Parents visiting Batam, rejoice! Discover Moora, a spacious lakeside cafe perfect for a stress-free family outing. The main attraction is a dedicated children's playground, giving adults a chance to relax. While the kids play, enjoy the serene lake view, weekend live music, and surprisingly delicious, affordable food. Don't miss the signature Lontong and Es Kopi Susu Moora. Just be prepared for potentially slow service and enjoy the chill atmosphere. It’s a true game-changer for family trips.
Every time I take the kids to Batam Island, finding a place where adults can chill and the kids won't cause a fuss is a monumental challenge! 🤦♀️ It's either a nice environment but ridiculously expensive, or they just don't welcome kids… That is, until I discovered this place, Moora. It's an absolute lifesaver for family outings!
The moment I walked in, I was shocked by how spacious it was. It's huge! Inside, the air conditioning is strong, and outside, there's a lake view. On weekend nights, there's even live music[1], which really sets the mood. Most importantly, they actually have a dedicated children's playground[2]! All the moms out there will get it—my eyes lit up when I saw the playground. I can finally sit down and have a cup of coffee in peace, sob.
Don't just look at the ambiance, the food is Mantap too!
I didn't have high hopes for the food at this kind of 'Instagram-famous' looking restaurant, but I was proven so wrong...
☕️ Es Kopi Susu Moora[3]: I have to rave about this! It's probably the best iced latte I've had in Batam. The coffee flavor is rich, the sweetness is just right, and one sip is super refreshing.
🇮🇩 Lontong Signature[4]: This Indonesian rice cake is absolutely amazing! The rice cake is soft and chewy, the sauce is rich, and it has an authentic flavor you can't even find in Singapore. The quality is impressive.
🥟 Cireng Goreng[5]: Fried aci starch, a snack that locals absolutely love. It's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. You dip it in the sauce, and it's gone in a flash.
The key is the price! We had four dishes and two drinks, and the total came out to less than 20 Singapore dollars. The value for money is so good I thought I'd miscalculated! The portions are also very generous[6], definitely not just for show.
Some real talk (whispering...)
After all that praise, I have to be honest about a few things. The service speed here... is honestly a bit Anjay 😅. Slow service is a common complaint. The table next to us waited for almost an hour and had to remind them several times[7]. So if you come here starving, you really need to be patient.
Also, not all the dishes are a guaranteed hit. A friend said their satay was just so-so[8], and it seemed like it was fried instead of grilled. Also, for friends coming by motorcycle, be careful. I've heard about helmets being stolen from the parking lot[9], so make sure to keep your valuables safe!
【My Honest-to-God Guide】
- Who should come? Families with kids (top choice!), friends looking for a place to Nongkrong, and it's also great for couples on a date.
- What to order? You can't go wrong with the Es Kopi Susu Moora[10] and Lontong Signature[11].
- When to come? If you want to listen to music, come on Friday to Sunday nights, but it's crowded and the service is slow. If you want some peace and quiet, come on a weekday.
- Tips to avoid disappointment: It gets crowded during meal times, so be prepared to wait for a table. Don't have high expectations for the service speed. Just be zen, and enjoy the atmosphere. 🛵
- Bloggers call the Es Kopi Susu Moora Batam's best iced latte. It's rich, strong, and perfect for the heat [1].
- Parents can enjoy lake views, A/C, and live music while kids play in their own playground [2][3]. A perfect vacation.
- Four dishes, two drinks for under S$20? Amazing value and huge portions, like prices from 10 years ago [4]
