The Goods Dept Take 2

I've been back to The Goods Dept at Plaza Indonesia since my first visit there a few months ago. I would usually have my go to Coffee Rub Burger sans bacon, and one of their mixed fruit slushies; my favorite! Another time, I remember having their bagel, and mushroom fries... not good not good. I don't exactly remember how the Nasi Goreng Buntut tastes like, but I think it was not excellent enough to be memorable.

The Goods Dept Plaza Indonesia has now moved to Pacific Place. I have never tried any of their food at the new branch.

Berry Ginger... Pomegranate?

Nasi Goreng Buntut

Apple Cucumber Tea

The GOODS Dept at Plaza Indonesia

I have been REALLY skeptical about this not so new restaurant located right down at Plaza Indonesia, @theGOODSdept, which I will simply type as The Goods Dept from now on. Combining a bistro/cafe and a boutique, The Goods Dept brings dining experience to whole new level.

Yes I was skeptical. A cafe and a shop? How good can the food be? However, after hearing some ravenous reviews about the burger at The Goods Dept, I finally decided to try 'em out for my own. It felt weird initially, at least to me, having the feeling that people were window shopping not only at the goods sold, but also at me who happens to be chilling (and man handling the burger) with some of my friends at the cafe. But, once I got a bite at the coffee rub burger, I somehow didn't care if people were watching me at all! Yes, it's that good! It's tasty, juicy, tender yet firm, and just the right thickness for my mouth to bite into!

Since my first visit to The Goods Dept, I've been back for a few other times to try out some of their other foods and drinks.. And as this is my first post on The Goods Dept, I will make a review and have the pictures of the food I had at The Goods Dept on another post.

Ciao for now!
