Not sure if its our weather which affects the water and it cause the tarts and bread to taste different or? It was a long hype for Paul's when it first open. Was as excited as everyone else as i heard many raves about it. But the quality compared to the one in France is a big difference.. the fruit tart is dry, the chocolate croissant is not as fluffy as the one in France, the chocolate taste different too. The service wasnt good either.. huge disappointment!

My good friend has treated me a big feast at this posh bakery shop. I actually have quite a high expectation before entering the shop as have been hearing many people say that the desserts here are really nice. My favourite will be their dark chocolate sliced cake which is really full with the thick dark chocolate flavour and the cake texture is very firm and with slight moist in it. Even the price is quite high,but is definitely worth your money.

When they just opened, I saw so many updates from friends on my fb newsfeed. everyone seems to be flocking to try this french bakery.

I concluded that this place is perhaps that kind of place where it's nice to be seen in. Food wise, it's overhyped la.

I have tried paul in paris before, so I was very excited to know that they were coming to Singapore! Visited them to try the macarons which were raved about by friends. I ordered a lemon macaron, the small sized one, and was quite pleased with it. The lemon flavour shone through and was clearly distinguishable. The macaron shell was crisp on the outside and chewy on the interior. However I felt that the ground almonds used could have been abit too coarse as the macaron seemed abit too chewy

Overall, all of us felt that we should dine somewhere else because we didn't feel contented with our meal - considering that is dinner for us. We headed to somewhere else for dessert.

Chicken breast, tomatoes, batavia leaves, mustard mayonnaise, poppy seed bread

And I love all of it!

Especially the poppy seeds.


The chicken breast was juicy.

How do they do it!

It stayed juicy and it was full on flavour.

And the mustard sauce a good complement.

We had two orders of it and they were both good.

The tomatoes though, i wish were sweeter.

It was my friend’s first time to Paul’s bakery and I accompanied her there. I had already eaten so I only ordered a drink while she ordered their mains. I ordered their mocha. It was pretty pricey, I paid $7.50 before GST and service charge for the drink. I must admit that the drink is indeed good. the mocha was really smooth and the flavor was really rich. I like the whipped cream topping as well made it much more creamier. My friend’s main was also a little pricey too, around $20 for a salad.

It coincides with my recent met up with J, when they just launched their new menu. I didn’t expect that I could taste a new set of dishes until it has been announced publicly. Though I am not convinced that it would delight me the way my mum’s version with Pandan, but I am more than happy to give it chance, if not to find out how well they have execute the science of Guestology especially after all the bad reviews by many.

They have been drawing big crowds since the day they opened, which I have never doubt. Despite the lapsed in service, I am still seeing people making beeline at its entrance after peak hours. The main dining hall was bustling with high tea enthusiasts – conversations echoing the room. J suggested we take one of the tables outside the restaurant for a quieter time, much to what I agreed. We managed to get one with the help of a waiter – polite (checked). Without spilt seconds, another waiter came with 2 sets of menu and giving us ample time to decide (checked).

I hold the menu in my hand with great anticipation. Unmistakably, it was given a face-lift with a range of newer creation – still the French classics but now, some with a local twist. New faces includes specialty sandwiches: Pan Bagnat Club (S$16.90); open sandwiches: Salade Crevettes Mangue (S$19.90), Croque Truffade (S$19.90) – a simple toast topped with cheddar cheese, Béchamel sauce, truffles & mushrooms which most suits anyone with a less complicated desire. Then comes the Haute dishes: Hachis Parmentier (S$23.90) - a dish of minced beef/chicken mixed in buttery pureed potatoes and tossed with onions & herbs. The kitchen spent laborious hours on the dish, peeling each hot boiled & roasted potatoes by hand and mashed. You probably may wish to try this high level dish the next time you visit Paul, it looks comforting though less elaborated.

This time, a young lady dropped by to see if we are ready to order which I requested she check on us after a minute which she did so accordingly (checked). During the wait for the meal, glasses of water are served and refilled automatically (checked).

