Color me Macaron

All of you what do you think of macarons? When I first heard about it, I was thinking 'Is that old people desserts?' Okay not really old people just something from a different time. The first time I was able to take a sweet bite into the macaron, the taste in mouth just made my head tilt. The texture was not spongy but just this shell, later I found out it was an almond cookie. The ganche (I think of it as the cream.) tasted like any other filling.

Enough about the taste. Why are these getting popular? It's foreign, fancy something you don't get to encounter in common grocery stores. Just like tiramisu. (More on tiramisu later in a separate post.)

Of all the treats I could have ate in Little Tokyo (tiramisu..roll cake...) I picked up for myself two macaron. They weren't cheap..no not for those little round things. 'lette macarons was the shop I went to. Was it worth it? For a small snack I did not want to break calories with I would say yes. Would I want tiramisu? Yes of course, but that day I decided to go another route. The flavors there I will say were interesting. Most of my friends were getting chocolate while I chose and unconventional route with lychee and earl grey. The taste I would say you could smell it in your mouth. Would I eat it more? I think macarons are one of those things that are for decoration rather than to eat.

So many colors.

A whole tier.
