My answer is at most time, "Yes, i 1st time come batam, my friends tell me....hj 100k,fj 200k..." ,which tells the girl i am with during that time that i do know the so-called market rate. 100k HJ and 200k FJ has been imprinted inside me since day 1 i am in Batam.

*another jackpot for me becos they (the girls) will know not to quote too high a price for me and usually the final rate wont go beyond a certain amount too far from 100k hj and 200k fj, hehehe...and i will still bargain down becos they already knew i will, with the mention of "what my friend/s tell me".

100k hj, 200k fj...add 50k for SYT has always been my bench-marked price.

Good observation,i share the same except I convert the situation to my advantage in my case. I don't speak the bahasa language nor Malay,which could probably make them impatient enough to try to close my deal asap or they may end up with no deal.

Its a mind game.

A small tip of 10k to 50k rupiah depending on who it is being given to and base on their service standard if it can make Batam a better place to be in. Reward the good,avoid the bad.

I always start small 1st when it comes to tipping, in case they open lion mouth later. I am the type of person who would pay for a taxi ride to go to another place simply just to reward another person (or the whole team) who could and have ever provide good services.

Some of the hotel's staffs will know better,hehehe...

Good info,bro. Thank you. If I am ever in that area again,i may go and try it out as mee pangsit was one my favorite food in Batam. I often have them in my nearly every Batam trip,hehehe...

Not exactly a fan for dry bak kut teh ,but then I never know what I may find there,hehehe... Batam is always full of positive surprises.

Thanks bro.

All the while when booking ferry ticket online via Batam fast to Harbour Bay has much often been between S$48 to S$50. It hasn't change much since 2014. The good thing is,it will not change even during CNY (non-last min booking),hehehe....whereas Horizon Ferry to Harbour Bay will cost me about S$60 during that period (S$10 more for business seat).
