Batam Boomz - Cafe Lunch

It's the last day of my stay at the Holiday Inn Batam and we're all stuffed. When you finally take a step back and review what you ate during a trip, the amount can be rather shocking. Almost every meal is a gastronomic spread. After enjoying 2 days of feasting and several rounds of the buffet breakfast that very morning, we decided to have an early and light lunch before taking the ferry back home.

However, when we sat at the hotel cafe and began browsing through the menu, our initial intention of having a light meal kind off dissipated. PT ordered Nasi Goreng and it was a huge portion that arrived. The satay was tender and the rice was tasty with the smokey flavours of belacan and kecap manis.




I opted for a Grilled Vegetable Sandwich to compensate for the meat and seafood binge that I had enjoyed over the past few days. It was a tasty and refreshing meal. Psychologically (at least) I felt healthier.



Since it was our last meal before we headed home, we decided to order one more pizza for the road. As we were in Indonesia, the natural choice was (what else...) Rendang Pizza. On hindsight, it wasn't really a good choice. Rendang and cheese don't really go hand in hand.
