How Healthy Foods Should Be - Burgreens: Review

     So, it was a hot Tuesday. Yes, as always. So, I (and my school friends, actually) visited a cafe that in my opinion, very unique. The place wasn't big and quite hidden. It's Burgreens, a cafe located in Rempoa. Finding this cafe isn't easy, because as I mentioned previously, it's not big and quite hidden. Well, what do they offer there?

     After arriving there, I looked around the place. There are some plants around the place, making the cafe looked 'green-ish'. I sat on an outdoor place. It's quite hot, but the plants around made the atmosphere not too hot. There are some plants and stone floors in the outdoor side. Inside, you can found the cashier, bar, a refrigerator with dozens of jars inside, a quote on the wall, green wall, kitchen, and some seats and tables. A little bit dark, but still fine. Plus, there are no much cars or motorcycles roamed around the cafe. I saw around the cafe and... Whoa. The tables outside. Clean! The tables and chairs are quite rusty and old-fashioned, supporting the cafe's interior theme. Circle shaped, brown color, a vase, so garden-ish. There's a glass with flower on it, making the tables more sweet and neat! The same thing applied to the tables in the indoor place.

     The place where I sat is beside the kitchen and indoor room. I even can see the cook (or cooks, I don't really remember) making the dishes through the window! Then I grabbed the menu and started to order some foods, which actually is the main thing that makes this cafe unique - They're are pure made from organic vegetables. No meat. Even their main menu is... Burger. Well, that's interesting, making a burger without meat! So, I (and some of my friends) ordered Spinach Nugget, Quarto Burger, Sweet Potato Cassava, and Lemon Infused Water. I saw the prices were quite expensive, but it doesn't let me down. I'm waiting for the taste.

Seriously, I forgot to take a picture.
We're too hungry for this ball.

     When I ordered, I saw that the waiter was so friendly and relaxed, also he smiled! I saw the waiters gave the menu and answering the questions politely. Also the same thing when they placed our orders. Just nice first impressions. While waiting, I paid the menus and grabbed another food called 'Raw Cacao Balls', which are 12 chocolate balls in a jar. I love the packaging so much. After paid for the whole menu we ordered, I tried the cold Raw Cocoa Balls and I was expecting for chocolate taste. The brown cocoa balls wasn't sweet like a chocolate. Then, I looked the ingredients and.. Ta-daa! Yes, it's sweet dates that made the balls sweet! It also got almond too inside. So, it's just chocolate, dates, and almonds. Also, it's smooth enough, smells not too chocolate, and really makes me want more. The small Raw Cocoa Balls are great! The packing was even made this balls looking good! Nice! I like it, simply. Plus, I red a text in the bottle, saying that if the bottle is brought again, you can get a Rp. 3,000 discount.

Spinach Nugget. Nice!

     I waited quite long and at least, another menu arrives, which is the warm Spinach Nugget! It was six nuggets in a satay form for one plate. It doesn't looked like a nugget, actually. Maybe, the plating is not too crowded, but... Another thing that made me interested! What's the greatness behind this menu, apart from the plating? So, I tried it and... Wait. This delicious nugget... Is... Made... From... Fresh spinach? It's just tasted like crispy nugget! And a surprise,  green spinach (well, they're always green) inside! Not too smelly (I don't smell anything). I feel like, this is just 'nuggets' that are better than nuggets. In my opinion, the taste is just a bit over cooked (very, very bit, near perfection). Next, came the Sweet Potato Cassava. Somehow, my friends are expecting the cassavas are potato with sweet flavor (and weirdly, including me). Well... It's not. It's sweet potato became cassava. A plate of sweet potato chips. Simple and neat plating, but that does not promise the taste. Normal temperature. I tried it. The seasoning are made from Indonesian spices, and it tasted savory. Even without MSG! The purple chips also tasted not too sweet, just like cassava and crispy. Textured like cassava, smells like cassava. Cassava cooking! Not over cooked or under cooked! Oh, is this a cassava replica made of sweet potato? Maybe.

Quarto Burger... Two left.

     Finally, the Quarto Burger! It was a plate of four burgers with different 'meat' tastes. Smells good! The plating is not too interesting, most likely due to the plate itself. However, I saw that the plate also reflects the cafe's concept, vegetarian menus. So I'll say that plating with banana leaves still makes sense and nice. The temperature's normal. I got the spinach (again, I wanted another taste actually) one. The bread was so wheat-ish. All the ingredients are mixing very well, great cooking. Once again, I don't really tasted the organic spinach, just like the Spinach Nugget. I asked my friend that got mushroom healthy burger. She told me that she don't really tasted the fresh mushroom and... She can't simply described the goodness of the burger. I think me too. Hahaha. And oh, wait. The Lemon Infused Water! How can I forget about it? Fun fact, it was the first time I tasted infused water with the fruit inside, which is lemon, in the case. This infused water is a drink with mineral water that had a lemon taste. The refreshing infused water was cold. It tasted like really created from zero! You can taste the sour lemon. The breezing water wasn't even too sour. Perfect amount of water, perfect temperature. I like how do they put the lemon as a decoration. The glass looked clean and... Fitted well with the drink! I really want some more and bring it home, but I forgot. They're are too good for me. Literally.

     The place is clean enough for me, just be aware of flies that probably stopped by your foods or drinks. The cafe was designed like a garden and it feels like the place is a garden! Another thing you should consider, this cafe really makes you go 'out of the box', which I think is the reason to make a garden interior. The 'box' here means the place that probably you always go almost everyday - Cars, malls, offices. They don't offer wi-fi here, so you can feel how good is to be free from wi-fi and refreshed with garden view plus the air conditioner from nature, wind. If you ask me, I feel really happy to enjoy the menu there, it's totally different with other restaurants or cafes.

So, the verdict? A restaurant that is totally worth to visit and try. The expensive price is paid off with how good the menus tasted are. They all didn't have the vegetable taste (most of them), taste like your ordinary foods. The service was satisfying, it was very good. Feel how good life is without wi-fi just for few hours. Feel the breezing wind. What are you waiting for? Come to Burgreens for a new experience of eating!

And oh, a bonus for you! Here, take it.
