Hehehe...yea, good to hear you are back safe and sound.

Room service is 24/7, I ordered their cumi goreng for Rp60,000 if I’m not wrong, it was actually quite tasty.
Without your FR,i would probably not have a chance to write something involving Amir or learn MORE about the MP in it anyway. The 1st page of this thread tells everyone that i am someone who collect info,compile it and then put it up here so that i am able to reference it in any event if i were to be there in future.

All in all, in order to do what you have seen me do,i need to put myself in your shoe in order to do it,hehehe...

Next time round, try the nasi goreng just opposite Gogo super market. It located at the basement of Harbour Bay Mall.


The cost for 3 person share of food was about 63k rupiah (inclusive of 2 drinks),hehehe...by the way, place is air-con-ed becos its just outside the super market,hehehe...


While the food is good there, there is something that is not very nice from most Singaporean's view. Cockroaches! Yes,i killed at least one before my meal in my every trip there tho, and there can be some flies around too.

* sorry,i have the habit of pointing both good and bad about a place,hehehe...die die must find something bad when i say good things or die die must find something good when i found a bad place.

And let the water run for 2 minutes before using, all taps in the toilet. They even have a label to remind you to do it. So just do it. I brush my teeth with mineral water. And lastly, no safe box. Apart from that, boss nono is quite spot on.
Actually, there are more of what i have missed,hehehe...for Amir,i choose to look at their most recent 2018 reviews and prioritize them. 2017 and 2016,i still take them into consideration but not that much tho. Reason is becos during 2018, they changed their furniture and done some make-over,hence i need to allow some "benefit of doubts" in between a period of time to allow them room for improvement.

Its like last year today you go Batam,and this year you go Batam on the same place, surely there will be some mild difference. And this period of time is technically the "room for improvement" period.


I try to give an as fair and as clear as possible review as possible tho. Its meant mainly for my own good,hehehe... i collect info. And by the way, the above photo is taken in Amir hotel.

* please do not quote my whole long post if you are replying to this post, thank you.