I am most curious to examine this new open sandwich to see if it is capable of spicing up my day. Having learned that the concoction took the team months to perfect, I am hoping that it passed the mark remarkably. Served with a handful of crisp seasonal side greens, this Tartine Poulet Curry (S$17.90) comes with a unique flavor rarely seen in a French bistro. Making a bold change to the regular Poulet Citron in the previous menu; this one has a nice but mild spicy marination. Though I find the coarsely chopped chicken meat a bit chewy and dry, the spices did distract my attention from the less attractive bird. The curry jelled quite well with the cheddar along with the crunchy diced zucchini and tomato, of which, the mass emits a strong and lingering flavor in each mouthful. Overall, the combination is a success for its balanced flavor, without a fierce domination. I was told that it has been well-received by many non-locals for its subtle curry taste. While it tasted good, I feel that the Campagne bread needs less toasting time, to avoid having a hard and edgy crust that bruised my gums. If you ever spotted me tearing – the underlying cause is not the curry, sure thing. But what warms me, is the hospitality that comes from the heart. This has never occurred nor I heard from others who have dined at Paul in the past, but today, I am having waitress coming up to me, asking if the food tastes good (checked).

J was seen enjoying the Pan Bagnat Niçoise (S$16.90) – a specialty sandwich made with Pain de Mie bread using tuna mayonnaise topped with rings of red onion, tomatoes and piling up high with fresh salad leaves and slices of boiled eggs. The burger appeared in its clean defining look, not a messy setup like a drenched American version. Accordingly, it pleases J who is won over by its fresh texture and natural taste, less obscuring. We selfishly eat our own dish, each singing in approval. We have nothing to complain about, if anything, it has to be the dessert.

Prominently pictured under the dessert section, I refused to flip the page, trying to nail down one Pandan treats. J gave a good laugh and left me with the decision rights. Should I point to my left or allow it to swift to the right, my eye ball swinging in pendulum. I had wanted a Pandan eclair but wish badly for the Pandan Millefeuille. J saved me from that ripping agony, chose the French puff pastry on my behalf. In less 5 minute, the Napoleon dessert arrived. My first impression – terrified. I felt intimidated by its unnatural green hue, the icing fondant has been awkwardly fabricated – simply a vanilla glaze. It left me wondering if the dish descriptions in the newspaper are reported correctly – the recipe has a Pandan-infused paste? Erm, we didn’t taste any Pandan flavor throughout, but a stronger gula melaka (palm sugar) custard cream, much to our enjoyment. I liked the puff pastry for its light, crumbly texture though not ultra flaky and stacked up with a thick layer of creamy paste in the middle. The cream is smooth but slightly over-candied and a bit weighed down. Unless you are a fan of gula melaka (palm sugar) treats, the Millefeuille Fraises will be a much better choice.

Undeniably, Paul never failed to charm the crowd with its traditional French cooking when they kept returning for those mouth-watering pies and pretty sweet patisseries. Its hard not to take a second look at them in the bakery window while making my takeaways. It is encouraging to note that for a business that spans 9 generations in history is accepting the notion that palate changes with time and cook closely with trend. With the big improvement in the overall service standard (I have “checked” many applaudable service point), I am sure they will win back some grouchy customers who had abandoned the brand after their first maiden try. I hope the service level will be this good in the new outlet at Ocean Financial Centre (Collyer Quay) which is slated to open in 2013, Q1. There and then, I would entrust myself to them whenever I needed a quick french meal.

After a long day of shopping, I decided to drop by Paul to get a piece of pastry to try it out. I bought the chocolate croissant. I was thinking if the taste of it will be similar to Tiong Bahru or even better. Disappointing. It was cold and non-crispy outside. Perhaps this is not their specialty. The restaurant was full house though. Can try other pastries or cakes if you are there.

I've been wanting to try Paul Bakery but never had the chance to because having bread as dinner doesn't sound appealing. This evening I decided to just try it as there was nothing else that I wanted to eat. One thing to say is this is one expensive plate of salmon and rosti. The base is a flat layer of potato rosti, spread with cream cheese and top off with smoked salmon. The salmon was generous and salty and really satisfying (if you're craving salmon) with the cream cheese and side of spinach

The red berries are really sour, it even leaves a tingling in your teeth. The tart is pretty light, very fragrant. I like the buttery pastry, very crispy yet crumbles when you try to cut it. It was very satisfying.

I like the dressing, a little on the sour side but it coated almost all the vegetables well.

The macarons here are not cheap. I think it was around $6 per piece? But the macarons are also larger than other places in Singapore. I have to say, this is one of the top 3 macarons i've tried in Singapore. Canele's macarons fall way short compared to the macarons here. The macarons here are the right texture and not overly crumbly or fragile. And they take longer than 2 bites to finish. In fact, I could have 1 macaron over 3 sittings! Highly recommended bakery!
