Martabak 818 — Restaurant in Batam City

This is some mad tasty snack. I got the Toblerone + Cheese for abt $8 SGD, I thought there would be like 5 pieces in a packet.

I came back after two years, and it’s still my ultimate favorite martabak manis that I can't find anywhere else. The only downside is the location—it shares space with a non-halal coffee shop, and the smoke while they’re cooking can be overwhelming, causing some sneezing while you wait. Despite that, the martabak manis is...
