Good afternoon
I can't believe I'm doing another food-related post today. Have been eating a lot I guess :D Heyyyy, don't judge! It's rainy season in Jakarta and Christmas is coming! That's enough reason to EAT A LOT.
Today I would be reviewing the just-opened-a-few-weeks-ago Paul bakery at Pacific Place's Gallery Lafayette. Paul bakery has actually opened in Singapore, America, and other countries, but it's the first time it opened here. So I wanna try. OH I LOVE THE INTERIOR. There's just so many natural lighting and it's the perfect place to take photoes! Unfortunately, I didn't really take a lot of photoes...a lot of selfies with my friends, but no photoes of the interior itself. Excuse my rudeness.
And now LE FOOD!
They serve breakfast menu from 7am-11am. And from 11am onwards, it's lunch menu. I came at 10:30am-ish so HA just in time for brunch. Didn't really pay that much attention to the cakes and macarons. Besides...the macarons cost 60k each piece. No way I'm paying that much for a macaron that might be a little bit bigger than other macarons but still the same. And the cakes are tarts. Not a fan of tarts. Looks good but maybe next time. I'm here for breakfast!
My friends ordered one of the baskets which consists of 4 breads. I forgot the names but there was one butter croissant, one long piece of country bread, one pain au chocolat, and one I-forgot-the-name. They also served it with 2 choices of jam and one butter. Price? 75k.
My friends ordered the avocado juice and cappuccino. I forgot how much the avocado juice costs (I think 40k-ish), cappucino is 45k, and tea is 40k. Oh and you can request some milk/soy milk/low-fat milk for the tea.
The croissants are just superb. I love it. Definitely one of the best bakeries in Jakarta right now. It's hard to find a good croissant nowadays. Oh and if you only want to buy the butter croissant, it's 18k. Other croissants are around 20-30k, but personally I think the prices are reasonable in that area.
On the breakfast menu, I saw sandwiches and croque monsieur. There are also other dishes. All these dishes costs around 80-130k. Quite expensive but the portion is sufficient.
One thing I'm disappointed in though....they don't have hot chocolate. I WANT PAUL'S SIGNATURE CHOCOLATE!! There are 3 types of hot chocolates. One with mocca, one signature, and the other I forgot. The prices are around 45-55k.
I WILL COME BACK for the hot chocolate. And I will come back on a rainy day!
I only skimmed through the lunch menu and the food seems quite normal. Salad, pasta, and other similar choices. The prices are all around 100-200k per dish. I don't think I'll be eating lunch there unless someone said they have really nice lunch dishes.
Well that's pretty much for the food. The service is okay. Clearly they lack of staff which affect the speed of service but the waitresses are friendly. Paul's is located right across Odysseia.
That's basically it for this post. I will update as soon as I get to try their hot chocolate!
Oh and I am currently reading the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I just started the 2nd book and I will most likely review it. Depends on the ending...
Thank you for reading and have a nice day everyone!
Sincerely yours,
