Believe it or not,its a typo error. I run a point to point walk from Formosa to Top 100 online before i post the photo of the map and google says it takes 2 min to walk there. But yet i typed 1 min on screen,hehehe...

No one i believe ,will try to save S$0.20 by walking from Formosa to Top 100. But when i was typing the previous message,i was comparing with bro biostar's Hyper Mart 9k Yakult at Nagoya Hill Mall (Nagoya Hill Mall took an about 5 mins walk to reach and my reply quoted by you was meant for him too). If i dont remember wrong, the ground floor provision shop (not the K-Mart beside hotel entrance) behind Formosa hotel's same block sells Yakult at 7.5k rupiah.

I wont use an about 5 mins of travel time to head to another place just to buy something that cost more. I was looking to travel in lesse time to buy things cheaper,hehehe...

It happened to me too, to see at Hypermart at Nagoya HIll tons of Yakult placed for sale on floor out of the refrigerator. The under-training of Indo staff in Batam is surprising at times. Just few hours will be enough to damage the product irreparably, just as yogurt or milk. Good luck to the stomach of those who eat that!
I thought i was the only one in Batam to notice that lots of Yakult werent refrigerated (staffs obviously lacking knowledge). I told my parents about it and they tell me to be careful too about the non-refrigerated ones,as probiotic drinks such as Yakult require constant colder temperature storage.

*Nagoya Hill Mall and other shopping malls usually switch off their building air-con around 830pm Batam time and have them turn on next morning at about 10am.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are called "the good" microorganisms because they benefit the body, specifically the digestive system. Probiotics, available in some foods and dietary supplements, are similar to probiotics that exist naturally in your gut.
Putting good/bad live bacteria that is found existing naturally in my gut in a normal room temperature is definitely not going to be a good thing for them,hehehe...
