I do,but what i was wondering is ,all over the World most people from the age group of 8 to 38 loves McDonald junk food which makes me curious how come Mcdonald isnt as popular in Batam as in Sillypore (or the rest of the World).

Yes,i agree Mcdonald serves junk food,but from my perspective, Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant(one of Sillypore known 10 best Chinese Restaurant) in Sillypore serves no less junk food as compared to Mcdonald,with their extra Oil,extra Sugar,extra Salt ingredients during the procession of their food in its restaurant menu. Its also the exact same Chinese restaurant the Indonesia ex.President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono visit in his visit to Sillypore. I happen to have the honour to see him in person there during one of my visit to the restaurant. I doubt most local indos in Batam understand what Junk food is but come to think of it during my time in Batam,i rarely see the Batam locals eat their main course of food sandwiched in bread.I only have a one time experience that my booking girl joined me to A & W restaurant at Nagoya Hill Mall to have a set meal. Just like i rarely see the China Chinese drinks cow milk or the Northern India's Indian drinking English Tea.

So my guess is,its probably their brought up on their food culture that makes Mcdonald food less favourable.

"Xin Ga Po" a food paradise? Hehehe....not to me at least. Good Sillypore food is coming to an extinction,my friend.And my guess in the next 10 years down the road,one is unlikely to see REAL GOOD down to earth Sillypore food that still uses our ancestor's recipe. Most of Sillypore's food that is done traditionally as accord to its respective culture are slowly being overtaken by machines and replaced by ingredients that are less organic.

How many noodle stores hand-made their noodles in Sillypore? Technically only less than a handful i know but in Batam,almost every small noodle stores i visit uses handmade noodles. The chickens we ate in any restaurants,hawkers,food stores etc in Sillypore,how many of them did not went thru the "anti-biotic" or some other man-made chemical process? So,our next question now becomes,what is healthy food and what is good tasting food,hehehe....and in my perspective,healthy food rarely taste good,and good tasting food is rarely healthy.

I came out with one solution for myself,take in all the tasty junk food,but de-toxic them from my body later,hehehe....thats why i am kind of glad to be in the TCM healthcare industry today.

Next time you come to Batam,plan and stay around longer,do something you wouldnt normally do...Batam trip is like break from the norm,too much break time is not going to be very healthy,hehehe....
