HK: Macaron Tasting! (Jan. 2013)
I wanted to try some of Hong Kong’s macarons, so I made my friend go on a short macaron eating tour with me. Here’s how it went!
1.
Le Goûter Bernardaud
(at IFC Mall)
16 HKD per macaron
1. Valrhona chocolate (left)
2. Caramel and fleur de sel (bottom)
3. Pistachio (right)
4. Raspberry (top)
Le Goûter Bernardaud is based in Hong Kong and actually has two locations in IFC Mall; we walked past this one first, so we ate the macarons there. We probably should have gotten macarons at the other location in IFC Mall to see how consistent the macarons are, but we didn’t :(. Oh well!
The texture was off; at times, it was too solid, and it felt like there was too much filling. The flavor was there, though! Overall, I thought LGB had the third-best macarons of the stores we tried today.
Milk Straws Bring All the Boys to the Yard
Stumbled across these intriguing Milk Straws at the grocery store. Apparently you can magically turn your everyday cup of milk into something exquisitely exciting and new, using only a straw filled with beads of flavored sugar. Jeanyus? Probably.
