Laduree Macarons: from Paris to Singapore to Manila

Image
"Are these macarons made of gold?!?" haha! I was aghast at the pricetag after he posted his find on Instagram. Still, my friend granted this delightful indulgence as my pasalubong. Sweet. From the famous streets of Paris to the vibrant city of Singapore: Laduree! French macarons at its finest (so they say). Kinda love purple too... Haha, no surprise  after being subjected to a weekend in Singapore + a night in an airconditioned relief ops center... Colors are still candy-licious and ooooooh.... melts in your mouth! ☺️ A tiny bite on each gives such pleasure! But my, the calories! So I gladly shared, ok?  Never will I buy for myself with that pricetag but then again... Thanks to my super friend, H, for bringing a taste of France home!

a good Paire!

Pair it please with cocktails and mocktails :) Pastries meant to be shared and enjoyed with various drink-up concoctions. Good thing the partners came up with creative partnership of such or I'd be at a loss! Green Tea Temple (Mocktail) - served in a flute glass, light. Mad About Sugar - rich, peanuty-midnight espresso cake and lychee-almond cocktail meant to be taken simultaneously to let the flavors blend and melt in your mouth. Heavenly. Tip: Check-in at Foursquare and you'll get freebies! We got a whole Hungarian Sausage platter with a small bowl of cheesy dip - best paired with beer :) Paire pastries and cocktails Cocoon Hotel, Sct. Tobias cor Sct.
