Galler Chocolat-The
Where we were seated
We recently had lunch in Galler Chocolat-The. It’s not just the choco offering that brought me here (allegedly there are 365 kinds of chocolates in store), but also because it’s strategically situated. In Marina Mall, I think it got one of the nicest corners aside from La Brioche and the stairway restos Colombiano and Xpress Cafe.
Taken from our seats
While waiting for the food, it was entertaining to see how many people (and watching their beams) posed with this golden fish. I actually had my photo taken there also during my first month here.
The pricey grilled salmon
We both ordered grilled salmon. I don’t normally ‘copy’ orders, but there’s a limited selection of dishes with rice. I was too hungry and originally asked for mushrooms but I don’t think I can manage the dark rice with it. This grilled salmon was good enough to fill in my grumbling tummy, but there was nothing so special about it. Served with onion, tomato and sweet pork choy (pechay). So I found it real pricey. I’m assuming it’s either because there’s no much source of salmon nearby or I happened to have high standards of comparing it against salmon dishes back home especially those in General Santos (GenSan) and Davao.
Iced chocolate and fresh mango juice
Forget the fresh mango juice, it won’t satisfy you if you’re a true blooded Philippine mango lover. Iced chocolate is a must-try, that’s when the Galler mark comes in.
Homemade crepe with Galler dark chocolate syrup and fresh cream
This is the highlight of our meal. The moment I saw the crepes I thought of Pancake House (I terribly miss!). So far, the best crepe I’ve tasted in UAE! I asked the staff where I can get the ingredients to make something as smooth and soft like theirs, it’s homemade in Galler. And of course, the most integral part of this yummy crepe is the belgian dark chocolate syrup.
I want more!
Blend your own. Now I know where to run when I want to enjoy crepes. I promise I’ll have this again this weekend.
Galler Chocolat-The is at the Ground Level of Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi.
that’s an interesting way to serve and eat a crepe. the one i’m used to is when they wrap the chocolate inside like a spring roll. my favorite filling is Nutella =). yours looked so good, it’s 4 PM here and i’m kind of hungry already. we’ll see if i could get out of work early. one of my coworkers is really bothering…grrr.
Nutella and durian fillings are my fave. Well, I have a number of kaasar officemates, too. Patience, patience.
Oh these look so so yummy!! I am a big big lover of chocolate and to go to a place that serves over 300 types – heaven!! Thanks for your comment on my blog! Have a lovely weekend!
alihsees last blog post..i put my hope in You.
I had a chocolate crepe last summer in Orange Bistro here in Gensan, but they were not as yummy as that thing looks in yours. Btw, you mentioned you have been to Marbel, from where originally are you if I may ask, teeehee, maybe we can find some time to meet up when you get the chance to come back here in the Phils.

@Ahlisee: The 365 types of chocos is a big come-on. That’s like one choco per day.
@Sheng: I grew up in Laguna and spent life in Manila and Makati since I went to college. I’ve been to Marbel when I was still in one of my previous offices. I spent a month in Davao, two weeks in GenSan and a week in Marbel. All work-related plus the sidetrips during weekends. I enjoyed being in the south. I’ll let you know if I’d ever be there again.
hmmm… yummy… how i wish i can enjoy an abu dhabi series of my DESTINATION: DINING.
sigh. ^_^
