Agree with you bro on getting a cheaper hotel ,eg from Kaha or other 1 star or 2 star hotels near Formosa hotel...but for HJ,how to bargain for 150k from a newbie's perspective? Bargain from 300k to 200k in Formosa i am confident,but 150k is still a challenge to me cos will end up the girl doing the HJ face black black and end of the day do a lousy HJ.
For hotel food,i was warned not to order food or take any food/tit bits/drinks from Hotel room fridge by my fren during my 1st trip cos they will ultimately cost a bomb with their charges there does not include the 11% + 10% extra charges.
If i stay Formosa (which i usually does),i buy everything from what is in the hotel fridge from the supermarket downstairs of Formosa Hotel. It is in the hotel building itself,just step out of the hotel glass door,turn left...walk behind the hotel. Everything in the hotel fridge should not cost more than 100k.
For me to go really desperately budget on a 2D1N Batam Trip,i will :
1. Walk from Harbour Bay to Grand Nagoya 69 Hotel (very close to Formosa)at 200k per night.

2. Eat my lunch x 2 /dinner x 2 /breakfast x 1 at the hotel downstairs at 200k
3. Book girl at the Grand Nagoya 69 Hotel downstairs (New Berlian)at 600k + tip 200k (with good service).
4. Buy every necessities from Nagoya Hill Mall Hyper Mart for 2D1N - 100k
5. End of trip,walk from Grand Nagoya 69 Hotel (which is near Formosa) to Harbour Bay.
Total spending :
S$143.00 base on 9100/SGD + S$48.00 Ferry = S$191.00
