Apple ring @ Beard papa sweets

Since Saveur de France closed down, I never got to try the upscale Paris Brest in the end, saw a similar looking one here so ordered it.

The cream inside was custard, very thick and cold. The pastry itself was very crunchy and slightly hard, not choux like at all.
I thought there was nothing special about the Paris Brest, it just tasted like their usual cream puffs but in a bigger form of the cruller ring.

The star of the show was actually the apple ring, it was like an apple danish but in ring form, with evenly distributed pieces apples in the middle, so every bite was an even amount of pastry and apple.

It was evenly glazed and smelt very buttery when heated up. It tasted like Starbucks apple caramel drink.

There is a Beard papa' branch in the UK too, but in central london.
