A dream of mine is to someday travel to
Paris and sample all the gastronomic treasures it has to offer. I am a huge
macaron lover and Paris is like the Mecca of macarons. One place that I am
really keen to visit is the patisserie giant known to the world as Ladurée.
My first attempt to purchase macarons
was a complete failure as the line was too massive! On my second attempt, I was
lucky! A super early lunch was the key. This is what I came across:
 |
| Cafe latte |
I decided to dine in and have a latte
with my macarons just to beat the long takeaway queue.
 |
| Liquorice, pistachio, and salted caramel macarons |
I opted to have the salted caramel,
pistachio and liquorice macarons ($3.20 each). The salted caramel filling had a tiny hint of
salt and was not overly sweet. The pistachio tasted exactly just like a
pistachio nut. I'm not a big fan of liquorice lollies but the only form of
liquorice I'll ever have is in the form of Ladurée's macaron version of it.
Another thing I loved about the macarons
is that the shells are perfect! A slight crisp as you bite into it and the rest
of the shell has a very delicate chewy texture that melts in your mouth.
