BSD City for the first time. Any recommendations?

I am traveling to BSD City for the first time (Feb 10 to Feb 16).
Any information and recommendation is highly appreciated!
Please PM me.
Thanks in advance,

Tegal / Brebes Pelaman Compleks
Night number two in Tegal, got dropped off at Bahari Inn to check out the scene. Maybe a little early for once again the place deserted. The millionth customer (not)
Went in, ordered a beer and got going with a basic conversation with manager and barman.
Manager greatly overestimates my Indonesian language skills and spends 25 minutes in this monologue on ceweks, bars, opening hours and how busy the place can get (although not in evidence at that point) , I swear I actually finished my big bottle of Anker before he drew breath. Make mental note to recommend this guy for listening skills course.
Manager confirms pricing system for some rather chunky karaoke girls is similar to Karlita disco. At which point your correspondent thinks it better to brave the mosquito's outside in search of his quest.
So sitting with security guards at gate having a chuckle about stuffing the fat one into my suitcase so he can try some highly paid work in a foreign land. (he asked) and waiting for taxi.
Taxi which was a regional shitty variety turns out to do a regular run each night out to Pelaman compleks to bring mamasan and employee chickens back to Tegal after closing of karaoke bar.
So we call by and pick mamasan up who is a battle hardened ex Bali girl and beat our way up the potholed national highway which joins Jakarta and Surabaya to Pelaman, halfway between Brebes and Tegal. One of the nice things about Java is that plenty of people = plenty of players, so cewek / bebek / ayam / ciblek never too far away.
Arrive and get VIP treatment which entails riding on the back of a motorcycle through this complex of a hundred or more karaoke bars / short time joints, although truth be told it was to stop me spying some very nice looking girls before I got to mamasans joint. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. There were some seriously nice looking girls in this place and lots and lots of them.
So get to Karaoke joint, Bar Diamond something something, drink beer, pick girl. 19yo can't remember her name but she was up to standard, pay money (too much) for all night back at Karlita, chat chat with girls, finish beer, wait for battle hardened mamasan to close joint down for night.
Back in taxi bumping back down national highway with buses by the hundreds flying past, (where do all these people go to?) , drop off mamasan and brood, call past warung to get some dinner for girl and back to hotel.
Girl left around 8AM, OK, nothing earth shattering but would definitely like to have another look at Pelaman. After SK in Semarang, this place was actually quite clean and ordered and the locals were warm enough.
Not sure how the rules work about getting ST in these places, some had signs up that said "No check in", which I was told meant no doing the girl onsite although would love it if anybody could tell me the rules about a place like this and how to get takeout.
I have to go back to Tegal for nothing if not to eat more of their delicious tempeh, so will make it a date with destiny to investigate Pelaman further.
