    Honestly as a big foodie, there's nothing more interesting than diving into the food culture of another country. A2 Foodcourt sounds like the activity for me! Plus, if I cannot get A's in school, at least I can go there and get an A2 in real life. :')

    The last trip I was supposed to go on with my parents was more than a decade ago and was cancelled due to my mum’s sudden onset of heart attack. I really hope to bring my parents to Batam and the Eco Edu Park since one of my fondest memories were going on the RC organized tours to the Zoo & Safari with my parents when my brother and I were kids.
    I think a family trip is long overdue. Having the entire family on the trip will make sharing of the Nasi Padang and dishes at A2 food court a wonderful experience. After all, what better way to bond as Singaporeans than through food 🤤😋🥘🫔🍛🍲🍝🍢🥙🧆🍚

    @evd7733 Год назад +6

    To be honest, there are still much more to be explored in Batam especially in food cuisine.
    What's unique in Batam is that we have a lot of "Indonesian-race" living here such as Batak, Java, Padang, Flores, Ambon, Chinese, Melayu,etc and therefore, the amount of culinary is a lot more variety.
    If you guys ever come to Batam, i'd be glad to list out the food places you guys should definitely try out
    All in all, what a great video !

That being said, the Padang really looks good (reminds me of Garuda Padang in SG once before they left) and a definite must try especially with the view! Also the Jet Ski! As Naina said and Aiken agreed, if Aiken can do it, so can I!

    This was such a well made video and certainly made me look forward to my future trips! The activity that I will definitely like to try will be the jetsk. Firstly, this is something that is not readily available in Singapore and more importantly, you guys look so cool doing it I really wish I could give it a spin.
    The idea of the calming sea accompanied by the strong speed and wind blowing on my face just feels like a joy a behold. Furthermore, my partner and I have been on a couple of trips together before but mostly to the city and we have planning to try something more activity-based and the jetski and whole of batam check all the boxes!

    Definitely hope to get on the jet ski to have some fun in the waters! 🌊The view absolutely amazing. Of course, what is Batam without fresh seafood! Cannot wait to feast on seafood esp try the crab beehoon there as well 🦀🦐🦞🦑 Batam will definitely an awesome relaxing getaway with my family after this COVID period!
    Will love to experience a beautiful stay at ASTON Batam Hotel & Residence.

    Dont have a creative answer, just a true story! So the activity Im looking forward to is jet skiing because the last time I tried doing that was like a decade ago when I was young. Wasnt able to do it because when I was about to get on the ski, I (kid you not) STEPPED ON A SEA TURTLE AND IT BIT MY FOOT HAHAHA!! My foot got infected and I had to be rushed to a nearby hospital, ever since then, I avoided going into the open water sea 🤣 ty for listening to my story, good luck everyone!!

    Hi Aiken and Nina! The last time I went Batam I only remember eating the Ayam hijau like Nina 😂😆 y’all looked like you really had so much more fun! Makes me wanna go again. Hubby and I haven’t been on a trip together alone since we got married in 2020. If we get to go I’ll intro him to the Nasi Padang (his fav food) and jet ski (he say he scared but I’m sure he will have fun)! Thanks for making this video and thanks Charmaine for the awesome editing!

    The nasi padang one confirm top notch win because really can tell the faces from your face that y’all genuinely love it and recommend and I think the spread makes you feel like a prince/princess that can’t decide what to eat and just there enjoying royalty. Never tried before but really look forward to trying it for myself!! Confirm damn shiok haha

My family and I would love to win the staycation (whichever you generously bestow) coz its been a long time coming and I sincerely do hope to Holiday with them, especially with my mum since her Birthday is coming up in Oct. Would be great to bring the old dame out for a trip as she has not ventured out much since the pandemic and after my dad passed on. So an amazing trip like this, nearby yet filled with the bells and whistles would go a long way to reset and cheer her up considerably!!! As the youngsters, we wanna try the A2 foodcourt as well as the Hotel's dinner (mutton.... Oops, Lamb chops!) PLUS JETSKI, woohoo!!! Would be so cool to win lah. Xoxo
