Fruit-laden tarts holding court in Pauls window. - SAMUEL ONG /The Star
Popular French bakery chain Paul has opened its first outlet in Kuala Lumpur (May 22). While it seems to be safe from the long queues that have formed at some of its 650 stores in 45 countries worldwide, the Pavilion Elite outlet has nonetheless been buzzing with customers wanting to try some of its famous pastries and breads.
Paul turns 128 this year. It began in 1889 in Croix, in the north of France, with baker Charlemagne Mayot; his son Edmond and his wife Victorine later took over the bakery, and in turn, their daughter Suzanne and her husband Julien Holder, a baker himself.
