Paul, the Patisserie

It would be fair to disclose before hand that I have an incorrigible sweet tooth. ‘Paul’, the French chain which sells desserts across Europe, is my favorite dessert shop and they have two stores in Canary Wharf. The bigger of the two is near the main entrance to the underground shopping mall just near the Jubilee line exit. This is where all the cakes and pasties came from for our office desk-celebrations for birthdays. The smaller one is right outside my office exit to the Jubilee mall, where I get my lunch. This is where my afternoon after-lunch treats come from. I am a fan of their macaroons. And I can never get enough of the chocolate éclairs. Check out their menu here: http://www.paul-uk.com/content/food-patisserie.php

As I was digging into my after-lunch treat today, a young colleague and friend at work noted that in order to stay “competitive” in the market, one must be vigilant. I suppose he is right. Having a salad for lunch and topping with a strawberry cheese cake totally kills the purpose. But I refuse to give up my love and loyalty to Paul.
