Breakfast, the most important meal of the day
I love breakfast. It’s a little more difficult to make breakfast for one but I still love breakfast. I always have. I like breakfasts and dinners. Lunches I have less of an affinity for, unless it’s a dim sum lunch with friends.
Starting 2 January, I’ll have less opportunity for breakfast because I’m starting work at Boulangerie Paul which is opening at Ngee Ann City (3rd story). Don’t quote me on when the big opening date is exactly! Even though the work is retail and I’ll be starting from the bottom up, I’ve been given the opportunity to learn pastry and I’m really excited.
To be honest, my mom isn’t exactly thrilled that her daughter is going to be working at a retail shop. Words and more were exchanged last night and I’ve not quite recovered from it yet. I don’t know if I will like it myself but my dad said “you don’t know until you try.” And sure, I’ve failed at a few things in my life already but I feel that I have to try. At the very least, the hard work and operational hours will hopefully take my mind off other things in my life.
My first acquaintance with Paul was in London, at South Kensington meeting a friend years ago if I remember correctly. And then there was Paul in Paris and Lille. Trivia of the day - Paul, as it stands, started off in Lille. I like their lemon and chocolate tarts. Great pâte sucrée, the lemon curd is cooked just enough to ward off the over eggy taste.
The more I think about it, hell yeah. The more excited I am about it.
Bonjour to a new day and a great start to the new year.
PS: if you’re reading this,I had wanted to tell you earlier. But I couldn’t so I’m telling you now.
