ , 200k FJ, add another 50k for SYT and/or another 50k for anything out of the ordinary,eg full roaming(top and bottom)/bbbj/b2b/proper dick massage etc etc,hehehe....

During my CNY trip (Feb trip),i had a fairly good MILF (below 30 years old) from Linda's massage which i got into my formosa room. Charges was about 120k/hr. But becos its CNY she refused anything lower than 300k for a HJ...lol...so i skip any special from her.

Sometime going for massage also must depend on luck. I go there for a good massage and becos this group of ladies from Linda's are older,they make up for their looks with massage skills.Then again,their dick massage will lose out to the one i had in Indo Rasa,which is behind Relax Massage. I am quite regular to Linda's and i am only willing to pay 100k to 150k for the Happy Ending. If they dont reduce,i will just skip,hehehe...

And what i dont like most in Relax Massage is,their girls are definitely way prettier than Linda's,some even look much better than those from Kings Massage at Formosa (young,happy and innocent type),but most if not all dont even offer special service and if they ever (very rarely) do,their asking price can be pretty high. So i rarely go there. Massage is 70k/hr.

Indo Rasa : 50k/hr
Linda's : 60k/hr
Relax : 70k/hr
Bridge : 80k/hr
Kings (Formosa): 90k/hr

Their in-shop pricing all very easy to remember,hehehe...by the way,thank you for sharing your experience.

Hehehe...depends on how you wish your trip to be,but i can almost guarantee that your upcoming trip will be much better than your last one if you are going to cut the "extra weight" around you.

As i speak,i am planning carefully for my next trip as very likely my next trip is not going to be good,since my last one was a good one. I am tweeting a bit of my usual plan to stay out of Formosa for a day during my coming Batam trip too.

Planning...planning...and itinerary coming soon.
