Pasirkaliki's Gormeteria

One of my favorite restaurant to visit whenever I fly to Bandung is Gormeteria. Located on the side of Jalan Pasir Kaliki, this particular restaurant is a sight for sore eyes. The interior design of the restaurant is filled with Instagramable corners that you can snap a picture with, and the food here look as beautiful as the restaurant itself, not to mention delicious. 

My first visit to Gormeteria was on the evening. My Captain asked whether or not I’d grab a bite with him and I said yes. Lucky for me, the restaurant is only a few steps away from the hotel I usually stayed at, so I didn’t need any online taxi to get me to the dinning place. Gormeteria is usually fully booked on the weekends. We were lucky enough to get us some seats because the place was packed as it was a Saturday. My Captain personally recommended me the Mille Crepe Cake, so I got the dessert after dinner. 

On my next visit to Bandung, I came back to the restaurant for lunch and ordered the exact same dishes I got when I dined in with my Captain. I opted for the Japanese Crispy Chicken Curry, a glass of Strawberry Smoothie to quench my thirst, and a serving of Thai Tea Mille Crepe Cake for dessert. Now, I know I don’t eat rice, and my main course had some full-on rice in it, but the dish is too delicious not to be eaten with carbs. 

Japanese Crispy Chicken Curry

Consisted of crispy fried chicken filled with melted cheese on a bed of rice, accompanied with a generous amount of curry, then garnished with crispy seaweed, furikake, and fried shallots. Other than the fact that this dish was delicious, it was kind of comforting to say the least. The warmth and the spiciness of the curry was truly enjoyable. It had a quite strong curry flavor, savory and a little bit sweet, and the spiciness was just on point. Although the crispy chicken tasted delicious and amazing, the curry here is the main star, folks. 

The chicken was nicely breaded and fried to perfection. They were sliced, exposing the melted cheese that was just sitting inside the tender chicken fillet. The seasoning was okay, very savory with a hint of spiciness here and there, but it didn’t overpower the flavor of the curry - which is good for me. 

I had to finish my dish slowly because I wanted to savor every flavors that were bursting inside my mouth. I wasn’t going to finish my rice, but the whole dish was just too delicious not to be eaten with rice, I finished the entire thing with nothing left but a few leftover smear of the curry. It was just too good!

Thai Tea Mille Crepe Cake

They have quite the option in terms of Mille Crepe Cake here at Gormeteria, but the MVPs are the Thai Tea and the Milo Dino flavors. On that afternoon, I felt like having the Thai Tea flavored one because I tried the Milo Dino one and it was too sweet for me, despite the fact that I ate the whole thing in just a snap of a finger. The Thai Tea Mille Crepe Cake is orange in color and it is served with a cup of Thai Tea sauce and a spoonful of chewy and sweet boba. Your girl here is not fond of boba, but she sure can make an exception. 

I love the fact that this particular dessert is not as sweet as I imagined it would be. The crepes were thin and tasteless to say the least, while the white cream hidden in between those layers of crepes was the one that gave out the mild sweetness. The texture of the cream was quite fluffy and somewhat foamy, and it was very light. On the one hand, the Thai Tea sauce was mildly sweet as well, and the consistency was not sickening for me. It was thick, yet slightly runny. The signature Thai Tea flavor was very much distinguishable, though, you Thai Tea lovers would love this baby! Oh, and the boba, was delightful. They were chewy and light, and they were not too sweet to begin with, so your girl here got to enjoy the dessert without any guilt whatsoever. 

Milo Dino Mille Crepe Cake

I had this one on the night I dined with my Captain. Between the two flavors, the Milo Dino is his favorite, so her ordered one for me to enjoy with him. Slightly different presentation than the Thai Tea one, this dessert was chocolate in color and it came with a cup of Milo sauce, drizzled with Milo powder and Milo cereal. If you’re a person who’s crazy about Milo, then this baby is your go to. 

Compared to the Thai Tea Mille Crepe Cake, this one was sweeter. Though the thin crepes were a bit savory, I could taste a hint of Milo in its’ cooked batter. Only a small hint. The white cream tasted the same, which was light and sweet. Now, the sauce here is the game changer. I’m quite sure that the basic ingredient of the sauce was Milo powder, which resulted in this dessert being sweeter than the other. I love how the texture of the sauce and the texture of the Milo cereal feel in my mouth, as I like my food to have various texture, but, again, the whole being of the dessert was a bit too sweet for me. 

It has been a while since the last time I visit Bandung. I can’t wait to fly back there and have me some of Gormeteria’s delicious dishes.
