Name of jetty is "Harbour Bay" From Spore take Wavemaster because they are the only ferry service that goes to Harbour Bay. Other companies e.g. Penguin will only go to either Batam Centre or Sekupang which is far from Nagoya.

Berlian/Wave Master (Tel: +65-65468830 in Singapore). Frequent service to Harbour Bay.

I've never been to the outdoor food courts during the day because it's not aircon. During the day I suggest you go the "Nagoya Hill" mall which is about 10 to 15 minutes by cab from Harbour Bay
Although there are many restaurants around the Harbour Bay jetty it's tragetted at people waiting for ferry to Spore. Recommend you go instead to Nagoya Hill Mall where you will find an indoor food court with plenty of choices including A&W and KFC.

For outdoor food courts I've heard that Windsor is pretty good. It's within walking distance from Nagoya Hill or just take a cab.

If you want sea food, there are places like Rezeki Restaurant but it is quite far from Nagoya. Only makes sense if you go as a group because of cab fare & portion size.

You can also have sea food at any of the outdoor food courts. I remember there are some restaurants at Nagoya Hill serving seafood.
Harbour Front - Checked
Nagoya Hill Mall - Checked
Food courts named Windsor - BANNED!!! because of the name, remind me of a fucker!!!!

Thank you Johnny333 :biggrin:

Dont go Atlanta Health Spa. Go to Nagoya Mall, go to the entrance whereby there are rows of shops opposite. Standing at the entrance, at 2pm direction, about 80m away, there is a massage shop. Go there and opt for a private room massage. The minah will keep saying, " Kor Kor, you so handsome, kor kor, you so big" :biggrin:


ADDED: Remember to buy the potato chips in the supermarket. Its indo brand, i forgot the name. But many Sinkies go there to buy that chips. I tried it and its nice :biggrin:

Me want spaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Wah, your 2 personal feud, please keep me out :biggrin:

Im just a small soldier. Brother alamak, I suggest you go by harbourfront. The boat stops at Waterfront and there is a shopping center there. You can jalan jalan there first. Need to change money hor. I go bintan, sgd is commonly used. When i was at batam, they use more rupiah.
Ok, Harbour Front it is.... how much the ticket?
