Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Not the 1st time i visit Penuin wet market,nearby BCS Mall. Its however the 1st time i walk a little more thoroughly inside it,hehehe...and in the morning. So many fruits and vegetable in many colours inside the wet market place.


Thats the 1st store in the market when i walked in...i am guess this is must have been the most expensive stall since its location is so...prime,hehehe...could have probably paid a higher rental compared to many other stalls around. Its right at the entrance of the wet market.


Almost every fruits were calculated base on weight and on average about 35k rupiah per kilogram and 3 kilogram for 100k rupiah.

Walking further in...more stalls selling vegetable and some fruits.


These are very old time Singapore wet market stores.

Live chicken getting cleaned up and sold in the store below on the right side.


The floors wet, i think thats why they called it wet market. Quite boring for me to shop here as i still prefer the dryer supermarket style. Neater and cleaner. Unlike this wet market , so humidly hot and scent is...well, still bearable.

Below, its the even wetter part of the market,hehehe...where they sell "freshly" slaughtered fishes.


Among all the fishes, i only knew of one fish by name...which i will come to that later as its rather unique.

Some dry ikan billis and some dried prawns below.


The dried prawns arent cheap but if its compared to Singapore, its actually considered VERY cheap,hehehe...thats according to those aunties and uncles.

Hmm...i thought Kueh is suppose to be Indonesian's specialties...how come Chinese selling them too? Perhaps its due to breakfast time...hehehe...


I noticed that i keep getting attracted to the same stall that sells fish,hehehe...for a reason of course.


I dont take sea food, hence i am surprise i kept getting attract to the stall,hehehe...anyway, i didnt buy any fish but the aunties bought some salted fish slice instead.


...and inside the stall that the dried prawns and sliced salt fish.



Ok, back to the fish stall shop, i dont know if anyone had already notice this...


Stall owner of this fish shop actually sells SHARK meat in the wet market,hehehe...and that caught my attention when he starts yelling, Shark! It's real shark...hehehe...for sale!

(no, i didnt ask the price but was rather amazed as this is the 1st time i see market stall selling shark)

Another fish stall around the shark-selling stall that also sells fishes but didnt sell shark,hehehe...


Seems to me this above fish stall got no owner,hehehe...maybe they see me taking photo, they ran away...hehehe...

The route so far, in the middle of the wet market where i have walked through...


The rest of it were just clothes selling like those one see in People's Park in Singapore during the 80s. Nope, i didnt take anymore photo hereafter as those batik shops were quite clampy for me to get a clear shots.

So much for the penuin wet market visit. One of the places i might probably come more often if i am bringing uncles and aunties to Batam. It is quite an experience for me (even tho i felt rather boring),hehehe...
