I had my first bite of macarons at La Duree in Paris way back in 1997. Since then I become an avid fan and pledge to try every shop that sells them whenever I travel. The best macarons for me is when the crust is delicately crisp, inside is just sinfully moist and the creamy centre just melts in your mouth. I like it when it stays true to its flavour...no more, no less. Imagine my excitement when I saw the plush pink parlour of Jean-Philippe Darcis' at the Marina Bay Sands!
Chef Darcis holds the lifetime title of Belgian Chocolate Ambassador. He hails from Belgium and owns a string of popular shops in Belgium and Japan. Reputed to be the best macarons in Singapore is now within my reach! This is by far one of the best macarons I ever had! So, what's in the bag? These macarons are sold in boxes of 5 ($15), 8 ($24) and 11 ($30). Since its just hubby & I who will feast on these yummy colorful creations...we decided to get the box of 8.
Our 8 picks are Pistache, Almond Milk, Hazelnut, Raspberry, Chocolat, Passion Chocolat, Nougat & Strawberry. Remember to eat them fresh!
So if by chance you are at the Marina Bay Sands, drop by the shop & treat yourself to a piece or two of macarons or as much as you like! You'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Hopefully Chef Darcis will read my blog and send me a box of macarons.
