GGB Bistro Bar & Cafe ('GGB'), is the F&B establishment owned
by the same shareholder of Go Go Bambini. The idea is to provide a
place for parents to relax while the kids having their activities in
the kids playground next door and for children Birthday parties.
We actually find this place by accident. Looking for something
different for lunch, we found this quiet cafe in the middle of
Dempsey. From the parking lot, you will not notice that it has any
relations with the Go Go Bambini, until you step into the indoor
dining area. From here you can see the connecting door to the indoor
playground. Even if you need to use the restroom, you need to go
through indoor playground section.

For a quick meal, we both decided to go for burger. LD ordered the
Mushroom Burger ($16.90), while I ordered Ultimate Pork Burger
($12.90).
While we are waiting for our burgers, we were served thick white
bread, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Hmm, this is a positive
sign. The appetizer seems sophisticated. The bread is thick and dense
in texture, and it works well as a sponge to absorb the olive oil and
balsamic vinegar. A good appetizer and looking forward for more to
come.

It took
about about 10 mins before the burger arrived. Served on a wooden
plank, accompany with fries, it was jaw dropping awesome. Nice
presentation, very tall and looks appetizing. The bread is crisp and
not soggy. The portabello mushroom is thick and juicy. It has a nice
flavour and the double fried fries is crispy, yet moist inside.

The pork
burger is really the ultimate. You got two stack, where the bottom
stack consist of bacon, pork patties, pull pork and cheese. Of
course it will be better if you have pork belly, but where can you
fit all of it. Each different type of pork has its own unique flavour
and the presentation is superb. The top stack consist of tomatoes
and fresh greens. This burger is even taller compare to the mushroom
burger and I had a hard time holding it and even finishing it. Its
gigantic.

Although
it was a quiet afternoon, it was really hard to get the attention of
the service staff. But not to worry, the design of the place allow
you to do some self service. If you need anything, you can get it
from the centre bench, including plates, napkins, ketchup, chilli
sauce, water and others.

Overall,
GGB Bistro is really a surprise find. While it is common for similar
establishment to neglect the food, GGB Bistro excel in this area. The
owner really did a good job to hire a great chef to come out with the
menu in the bistro. Their burger is comparable to any specialised
burger joint in Singapore. Kudos to them and I hope they keep it up.
Cheers!
