If you’ve been familiar with the east side of Grand Indonesia, then you might have noticed where Nomz is located. Some of you might have ever seen the ‘coming soon’ sign or even have been waiting for it. However, I believe there are still so many people who are actually clueless where this recently hip restaurant actually resides. If you happen to know Union Deli, another ‘happening’ new restaurant, Nomz is right across it. If you still have no idea, where both of them are located, you needn’t worry as I will direct you. It’s very easy to find Nomz since you just need to go to the east side of Grand Indonesia, then you can access Nomz through Central department store. Other existing restaurants at the east side, which you must have been familiar with, are Paulaner, Kempi Deli, or Social House. Or simply said, it’s the side where the huge H&M store is located :)
The venue is quite spacious with very attractive design. I really love the concept of providing both indoor and ‘outdoor’ space. Why I call it ‘outdoor’? Yes, because actually it’s still an indoor area, but you feel as if you’re eating outdoor since it’s not covered by walls and you can see all the pass-byers. Moreover, there are big windows and artificial plants decorating the walls that separate the indoor and the ‘outdoor’ area. They just deliver better ambiance of the real open-air one.
Not only pleasing me with the uniquely designed venue, Nomz also delighted me with its first-class service. Right at the time my friends and I reached the restaurant, we were immediately welcomed by the friendly greeting from the well-known Chef Arnold Po. He then directly asked the waiter to prepare a table for us and started a light conversation with us while we were waiting for our table to be ready. As we took a look at the cakes displayed, the waiter assisted us on making our order by explaining the ingredients of each of them.
Salted Caramel Éclair (IDR 38k)
Looking at all the éclair variants, we were totally confused which one should be picked as we wish our tummy could afford all of them. Having starred at the various choices for awhile, we ended up ordering Nomz’ Salted Caramel Éclair. The cute spoon-shaped chocolate has successfully created a highly engaging presentation. The texture of the éclair was so moist and the abundant salted caramel filling was definitely heart-stealing!
Nomffin
One of the most unique desserts among all was this Nomffin. If I might make a wild guess, I would say Nomffin stand for Nomz Muffin. Basically, it was a muffin coming in the texture of croissant, so it was flaky instead of spongy like common muffin. For me, it was a brilliant idea, whose taste I really enjoyed. The generous chocolate custard filling made this innovative dessert became one of the must-try from Nomz!
For all chocolate addicts out there, beware as this one would cause you an impact, which was clearly mentioned in its name, yes ADDICTION. Composed of various chocolate components, from mousse to glazing, not much thing could be said but I surely believed that any chocolate fanatic would be more than drooling when looking at this one. One great thing about this cake, though it was so so chocolatey, the sweetness level was precise as you could find the touch of dark chocolate in it.
Alice in Nom Land (IDR 40k)
The name of this cake impeccably reflected its presentation. Same as Alice in the movie of Alice in Wonderland, this cake was so gorgeous in its quite simple appearance. If you were the ones who preferred cheesecake with mild cheese taste, this cake might perfectly suit you. Besides, the strawberry jelly also gave a slight refreshing touch to the cake. Not to forget, the cookie crumble as the base, which served as a perfect complement to the soft texture of the creamy cheesecake itself. Yumm!
Rasp Be Merry (IDR 45k)
I did not know whether this one was only a seasonal edition, which was made for Christmas or it was a permanent one. But if it was indeed a temporarily available one, you gotta try it as soon as possible. Yes, you should not miss it! Bringing the combination of slightly sour and moist raspberry mousse with sweet and salty salted caramel on top of the crunchy Pâte Sucrée, this cake has successfully pampered my taste bud with not only rich blend of flavors, but also rich mixture of textures.
Urban Geisha (IDR 48k)
The saying of ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ was indeed applicable for Urban Geisha. Dressed in white, it might be not that photogenic, but when it came to taste, it was BEST OF THE BEST!! The major ingredient of vanilla mousse was exquisitely blended with the layers of green tea castella, crunchy speculoos, and strawberry jelly. Not over-exaggerating, but once it entered your mouth, it would melt straightaway and indulge you with the blissful taste! Don’t say that you’ve dined in Nomz when you haven’t had this one :p
In a nutshell, I was beyond satisfied with my dining experience in Nomz. Every single key aspect a restaurant might provide for the guests – taste, place, service, and price – is flawlessly delivered here. I will doubtlessly go back to try their tempting savory dishes.
Taste: 9/10
Place: 9/10
Service: 9.5/10
