Paris Mikki at CentralWorld (Bangkok, THAILAND) ★★★★☆

In 2019, I was looking all over Bangkok for some of the most authentic French pastries in town. After months of online research and a full week of running away the city, I finally ran into Paris Mikki.

Now with 13 branches (and counting) around Bangkok, Paris Mikki is the brainchild of owner-chef Carol Boosaba, an Angelina and Ladurée alumni who has more than a decade of experience baking the traditional French way. I decided to re-visit this branch in CentralWorld after a span of five years.

Despite all the mixed reviews about Paris Mikki's creations, this café remained one of the most popular eateries in the bustling CentralWorld.

Lady Pinske (฿322) – We had this when we were here in 2019 and back then, it cost just 190 Baht!

The raspberry compote and gelée were beautifully matched with a silky, delectable lychee mousse while the almond dacquoise provided some crunchy texture to the mix. Nice to have this again after five years.

Basque Cheesecake (฿275) – Very light, airy and creamy in the middle, according to cheesecake specialist, my little nugget!

Copa Cabana (฿275) – Following the lychee-raspberry marriage, here comes the timeless combination of coconut and strawberry.

The well-executed coconut mousse cake came with a centre of runny strawberry compote for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity, while the exterior of shaved coconut provided a surface of crunch and slightly chewy texture for a well-rounded finish.
