Batam Layer cake known also as kek lapis or kueh lapis is a must have in Batam. It can be found in most malls and Batam ferry terminals. The time and dedication required to produce a layer cake sets them apart from other cakes. But where do you go to get the best ones?
It’s likely that you’ll want to buy your layer cake when you arrive or just before you return home to take back as a gift or memento. This is why you often see layer cakes being sold in shops called Oleh-Oleh. The local term for something you take home for others after traveling. This is why you will also see them at the ferry terminals. Especially Batam Center and Harbour Bay where there are more travelers. Nagoya Hill Mall, BCS Mall, DC Mall and Batam Grand Mall also have stalls selling layer cake.
However, by far the best way for you to get your layer cake warm and fresh, is to order it, and have it delivered. We order layer cakes for our guests taking day tours or staying in our vacation suites.
