certain product is not allowed. Egg is one of them. Fresh meat is another one. You can go to ICA website, it will explain what is allowed and what is not allowed. Also, depending on which checkpoint. for example, if you arrive via Changi, there is a free duty for alcohol. But if you arrive via Woodland checkpoint or Tuas Checkpoint, there is no duty free for alcohol. You MUST DECLARE. Even Shandy is not allowed.

Thank you.

I always buy a box of 10.
When I reach sg usually will left 7-8pcs.
Btw I never been checked when clearing sg custom.

Noted with thanks.

I asked becos i read somewhere before that hotly cooked foods cannot be brought thru immigration point. I think it was the same time i read about things like Sea Horse cannot be brought in (to singapore) unless a certain license is approved from the authorities. Things like layer cakes can be brought in but well...hehehe...i was just hope to be sure. Hmm...since its not a major issue (at most just lost 30k rupiah),...hehehe...its gonna be fun in my next trip.

Its Swee's curry puff,just at the building beside Biz Hotel. The other end of Nagaya City Walk mall,only 3k rupiah a piece. If you like local Indonesia food,you should give it a try. There are 2 favors,the Chicken or Sardine favor. I didnt believe it was nice becos i dont like the thick skinned curry puff but after trying it,its becoming a must-eat for me in Batam,hehehe...

If i am fated to see you during your Dec trip,i might just drop a few pieces of it into your room,hehehe...its like the Indonesia version of Jco.

Indeed, I take FRESH FRUIT with me, not alcohol or Indonesian meat. Actually, also importing fruit in some cases may be not allowed, because of possible desease spreading.
Officers at X-Ray machines look especially for tobacco and alcohol, so luckily they don't care if I have 10 kg of papayas, mangos and manggis in my luggage.
To be honest, years ago I brought also one big durian with me. That durian travelled packed with my dirty clothes in a backpack all the way from my room in Formosa, to Harbour Bay, to Harbour Front, then 1 hour in MRT, then to Changi, then shipped with checked luggage all the way to my home in Europe.
I am happy I was not caught in the MRT with it. I won't repeat.

You say "fated"?? LOL. I wish you Fate will give you a better gift than meeting me
The way you write, it seems you want to drop cookies in my room without telling me, like a poisonous bait....
