Bolu Gulung means Roll-Tart in English and Meranti is the name of bakery that is very famous with its Bolu in Medan. It is located at Jl. Kruing No.2-K Medan (ph) +62 61 4538217

During my work visit in Medan last week, I've managed to dropped by to buy Bolu Meranti and bring it back to Jakarta.

The roll-tart is extraordinary delicious. It is very soft, taste not too sweet and much much more delicious from other roll tart.

I bouht four roll tart and they pack it in one handy cartoon box.

Meranti offer some bolu gulung variant.

There are (1) Bolu Gulung 3in1 : 3 mini roll tart with 3 different flavour in 1 box , only IDR 65K

(2) Bolu Gulung Standard : 1 standard size of roll tart with choices of flavour such as Cheese, Mocca, Strawberry, Pineapple for only IDR 35K and Blueberry for only IDR 40K.

We can also asked to put topping on top of the roll tart, such as : cheese, mestjes and nuts with additional charge. We have to wait for other 15 minutes if we requested to add topping on the roll tart. Because they put the topping based on demand.

The roll tart can stay 3 days outside the fridge + 3 days inside the fridge (total 6 days). It is not recommended to put the roll tart straight to the fridge on the first 3 days, due to change in flavour.

There are other bread varieties in Meranti as shown on the picture bellow. It looks tasty also. Still Roll Tart is the icon of this bakery.
