I am not sure about that cos i dont drink but according to what i know most Batam items dont come with a price tag,and even if there is one,the price sometime can be surprisingly lowered.
My last trip to Princess Massage,what i did not mention in my summary is we have 2 person me and my fren who goes for the massage and each person is suppose to be paying 120k/hr to use the VIP room with bath tub. After massage during the time to foot the bill,i pay 120k to the receptionist and when its my fren's turn to pay,the receptionist keep insisting i have already paid for him. (maybe my fren handsome..lol)All these happens in the presence of me and my fren at the reception...lol.
I am sure everyone here know i am the "stingy type",they ask me for 120k,i 101% wont pay more (i am more likely to pay less tho),hehehe... The best part is ,she keeps insisting she is right and both of us are wrong. Being a typical Sillyporean and not wanting to short change others for the service we had,we end up having to talk to a Chinese-looking Indo man from the shop who later reprimand the receptionist for the wrong calculation...lol. Anyway,my fren pays the 120k he duely owed...the Chinese indo man,the reception lady and us just laugh off the commotion (we know we could easily walk off paying only 120k).
Come to think of it,i had quite a shock in Princess Massage which i suddenly remember now (my memory failing) that a very very very young Chinese girl, supposingly is the Indo Chinese man's daughter showed us to our room when we were there. The girl can anytime be below 8 years old age (we need to climb 2 floors to reach our room). Should she be even allowed to show us to our room? I really feel uncomfortable at that point of time (there are other people in other rooms where the little girls lead us).
