Cha Kue Abun Lontong Goreng 66. Fried Rice Cakes or Char Koay Kak in Batam

Every time I am in Batam (though I must admit I haven't been there that many times), I inevitably ended up at a coffee shop near Pasar Penuin Wet Market which locals call 榕树下 or "under the banyan tree". There are a few popular food stalls at Kopitiam Long Shu Siah - one of them is Cha Kue "Abun".

There were moments of tension - the car was rolling at a steady clip along CTE (Central Expressway) and we haven't made up our minds on where to eat 😱 I felt the most tension because I am the "food blogger" 🙄
