Side Note: My Prayers Have Been Answered!


My culinary prayers, that is.

Hurray! Hurray!

While circling The Gardens yesterday afternoon in search for that elusive entrance to the parking lot, I saw several board covers for incoming store tenants into the new mall.

The one 'Coming Soon' that made me leap for joy was Paul! Paul, the ubiquitious French patisserie chain is putting house in The Gardens!

I'm so elated! I'm over the moon because this means I'd be able to savour my favourite dessert - macaron (or macaroon) - in Malaysia!

I know for a fact that the nearest place to relish these colourful gems is in Singapore.

Now that it is available locally, I'd be able to buy them by the hoards (okay, I'm exaggerating).

A heap of thank yous to whomever that is instrumental in bringing Paul to our shore. He or she must be pining for macarons too!

Let's just pray my eyes were not playing tricks on me, or they've decided to pull out last minute. *fingers crossed*

Coffee and macarons, anyone?

Lollies,
Visit you must! I will remind you to drop by Paul :)

Btw, apparently macarons are already available in Bakerzine - I have to check it out!

Faizly,
Thanks for dropping by. I think so too that the Japanese will fall in love with it...
I like Beard Papa's scrumptious cream puffs in Mid-Valley, a Japanese franchise - I wonder if it's still there considering how pricey one puff is.....

Wanted: search for this man photographed sexually abusing children
INTERPOL is seeking the help of the public to try to identify this man, photographed sexually abusing children in a series of images posted on the Internet.
The photos shown here are from a series of around 200 pictures involving 12 different young boys, believed to have been taken in Vietnam and Cambodia in 2002 or 2003.
These pictures have been produced by specialists from Germany’s federal police force, the Bundeskriminalamt, working from originals found on the Internet, which had been digitally altered to disguise the man’s face.
Extensive police efforts worldwide to identify the man have so far failed and Interpol is now enlisting the support of the media and the public to help identify him as a priority.
Anyone with information on his identity or whereabouts should contact their local police or INTERPOL’s Trafficking in Human Beings Unit via email.
