Freshbeer Batam Centre — Restaurant in Batam City

Decided to take a ferry to Batam just to look for this place after reading about it online for its exotic menu available. (Don't worry, there are 'normal' food selections too for everyone)

Took a 15mins cab ride from Harbour Bay terminal as I wasnt confident of finding it as it's not along the main road.

Started with the green beer. Taste wise, domestic lager. But I am not there for that. It quenches and has the ABV so no complains here.

Jumped in with Crocodile, had it goreng (fried) and had the snake meat cooked with black pepper.

LOVED both. The black pepper was so aromatic. The fried sliced croc made perfect bar bites with beer.

Portion wasnt too big so I could order the Biawak (Monitor Lizard) which is only served Goreng style. It comes on bone so dig in with your hands and dip it in the spicy sweet black sauce. Meat has a natural sweetness to it. This has to be my fav dish of the 3.

They have taken bat off the menu so that was a slight disappointment. But hey, still a strong exotic offering.

Very friendly female staff who tended to me. Will be back again to...

Home made beer (Dark, Green, Lager, Light lager) was nice and cheap. 22,000+? Many choices of food but the taste is normal and many of them just warmed up from refrigerator. Some of the food is not cheap. Yakitori took me about 60k. However no choice but to have finger food with the nice beer.

If you come only for beer, try the finger food as simple as possible. If you are hungry, try the noodle or local food. No promise of the price as there is no price in their menu.

Staff is very friendly although they will ask for tips when bill. I gave 15k of tips, she smile so much and keep saying...

Place for relaxing and tasting wild animal food (likes snake, crocodile, bird??or something else that you hard to find in another restaurants) and yeah, like its name, fresh beer, its also have fresh beer to serve . i have try their pork ribs and many more (some i already forget the menu names. hhaa), its also good! four star because i cannot drink beer, so i didn't know the taste of it. but for food,...
