Neighbourhood guide

Bengkong

Neighbourhood food where locals actually eat.

Bengkong is a dense residential district between Nagoya and Batam Centre. It is not on most visitor itineraries, which is exactly why it is interesting.

This is where neighbourhood food stalls and everyday Batam life happen, a short ride from the main hotel areas.
