I tried the chicken and lamb meats. Both are well-marinated and tasty. Their rice cake is also very very good; the texture is just nice. Basically it is a must try if you love Sate Madura! It is very hard to find this place for first-timers but if you are in Tiban area, you really should try to find. It will be worth your while. Enjoy you Satay Lovers!

The chicken is soft and juicy. Main glaze is sweet. The charcoal aroma is superbly strong. Burnt crisps here and there, which I absolutely love. And their chili is so gooood. Not really spicy but fragrant with strong hints of tomatoes. Everything about this dish spells E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!

Indomie is the brand of Indonesia’s number one Instant Noodle. It is so popular that you could find Indomie almost anywhere in the world. Indomie itself has countless variations that you write an entire book on it. But for this posting purpose, let’s just say most eating places that have Indomie in their menu would have Indomie Goreng and Indomie Rebus. This “Miso Ajo Selat Panjang” serve both types at a very high level.
MISO AJO SELAT PANJANG STALL
This is the front look of Miso Ajo stall. Do not be deceived by this picture. They get really crowded during most nights. I just love to beat the crowd because sometimes, food quality gets compromised when many orders come in together. And I just don’t like to wait! hahahaha
INDOMIE GORENG (DRY)
This is their Fried version. The main flavor is salty and spicy. Has a rather strong fragrance from its special chili sauce. The real kicker for me is the noodle texture. Truly a masterpiece.
INDOMIE REBUS (WET)
Can you feel this noodle calling out to you? That thick looking soup. Looks spicy but it is not really that spicy. Uses the same special chili sauce but somehow, tastes quite different compared to the dry version. It is still very good though.
In conclusion, you really should make your way here. This is how locals eat and it cannot get anymore local than eating Indomie in this kind of setting. They do sell other dishes but I am a self-proclaimed Indomie specialist. So let’s just stick with Indomie!

Must try! Each of us has own favorite ketoprak stall. Well, this is mine. Regardless what we like though, this stall is still gonna be popular as it has always been since 2004. If you are into real local street food, then this is a must visit. The location is easily accessible by tourists too
WHAT IS KETOPRAK?
This is authentic Indonesian street snack. It has white vermicelli, lontong, bean sprout, fried tofu, and fried/boiled egg. All these topped with peanut sauce. Not just any peanut sauce, but it is ketoprak peanut sauce. It is different sauces than satay, gado gado, pecel, etc. I absolutely adore their peanut sauce. You just have to try this if you love peanut sauce!
Hariyono, the owner, is a very friendly person. He does not speak English but just tell him “Pak, ketoprak satu” or just use your body language to order. Please also try the Toast and Banana Stalls next to him. In fact, you can try any stall on this stretch and I am sure you would more or less like it
ORDERING TIPS
1. Without beansprout, less lontong, and 3 chilis
2. You could request more chilis if you love it spicy
3. If you would like vegetarian option, let the owner knows when ordering
You MUST also try the Toast and Bbq Bananas located just beside this stall. Read more here

HOURS: 18:00 – midnight (estimate)
This is how the stall looks like, roadside cart with simple chairs and tables to sit on. This kind of queue and crowd is the usual view when coming to this place
MIE AYAM aka CHICKEN NOODLE – The noodle is too soggy for my taste. I prefer more QQ noodle texture. The chicken is pretty good with mainly sweet taste. The soup/broth is not tasty enough for me.
BAKSO aka BEEF BALL SOUP – For a roadside stall category and pricing, this is one of the best beef ball I ever had in Batam. Especially that huge one with tendon, very satisfying.
TIPS
Feel free to request whether you want it wet or dry. In turn this will affect the noodle texture. I don’t like my noodle too soggy so I usually request it a bit dry.

There are many of such roadside stalls selling this in Indonesia. My favorite stall in Batam is here (see location below). Ari, the cook, makes the most consistent ones and he is good at picking ripe bananas. He is also friendly and generous. If you are a female, flirt with him a little and he will give you more toppings. If you are a male, do not attempt to flirt with him or you might have stomach ache. Hahahaa just kidding. He is really a nice and friendly guy. Have known him for many years.
He also sells “Roti Bakar” aka toast. You should try my special order Kaya Cheese toast with extra cheese on top. Tell him, he knows. If you want to go banana-crazy, you can consider putting banana+chocolate+cheese inside the toast! Go there have your supper snacks tonight!

]]>Compared to Pop Up Market in Nagoya, the selections here are lesser. However, I found a unique snack popular in Java Island. It is called “Tiwul Gatot”. I also chanced upon this bbq chicken which was very good. Then there were some of the usual stalls that serve good food like “Pepes Tahu” and “Pecel Kak Yuli”. For more details, please take a look at the video below
I would strongly recommend you to come here and enjoy the food scene. I am sure you would love it especially if you love street food!

This stall is quite legendary in Nagoya area. It has been selling for almost two decades on the same spot. In terms of overall taste, meat, and sauce quality, this satay is one of the better ones in Batam
I am always a “kacang” sauce kinda person but its “padang” sauce here is delicious. Remember, you can always mix these two sauces together for some fun! Mixing it actually tastes goooooodddd

]]>This market is only available during the fasting month! Yes, only around one month in the entire year. So please do come here and check out. There are tons of Indonesian street food here. Some of them are as authentic as they come. Some of them I have never tried before. This is a heaven for those who love street food!
Local people call this kinda market as “Pasar Kaget” which directly translated to “Shocked Market”. Why?
– the market pops out of nowhere for the first day of Ramadhan Fasting month across Indonesia!
– the amount of people packed in this small area is crazy
– the variety of food is quite shocking
– the prices are quite cheap
– the number of stalls here are enough for you to hunt for 1-2 week
I just love the atmosphere here. Truly localistic experience. Full of roadside stalls and Indonesian local food. If there is any night food market in Batam worth visiting, this is it! Please do note that the location this hear was moved to one road away due to construction that is going on in the original spot. Still pretty easy to find. You won’t miss it!

The omelette was crispy at the edge and soft in the middle. It was fragrant. Mainly salty with a little spicy punch (can add more chili if you want). Overall, this plate of oyster omelette should be able to satisfy most tongues. I personally think it can fight with the big boys in this department. I apologize for the loss focus in this picture.

As always, Madura Satays have chicken and lamb meats. The chicken meat usually come with peanut sauce while the lamb meat usually come with sweet soy sauce and some “Acar”. Both options taste good for me. I love their tender meats and bbq skill. The peanut sauce is definitely the key here. The only let down is the rice cake, which is too soft for my personal taste.
You can consider hunting for Sate Madura Cak Umar in Tiban Area if you are into this kind of Madura Satays.
NOTE: Try the “Bakso Gunung” next to this Satay Stall. You will not regret it

This Pop Up Market is so fun that I have to come here the second time. You should try all the ones I am showing in this video. They are pretty good, especially the Kue Soerabi Solo Pak Panjul and Martabak Mini!
