PAUL - French bakery company with more than 120 years of savoir-faire. It is touted to be the leader in authentic French pastries offering unmatched quality of sweet patisserie using all real cream. Our expectation was definitely raised after reading about this French Patisserie. We ordered their canele and a butter cream pastry for take-away.

Canele @$3.50
Canele is a small cake with dark, thick caramelized crust and soft centre. The name Canele came from the little fluted copper mould in which it is baked.
This canele is flavoured with vanilla and rum. I would not describe it as soft and tender custard center but something chewy like Nonya kueh Bingka Ubi or Indonesia honeycomb cake. The rum is quite distinct and the caramelized crust was quite nice as well. However, $3.50 for such a small piece of honeycomb cake like canele is a bit expensive.Not sure what's the name of this pastry as the tags were all mixed up. Only get to know that it is some butter cream pastry from the salesperson. It doesn't taste as good as it looks. Neither soft cake nor fluffy crispy puff, cream was nothing special as well. We didn't continue after 2 bites. Perhaps its just because we kept it overnight in the fridge.
Maybe we will try some other pastry fresh at the restaurant next time.
