Batam is one of the Riau islands in Indonesia, just a short ferry ride from Singapore. Some of the things that come straight to my mind when talking about Batam are Kueh Lapis (Layered Cake), Polo factory outlet, finding a 2nd wife (Mistress) and etc.
Finally, I had this chance to make a trip there to take a look myself. This trip was pretty short, therefore we just explored around the city area.
