The first top four and the last four: Mocha, Lemon, Apple, Berry.
Hip Hip Hurray!! finally, i got to taste "macaron". Have heard of this all-time favourite delicacy from many people especially the Singaporeans, but never tasted one myself until recently at a japanese mall in Orchard. Hub would never buy them for me, not only because they are slightly pricey but also sometimes over colourful which is not wise to health (saw some very purplish and reddish ones). He rather buys me cheesecakes, or many tapioca kuihs, but no, not those extreme-coloured macarons. Well, this one is exceptional, because it was on offer (9 pieces for $8) and the colours looked pretty natural except for the yellow and pink ones.
The price, the look said it all. The first bite took my breath away...I love it! Even Hub said they were good! Yes, very good, and now i understand why they were expensive, despite that only egg whites and no fats were used. Not easily made, a good macaron with set feet requires a strict procedure with a number of technical skills. Also troublesome, because whilst you have to make sure your macaron cookies are setting well and have the same sizes, you have to cook and prepare those fillings.
Slightly on the sweet side i admit, but the fillings were so purely done, lemon curd, berry and mocha ganache, and apple jam! I love them so much, i'm going to master the skill of making macarons!!
