Lamak Basamo - Lagoi — Restaurant in Riau Islands

During the pandemic, visitors are not to many, i heard this Pujasera is one of favorite place among the travellers because the place is offer reasonable price for the meals. And ussually very crowded. This place is in the Area of Bintan Hotel And Resort (famous as Lagoi Area). Surrounded by bank office, restaurant and local minimarket, you must entrance the pujasera by scanning the barcode. So remember to download barcode application and for ios user; you only have to shot the pic of QRcode then it directly can through the link.

You can find BCA, Maybank, Mandiri ATM in this area. Average meal is 10K until 25K. The differences quite huge while at Treasure bay you should pay 30K for one hotdog and 50K for smoothies. But every place have their own customer and advantages. In Pujasera you cannot find western food, this place only serve Melayu/ Indonesian food and beverage, some of them sell local fruit and prawn/fish/gonggong crackers. For kids some seller offer nugget or fried fritters (fish, sotong/squid, prawn, vegetables), so dont have to be worry to bring your kids to this place.

The fried chicken was really tender and flavourful.

Kang Kong was a bit salty but auntie was kind enough to offer us non-spicy garlic type without us asking.

Beef rendang was very authentic Indonesian cuisine.

The fried fish was amazing, very crispy on the outside and succulent inside. Cassava leaves were the best I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t recommend the drink stall as all drinks were made from instant packets. Ended up getting a tehbottol from the local warung nearby

Quite a sight though… think we’ll come back to try other stalls, but their opening times are a bit of a hit and miss especially...

A good place to go if u r tired of meals in resort and want to join the locals. We came for dinner. About 5 stalls were still open. We picked one which serves made on order tze char. The fried chicken was really tender and juicy. Kang Kong was a bit salty but auntie was kind enough to offer us non-spicy garlic type without us asking. The mee goreng is indeed local flavour. As for the soup kway teow, this is prob the first time we have food with more ingredients than shown in photo. Wouldn’t recommend the drink stall as all drinks were made from instant packets. Quite a sight though… think we’ll come back to try other stalls. After all, travel is about finding out what...
