Located just a short distance from the heart of Malinau Kota, RM Batam Chinesse Food & Seafood is a standout destination for seafood lovers seeking a cozy yet refined dining experience. Nestled in the quiet surroundings of Malinau Hulu, this restaurant offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings or a relaxed meal with friends.

Specializing in Chinese-inspired seafood dishes, RM Batam brings to the table an array of flavors that captivate the palate. Diners frequently praise the freshness and quality of the seafood, where each bite bursts with authentic taste—whether it’s their signature fried squid, though customers note the crispy batter is delightfully thin, creating a delicate texture reminiscent of light chips, or their hearty Batam fish soup, which, while slightly salty according to some patrons, carries a rich depth of flavor perfect as a comforting starter.

Beyond the delicious fare, RM Batam offers great value with reasonably priced dishes that do not compromise on quality.

Makanan nya enak2, cuma ada beberapa menu yang perlu diperhatikan. 1. Cumi goreng tepung nya terlalu tipis, jadi kesannya seperti makan keripik. 2. Sop ikan batam nya cendrung rasa asinnya terlalu kuat. Selebihnya ok. Sukses selalu Rm. BATAM.

The most expensive seafood restaurant in Malinau. Probably, because of its facilities and services, it charges a high price. Even though its foods are tasty and delicious. Located remote from other culinary centres, it becomes a referenced place for treating VIP guests.
