If you just need a short getaway, Malaysia or Batam will be the best place to go. So this time we decided to go to Batam to have some cheap massage to reward our hard work for the pass month! Bought the return ferry ticket from Groupon for $37 ( price depend on current promotion ) which includes all the taxes in both country. Alternative, ticket can be purchase from Majestic Fast Ferry counter or website.

Got our tickets and waiting for the time to board the ferry.
Finally board the ferry and off we go!
Nice weather! Hope it will not be too warm in Batam today.
After an hour of ferry ride, finally we are here at Batam! But first thing to do is straight to the ticketing counter to redeem our return ticket so that we will not be too rush later ( more time for shopping later... haha ).
Booked a one day driver to drive us around Batam from Groupon at $40.
To our huge disappointment, only when we reach there, than we get to know that this Pt. Best Batam Tour & Travel company DO NOT drive people to Golden Prawn area, so which means we are not able to go over to Golden Prawn 933 for our seafood feast and to purchase the layered cake from there! Having seafood by right is one of our main itinerary!
But lucky enough that our driver is very friendly, if not this company will be a total disappointment! Anyway, we would not choose this company anymore for sure.
Disappointment aside and here is the excitement! It's massage time!
We booked a 2 hr spa massage at Win's Spa! They provide very good service and massage. If you do not have any driver to drive you there, you can arrange free pick up from them when you call up for booking.
We are all ready for our massage!
Hair spa salon at the ground floor.
My spa room all by myself! Steam bath right at the corner!
2hr of spa massage includes full body massage, full body scrub, steam bath and soaking with herb in this big bathtub!
I requested the Lavender Scrub which is Rp 377.200 ( SD$40.70 )
After a awesome Massage, time for some lunch! Since we couldn't go to the golden prawn, we decided to settle our lunch at Nygoya Hill shopping mall.
Quite a lot of restaurants in this mall.
Ok, we have decided to settle at Godiva.
Wait! Godiva chocolate for lunch only?!
Haha! Nope, this Godiva is a Bistro Godiva that sells local and western food.
Lets go in and have a look what they have,
Soto Ayam for Rp10.000 ( SG$1.10 )only?!
Ok! I shall have this!
My very blend apple juice.
Fried prawn tempura. Taste ok for the price we are paying.
My Soto Ayam. Not bad.
They sell chicken chops too.
Taste was normal as well, I guess their local food is slightly better although it is not fantastic too.
After lunch, time for some exercise! It's shopping time! We are always excited to shop in the local supermarket. Haha!
The supermarket is located at the basement of the shopping mall by the way.
We controlled ourselves very well this time round! We shared one shopping trolley among two of us which normally happens to be one trolley per person! Haha! ( *give myself a pat at the shoulder* )
After shopping at the supermarket, time to head back to the ferry terminal. We asked the driver to drop us at Mega Mall, which is just opposite the ferry terminal, so that we can have a least a cup of coffee before we head back to Singapore.
This Batam Layer Cake is actually from the Golden Prawn area but since we can't go there to buy, our driver uncle is very kind enough to ask his friend to help us buy and he went somewhere to pick up from his friend for us.
By the way, we only like this layer cake among the many brands in Batam! Even my mum says this is the best one.
Crossing the bridge over to the ferry terminal but wait! Let's welfie first!
Our loot for this day trip!
Time to board our ferry and head back to Singapore!
Such a nice view that doesn't look like Batam at all right?
Watching sun set while on our way back to Singapore!
Here ends our relax trip!
Look forward for my next trip!
Bye!
