Since its debut, SOI Brunch has successfully maintained its position as one of Batam’s most talked-about dining destinations. Owned by MasterChef Indonesia Top 3 finalist Nick Nierxen, the restaurant brings a high level of technical skill to everyday brunch.
It’s a place that refuses to stay static, constantly evolving its Asian-fusion menu and expanding its reach—drawing crowds not just from Batam, but consistently from neighboring Singapore and Malaysia.
The Energy of a Modern Neighborhood Eatery
The MasterChef Touch: Modern Asian Brunch at SOI
Located in the bustling Penuin area, the atmosphere at SOI is lively and contemporary. The space is intentionally cozy, which adds to the vibrant, high-energy "buzz" that defines a popular brunch spot.
While the weekends can get particularly busy and the seating may feel intimate when full, it’s all part of the charm. It’s a space that feels lived-in, loved, and always moving, making it perfect for a social meal in a central location.
Your Penuin Pitstop
SOI Brunch remains a top-tier recommendation for those who appreciate a chef’s perspective on Asian comfort food.
Whether you are there for their hearty pastas or their new, refined dessert line, it’s a staple experience in the Penuin area that continues to live up to the hype.
Best For: Group brunches, dessert dates, and fans of modern Asian-fusion.
Something Hearty
Wagyu Somen: A generous, umami-rich dish. The wagyu is tender, and the thin somen noodles are served in a peppery sauce that hits the right savory notes.
Tom Yum Pasta: Creamy and bold. It strikes a great balance between zesty sourness and a hint of sweetness.
The Dessert Line
Pandan Bingsu: A lighter, sophisticated take on pandan. It’s creamy and refreshing, our tip is to soak the accompanying bread in the cream for the best texture.
Nutella Cheesecake: Thick, rich, and melty. It delivers a deep Nutella profile with a subtle hint of caramel.
Tu Cha Series: A balanced specialty series that plays with sweet and sour notes, finished with a satisfying crunch.
