[2025 Batu Ampar Restaurant] Travel Guide for Harbour Bay Seafood Restaurant (Updated Jul)

This time around, it was just me and my missus revisiting Harbour Bay Seafood for a more intimate dinner. Without the whole family, we kept the order light but focused on quality. We had the soy sauce fried sea bass, stir-fried lettuce, black pepper beef, and drunken prawns. The sea bass was fried to a perfect crisp with tender meat beneath the golden skin, and the savory soy sauce brought everything together. The black pepper beef had a strong, punchy kick that paired well with rice, while the drunken prawns were fresh and fragrant with Chinese wine. What made the evening even better was the setting — we were seated near the water’s edge, enjoying the sea breeze and soft lapping of waves. The twinkling lights across the bay added a touch of romance to our meal. Service was warm and attentive, just like we remembered from our previous visit. All in, it was a lovely, peaceful dinner with good food and an even better view — perfect for a quiet evening together. #summervacay #HarbourBaySeafood #BatamRomanticDinner #SeafoodLovers #SunsetByTheBay #DrunkenPrawns #CouplesGetaway #BatamEats #batam #batamtrip #indonesia #indonesiatrip

This sprawling seaside eatery delivers the full Batam seafood experience - plastic chairs on the pier, tanks of lively crabs and fish, and that unbeatable combination of salty air and sizzling woks. While there's no AC, the open-air layout means constant ocean winds keep things comfortable even at midday. The food shines when you stick to the live seafood: - Chilli crab that balances sweet and spicy perfectly - Butter prawns so crisp you eat the shells - Steamed grouper that arrives still quivering with freshness Service is brisk but friendly - staff help you pick just-caught fish from the tanks. Portions are made for sharing, with prices that won't sink your wallet. The lack of frills (think paper tablecloths and ice bucket drinks) only adds to its charm. Perfect for: • Sunset dinners with sea views • Large family gatherings (they handle 20+ person tables easily) • Travelers craving authentic "dining on the dock" vibes Tip: Come at 5pm to snag prime waterfront tables before the dinner rush. Their house-made sambal is legendary - ask for extra! Only downside: Occasional ferry noise from the nearby port, but that's part of the harbor charm. Verdict: Where else can you pick your dinner from a tank while watching fishing boats bob under pink skies? Batam seafood doesn't get more real than this. #batamguide #batamtrip #indonesiatrip #travel #seafood #indonesia #batam
