This actually one of my favorite RM Padang in Batam. Laat time here some 4-5years back they still serving gajebo & their gajebo is amazing. apparently there was no more gajebo since couple years back. nevertheless, the rest of the food is very nice. If you come in a group better get the dish be laid on the table (hidang) & you can use their aircon room.
