MACARONS!!

Delicate, Small, Expensive, Decadent, AMAZING.

I'm a HUGE HUGE fan of macarons and with a little exaggeration, i guess you could say i'm obsessed with them. They are the absolute 1 thing i cannot resist!! (especially the salted caramel ones..) they are so so yummy! And Macarons are terribly difficult to make because any single, slightest mistakes.. or sometimes, even things you cant control like the humidity that day, can make your WHOLE batch of macarons fail ): How depressing?

And I guess that's the reason why one tiny little macaroon can be sold for approx $2-$3. Seems like its a really expensive snack right? WRONG cause there are many other expensive snacks out there that, in my opinion, is nowhere near a macaron. Some people pay $1.50 for a piece of chocolate... WHY? when you can pay a little more for these cute, perfect little macarons?

Different people have different tastes and preferences, i guess.. but to me, i place heavy judgement on the filling of the macarons. If its suppose to be salted caramel but the caramel is sweet... *DEHHH* #FAIL. If its suppose to be praline but i only taste chocolate... *DEHHH* #FAIL. Some of you might be thinking that the shell is more important, right? So today let's have a discussion on three brands of macaroons -- Antoinette vs. TWG

First up, Antoinette! Calling out to all those people who are like me, and focus a lot more on the filling than the shell, Antoinette would definitely be the right choice for you! My ultimate favourite Salted Caramel Macarons are from this place and i have yet to find another shop whose filling can win theirs! Priced at $2.50 each, i would say their worth a try! :D


Salted Caramel, Praline, Pistachio

Next, TWG Macarons! Their shells are more unique because they are flavoured with tea. I don't know if its the tea or what, but their shells are also a lot softer than usual Macarons, which i personally don't really enjoy because the shells are suppose to be crispy on the top and soft and chewy on the inside... I really like that special fragrance in their Macarons though! but i still prefer Antoinette's. TWG's macarons are sold at $2 each, slightly cheaper than Antoinette's so, they're still worth a try!


Matcha, Caramel

So that's it folks! just a short little random post on Macarons cause.. Hey i'm a real Macaron fan!! if you haven't noticed how i've been raving over them since the beginning of this post.. hahaha So if you know of any place that serves the best salted caramel Macarons, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share with me!! leave a comment below okay? I really LOVE Macarons and still on the quest to find the best ones! :D

Love love you guys, thanks for reading xx
