You know there's always that restaurant, that you walk past and you go "wow, looks nice" but you never try it?
Well that was Paul's for us. Now, I think most of you are going "where's this?", but I can assure you, you all have DEFINITELY seen this restaurant before.
It's at the 3rd Floor of Ngee Ann City, beside Kinokuniya. That big restaurant that you can see while taking the escalator up, ringing a bell now? Yep, that's the one. Always gives me the Tai-tai feel kind of restaurant, where I'd expect to see middle aged ladies sipping tea and talking about manicures after a yoga class from California Fitness that's located on the top floor of the same building.
I've heard about it from my chef friend that the pastries are good, but the bread was hard, stale kind of hard.... So we didn't order any of that.

I can imagine that this place, in France, perhaps...? Would be at a little corner by the main road, where customers can sit and enjoy fresh bread and coffee while watching motorists and pedestrians pass by. But we were in Takashimaya, so all I could enjoy really, was people going up and down the escalator.

Yeah yeah, I don't remember the names of the dishes exactly. I would have preferred if the potato was piping hot and crispier... Maybe if filled with a bit of melted cheese too...
I felt that the dish was so-so really, just a new dish experience at best. But the salad was good though, because of the vinaigrette.

For dessert, E and I shared a Lemon Meringue Tart. WOW IT WAS SOUR. It's so sour that my saliva just collected my mouth while thinking of it. Need more of that meringue to sweeten it up.

| My God, it was sour. |
Well, a new experience, it was.
