Arteastiq De Patio : A Portmanteau of Art & Tea

ABBEY: We went to try Arteastiq. They have these teas in perfume bottles which kind of unique. The restaurant also has great homey feel. I got their cod fish and chips. I was surprised that the fish taste good. Not your usual fish that gets the flavor from the batter. The perfume-bottle tea live to the hype; not only aesthetically but also in taste.

WILL: I got curious on their perfume e tea. So we booked a table.

Haha! Quite fond of burrata cheese lately so I ordered their Peach Spinach Salad. The spinach leaves are quite fresh and their salad dressing is the real star of this food. Burrata is colder than I expect and the inner portion is not that creamy and on its way to be solid. Sad! 

Then the Lychee Ooling Tea! I do really enjoyed drinking this. Not too sweet and lychee do not overpower the tea taste. It is indeed a perfume. The aroma is inviting you to sip more. Haha! It is so tefreshing for the whole body! Lovvve it!! 

Please don’t forget to book a table if you do not want to join a long queue. Tea is well recommended. Thumb up!

Matahari Cafe at Nongsapura Ferry Terminal

ABBEY: Before departing from Indonesia, we had lunch at Matahari Cafe; one of the places to dine at Nongsapura Ferry Terminal. 

I got Nasi Lemak. Nothing extraordinary and almost the same taste of Nasi Lemaks I had in Singapore. But the chili is better than the one in Turi Beach resort. 

The whole restaurant is smoking area so be ready to be a second-hand smoker :)

WILL: This is the only restaurant in Nongsapura Pier. This is where we took our last meal on that trip, a lunch. 

I ordered fish curry and to wash it down I requested for hot red velvet. 

I expect too much on their red velvet. Frustration sank in when I felt the powdery substance in my drinks. Argh! Lucky enough, my fish curry met my "spicy" level. The curry is not that creamy on the photo but it is delicious. 

I looked on to Abbey for him to order me a cola and he finished my hot red velvet. Haha! 

Be warned! This is smoking cafe!

J Co. Donuts and Coffees - Batam City

ABBEY:
We finally got to taste the donuts of J.Co. Perfect partner is hot choco or coffee. We tried to their glazed and chocolate-flavored and filled donuts before we go back at SG. Price 17000 rupiah.

WILL: Searching on the net the donuts i must eat in just to fill up my cravings. I found this J Co., but never had the chance to try it here in Singapore. When we were in indonesia and saw it in their megamall, we gtab thr opportunity. Yeahba! Ha!
We ordered a hot choco an their chofilled donuts and the original glazed one. Mmmm, the taste, damn good! 

KFC Indonesia

ABBEY:
I heard Wilma's story about KFC in Indonesia and I'm so glad I tried it. No forks man, wash your hand and eat the chicken. Truly finger-lickin good. The meal cost 17000 rupiah. KFC - Kan't Fork the Chicken :)

WILL: Hmmm, so no one is using spoon and fork to eat chicken and rice. Eh di magkamay. :) I am not astounded by this fact cause when I am in McDonald's Jakarta last 2009 i used also my hand to eat their food.
Here in Kfc Indonesia, the crispiness is quite similar with the branches in Philippines, but they have no gravy. So we just dipped every pieces on their chili sauce :)
I forgot how much i paid but i am sure it valued a hundred thousand each :) 

A&W Restaurant - Batam Indonesia

ABBEY: Its a missed opportunity when we didn't go for this fast food chain in Nagoya Hills mall, Batam. While we're looking for a place to have lunch in Batam MegaMall, we spotted this. We were ecstatic as we find our table. While Wilma ordered food, I went for a photo shoot spree of the different sings and decors of the chain. Its special because its our initials, A & W :) The food is great. Taste like the one in Pinas. Of course, we wet our lips with their signature ice cream-root beer float. Half of it was wasted though, as it spilled when I put the straw on the mug. :)

WILL: I am not into rootbeer float thats why I am not that excited as much as Abbey when we saw their Megamall Batam branch. I am not also familiar with the taste of their food. Haha! But when I bite in to their fried chicken, so good lah. 
Wondering when they can branch out here in Singapore.
