Batam's Indonesian restaurant scene is a delicious paradox: despite being a quick ferry ride from Singapore, this island has managed to preserve the soul of authentic Indonesian cuisine while adding its own creative flair. Here, you'll find everything from perfectly charred ikan bakar served on banana leaves to complex rendang that's been simmering for hours, all prepared by chefs who understand that great Indonesian food is about layering flavors, not just heat. The best part? These aren't tourist traps serving watered-down versions of the classics. These are places where locals bring their families for Sunday lunch and business meetings alike.
