Golden Prawn 933 Seafood (Bengkong)
Golden Prawn 933
A large seafood restaurant built on stilts over the sea. It is the flagship of Batam's 'seafood street,' and its chili crab and steamed fish are the most popular dishes.
Golden Prawn 933 is on the seashore in Bengkong, northeast Batam, and is one of the island's best-known seafood restaurants. Hundreds of tables sit on wooden boardwalks that extend out over the water. At the entrance, live crabs, lobsters, grouper, geoduck clams and prawns swim in tanks, and after you order, they are weighed and cooked fresh. The signature dishes are chili crab, pepper crab, cereal prawns, ginger-and-scallion steamed fish and stir-fried water spinach. Prices are about half those in Singapore. The restaurant often receives tour groups, so it is lively in the evening. Coming at sunset lets you watch the sun go down over the sea. Getting there: a taxi from Nagoya or central Batam takes about 15 minutes. Tips: Check the price per kilogram and the weight of each item when ordering. Book ahead on weekends.
