What is the first thing you think about when it comes to macarons? Its color? Its price? Its brand? Or its taste?
I personally think what makes a macaron stand out from the rest is not because of its beautiful colors but because of its taste and texture. I ain't a macaron fan so I don't really know how to judge whether a macaron is fantastic or not but to me, what really matters is the taste of it. I enjoy macarons that aren't too sweet. 😛
Ladurée.. Its macarons are claimed as the best macarons you could ever find in Paris.
Is it true that these macarons are really that amazing?
I guess I just gotta try it out for myself.
But one thing about these macarons is that it is undeniably expensive. Classical flavoured macarons cost RM12 each whilst the premium flavoured ones are RM18 each. Pop one into your mouth and yeap, RM12 is gone within 30 secs hahaha.
I couldn't believe I have spent RM98 on a box of macarons! Mind you, there were only 6 pieces in it so you can imagine how quick my sis and I could finish them, maybe within 10 minutes? LOL. 😜
It's okay, you do crazy things once in a while in life.
So here am I, proudly presenting you the most expensive macarons I've ever bought in my life! 💥
Sis and I got the macarons in this little Napoleon box (fits 6 macarons).
We chose the blue box.
An array of flavoured macarons to choose from.
As far as I can remember, the ones with edible silver or gold foils on top costed RM18 each, an extra RM6 compared to the ordinary flavoured ones.
Here's what the bag looks like, subtle mint green with its logo on top.
There's the box of macarons!
The box of 6 macarons ✨
From left to right: Raspberry, Marie-Antoinette Tea, Rose petal, Strawberry and cream, Vanilla silver, Gold Chocolate.
Let's begin with Marie-Antoinette tea.
This macaron had a unique flavour which I really couldn't figure out what it was made of. According to one of the websites, this one is made of a blend of black tea, rose petals, citrus fruit and honey flavours. But it wasn't my favourite tbh.
Rose petals.
As literal as the name suggests, it tasted like roses. There's nothing much to it.
Strawberry and cream.
This was our favourite! It tasted very much like strawberry milk. Its filling is made with real vanilla beans (when you look into the cream, you can see specs of vanilla beans in it).
Very pleasing.
Silver vanilla.
Just a basic vanilla macaron with edible silver foil on top but I also liked this one a lot. It has a genuine and fragrant vanilla taste to it. Again, the filling of this macaron is also made with real vanilla beans, just like the strawberry macaron above.
Gold chocolate.
Chocolate macaron with edible gold foil on top and a rich chocolate-y filling. The chocolate filling tasted like expensive dark chocolate with hints of sweetness to it.
Raspberry.
Raspberry macaron with sour raspberry jam filling. The raspberry macaron shells are sweet so the flavours are balanced by the sourness of the raspberry filling.
Macaron flower formation.
Macaron tower!
My thoughts on these macarons
I think they're pretty good! I loved the texture of it, not too crunchy yet not too soft, just right. But it does taste a little bit too sweet for my liking. However, I gotta say I prefer these over the TWG tea macarons. The flavours of these macarons are much more genuine compared to the ones I had in the past. These macarons are best enjoyed with either tea or coffee. Worth the try but I don't think I'm going to get any of these anytime soon again because I don't want to break my wallet hahahaha.
Anyways, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!
Will you give these macarons a try yourself?
