When come to tea time, the macaroons with coffee from Paul Bakery is definitely one of my favourite choice of tea time food. Here at Paul Bakery, the restaurant is cosy and comfortable. The service here is definitely very friendly and professional, with lots of greetings and smile from the staffs here. Coffee is very fragrant and not too bitter. As for their macaroons, is crunchy on the outer layer and generous amount of of fresh thick creams are filled in it. Especially like the coconut cream which is very fragrant and delicious. Less than $15 which I paid, is quite reasonable.
I was really excited that the west side of Singapore has become a food heaven especially when one of my fav dessert cafes has opened at Westgate.
While walking back from a shopping/eating trip at IMM, I decided to pop by Paul Bakery. This time I got the Tartelette Citron ($7.30) which is essentially a lemon cream tartlet. The cream on top seems to be made of meringue since it is quite light tasting. Meanwhile the lemon curd that fills the tart inside is super sour. I like the crumbly base as it adds some texture to the whole tart. Overall it is a sweet and sour tart, with the sweet cream and sour lemon curd.
The bakery has a small alfresco dining area for patrons, while there is also a restaurant next to it for customers who are dining in. I think it is a bit different from the Ngee Ann City outlet where dining area for both the patisserie and the restaurant is combined together. However the staffs here were quite friendly and helpful.
I have been meaning to try the desserts and pastries served at Paul Bakery, a French Patisserie after passing by their outlet at Orchard. Luckily Westgate have an outlet too and while I was spoiled for choice on what to get, the staff recommended me to try one of their limited edition pastries which is only available once a year. Tempted I got it though I am not exactly sure what it is.
The pie costs $5.50 and has a crumbly texture. The inside is also has this filling but I was unable to discern what it is made of. The tart is not too sweet and is a nice treat for those who dislike sweet stuffs. The serving is also quite big in which the tart almost filled the entire box.
I always wanted to try Paul Bakery, but their branches are quite faraway. Now they had opened a branch at Westgate, I decided to buy one of their bread to try.
The restaurant is immediately noticeable and certainly stands out with its distinguishable black shop front. With its elegant exterior and refined interior, it certainly gives off an air of class and sophistication!
The bakery is separated from the dine-in restaurant and is located just next to the restaurant. The bakery is for takeaway although there are also a few seats in this area if you want to sit and eat. This was where my mum and I had our afternoon tea at. According to the staff, there is no service charge to eat in this area since it's basically takeaway (they give you the food in takeaway carriers instead of serving them on a plate unless you're dining in the restaurant). Even so, we decided to stick to our decision of eating outside at the bakery instead.
This is because here, you can find the display of their bread, viennoiserie and pâtisserie range across a spectrum of prices such as the Croissant ($2.70), Palmier ($3.60), Pain Chocolat Amandes ($4.20), Chouquettes Fromage ($5.80), Éclairs like the Éclair Vanille ($6.60), as well as Tartelettes like the Tartelette Citron Meringuée ($7.30). I nearly died at the sight of their display counter with all those big eclairs, large tarts, huge macarons.... If it weren't for the staff eyeing us and waiting for our order, I've have been contented just to stand there and take my own sweet time soaking in the lovely sight of all the freshly baked breads, pastries and confection!
Eventually though, we got around to order a few items, which they gave us in takeaway boxes and a carrier bag.
Espresso ($3.50)
Croissant ($2.70)
Pain au Chocolat ($3.00)
Tartelette Chocolat ($6.90)
Pure Jee ($8.88)
