Paul Boulangerie in Singapore

Finally Paul is now officially in Singapore!

Paul is a french bakeshop/ "boulangerie" which according to its website has been around since  1889. They are famous for their artisan bread painstakingly crafted by hand. 

I used to pass by one in Brussels before on my way to work but could only admire it from inside the tram I was riding. Since most shops closed by 6 PM it was always too late already for us to visit when we come home from work.

The store did not disappoint when we were finally able to visit on one cold weekend. I could still remember the inviting  warm feeling of the store as you enter, offering a cozy refuge from the winter weather and of course the scent of freshly baked breads!

Alas, Paul is here in Singapore and we can again enjoy their breads and pastries! 

The Paul in Takashimaya  (3rd floor, just beside Kinokuniya) also boasts quite a fancy looking tea cafe beside the boulangerie. Looks very dainty and very french hehe. I could imagine people purchasing a book from the nearby bookshop and enjoying some tea and benoitons there. Would be even better though if Paul's restaurant was outdoors (but who knows, maybe in the future?)


I have yet to try the restaurant though so no idea on the price range yet :).

Anyway here's some pictures of my first visit of Paul, Singapore.

Giant Macarons!

I must say though, these giant macarons are a bit too big even for a sweet tooth like me. I suggest instead of buying individual giant macarons purchase the mini ones which comes in a pack of  8 or 10 I think? (sorry forgot to take a picture) in assorted flavors for less than 20SGD. 

Raspberry & Chocolate Macarons

What's left of my Benoiton

Paul's benoitons  are  absolutely yummy! I bought the chocolate wheat and decided I'll have just a small bite since I was on my way to meet a friend for dinner, I ended up eating almost the whole thing! Decided I'll save some for the blog :b

What an uneaten Benoiton would look like :)
