Posted on 07 November 2015 ♥ Another long while since I last updated this space because most of my free time is either for the B or doing house chores or sleeping.Went for a short getaway last month for our anniversary! 13 October 2015! Went to the B's house to stayover the night before so we could head out together the next day! Woke up at probably 7plus, prepared and went out of Zav's house at 8.30am. Took a bus down to Tampines and we had our breakfast at one of the food court there.  My Minced Meat Mee Pok! $4 but really big serving and very tasty as well! ^-^ Yay!  Zav's Braised Duck Noodle which was quite yummy too! Very full and satisfied from the breakfast we had that was so affordable yet delicious! Took the MRT to Tanah Merah after that so we could take a bus down to the ferry terminal. Kelian de B have to carry our 2D1N stuffs in his big bagpack all alone. Went to collect our ferry tickets and paid for the terminal fee or whatsoever at the counter after we reached the terminal at 10.45am. Got the deal online for $99 per pax for 2D1N stay at Turi Beach Resort, 2 ways ferry tickets and 2 ways land transfer. Also additional $52 in total for the terminal fee etc. While waiting for boarding, some wefies!  
Even bought a Kaya Toast while we waited for our ferry (Batam Fast) which we were be only allowed to board at 11.40am so we eat again while we waited. The ferry staff kept ushering us when we board to the smoking area seats when we don't smoke neither do we enjoy to be breathing all the smoke for an 45mins ride. Fucking stupid so we change our seats back inside and luckily got 2 available seats that were side by side. Got a short nap on the ferry ride although it weren't comfortable at all. Cleared the custom pretty fast in like 10mins since there weren't much people. Got on our land transfer to Turi Beach Resort and the mini bus were so empty that there was only 2 more guys other than us! Yay! 
Look at all the empty seats behind us!
Reached the resort after a 10mins ride and we got our room even though they state that check in time was 2pm (Batam time) but it was 12plus (Batam time) when we reached. Settled our check in and went to our room ourselves.  View was not bad and our room is on the 2nd level but the room wasn't as pretty as the pictures they put online. 被骗 but lucky their bed were really comfy although there was only 2 single beds option available at the point of time. Lighting was good at the balcony but sunlight was too strong that I can't even open my eyes well but still, wefies time!  Went to the lobby which was at the 4th floor for our ride to Nagoya Hill. It was 85,000rp (SGD8.76) each for a 45mins ride, and it was again, only us on the van! Sibei bohua for them but mega yay for us! Reached Nagoya Hill at 1.45pm (Batam time) and we decided to eat first! Tzi Char for lunch from 933 seafood which they have a outlet at Nagoya Hill or else we would have to spend more money and time to travel to their main outlet.  Our drinks came first which Zav had the Fresh Apple juice that were so naturally sweet while I had the Lemon Tea which was good but really sour! And our food came out really fast after our drinks were served, efficiency at its best, YAY!  Chilli Crab which the flesh were so sweet but the sauce were really spicy, 89,000rp (SGD9.18). Freaking $9 only for a crab and even though the size was small, it was really sweet! Hotplate Tofu which I didn't like because there was alot of vegetables that I didn't like, like peas and spring onion etc. Salad Youtiao which were really different from the ones in SG but it was a little salty for me but Zav loves it! Cereal Prawns which we both love because the cereal were so yummy! Super full even though we didn't order any rice and it was 257,000rp (SGD26.50) for 4 dishes and 2 drinks. WOOOHOOO! Went to walk around the mall to digest and also to the arcade because we are young in heart. It was cheap that each game was only like SGD0.20 or so but they allows smoking in the arcade so it was really smoky and smelly in the arcade. Played a few games before we quickly left and head to the supermarket instead! Spent like 30SGD at the supermarket getting weird drinks and snacks. Finally had our first try on ice cream rolls in Yam and Grape flavour!  It was 46,000rp (SG4.75) for both when Zav added M&M to his grape ice cream! Damn affordable but I would prefer usual ice cream though! Went to buy some small snacks for us to eat back at the hotel room before the van came to pick us up at 4.45pm (Batam time). Damn rush but we still managed to have a good meal! Back to the hotel room to put down our stuffs and relax a little in the room! Zav watched the tv while I take pictures of the food as usual!  Bought 2 boxes of these donuts which they claimed it was cronuts but it isn't, just mini donuts at 36,000rp (SGD3.70) for a dozen!  Also bought 2 boxes of Kueh Lapis to bring back home. Bought 2 flavours of the small sized lapis, one in rainbow butter and one in prunes! It was 220,000rp (SGD22.70) for both but it was really yummy and very buttery! Had some snacks like Fried Mushroom, Takoyaki and Fried Chicken from A&W which we dabao from Nagoya Hill for us to eat while we chill in the room! Finished eating and we nuasai till 7pm (Batam time) before we left our room to look for food in the resort but it was so dark with insufficient lighting so we just settled at one of the cafes for a simple dinner! No one brought us in so we have to get a table ourselves and even get the menu ourselves from the counter, wtf. Half the mood gone for dinner! Waited for quite awhile for our food to be served!  Shirley Temple for the B while I had the Pussy Foot, drinks were alright and comes the atrocious food. Signature Ayam Penyet but Chicken was so cold and hard with the beancurd tasting a little sour. Banana Fritters which was not crispy, cold as well, one mouthful and that's it! Dessert was the Es Teler which was very meh but still the best of the 3. Just have a bit of each and that's it, full from the disappointment. It was 459,800rp (SGD47.40) for these kind of shitty food, fucking pissed off and the worst part is when we gave 500,000rp (SGD51.55) cause we thought it was 499,800rp so we said no need for change. Worst meal ever, serious shit! Dampen the mood for the trip for real. -_______________- Went back to our room to bathe before we nua sai with the only good thing from this resort, the bed! No wifi even though their website state free wifi, my fucking ass. Have to head to the lobby if we want to use with the worst internet speed ever or pay for the internet, kns. Worst decision to stay in this Turi Beach Resort! 14 October 2015! Woke up at 7am (Batam time) for the complimentary breakfast since we will be heading back to SG around noon. Breakfast was at the same cafe which we went last night.  Kind of spread we had and nothing tasted good as expected. *shakes head* Ate a little and we went back to the room and sleep till 10.30am (Batam time) where we wake up and bathe then do final packing before we checked out! Had to wait till 1.10pm after we checked out for the transfer to the ferry terminal so it's 1 hr of hell with slowest internet ever and hot weather with us feeding the mosquito. Seriously, first and last time to Turi Resort, worst resort/hotel ever. FUCKING SHIT. Reached the ferry terminal at 1.30pm and we went to get some food because we were hungry! Ordered Mee Goreng and a burger at 80,000rp (SGD8.25), not exactly cheap but seriously simplest yet the most warming food!   Still tasted 10000x more delicious than the food from the resort! Satisfying meal before we waited for our ferry at 2.20pm. 45mins ride and we took the cab back to my place after we reached SG. Unpacked before we decided to have our very simple anniversary dinner at BPP! Settled it at Tonkotsu Kazan and it was a great choice!  We had the Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen and Hotstone Curry Rice w Chicken Karaage! Really delicious and filling, and only $29 including a drink! Woohoo! Happy already! And that's how our 2 days getaway went, not the best travel trip we had but with the best partner that I could ever ask for! It wasn't easy for us to be together for a year since we are both hot tempered and stubborn but I'm glad we both changed for the better, for each other. To many years and more! #CynZav |
