Just to share with everyone that a new foodcourt has opened in Batam Centre area, nearby KFC Palm Spring and not too far away from the largest Buddhist temple in Batam. Been in operation for about 2 months thereabouts, I reckon.
It’s called Foodcourt 28 (search for Pujasera 28 on Google Maps); I believe it’s opened by the same boss of Foodcourt A2 and J8...

Foodwise, it’s pretty good... Has my favourite satay Pui Ce satay (has outlets in both A2 and J8), and the seafood stalls’ cooking is not bad, much better than J8 in my opinion.
Has a wide variety of food, including Thai mookata, Lok-Lok, Chinese herbal soups, and special mention for the roast duck stall, the roast duck is quite nice.
Worth a try and it’s not as crowded as A2...
