Many of Batam Hotels serve Japanese cuisine like sushi. It is identical to delicious raw dish. This kind of food is no longer 'strange' toward the Indonesian tongue.

In Batam - Indonesia, there is a cafe that serves cheap Japanese culinary in good quality. Dewa Ruci at Café, at Palm Springs Blok A II No. 5 (exactly is behind Galael Batamcentre) presents a variety of Japanese food including cooked sushi.

Cafe Dewa Ruci has a number of different offers menus like Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Beef Spagetti, And Beef Yakiniku.

Barelang Bridge - Batam

Barelang Bridge - Batam, originally uploaded by TeeJe.

Barelang Bridge - Batam
The Barelang Bridge (Jembatan Barelang) is a chain of 6 bridges of various types that connect the islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang, giving the system its name.
The smaller islands of Tonton, Nipah, and Setotok (considered as parts of the Batam Island chain itself) connect Batam and Rempang. The bridge is an icon of the local area and is a popular tourism site. Some locals call the bridge Jembatan Habibie after Jusuf Habibie , who oversaw the project in construction, aiming to transform the Rempang and Galang islands into industrial sites (resembling present-day Batam).
However, the bridge site has grown more into a tourist attraction rather than a transportation route.
