After watching too much Gossip Girl, I decided I really need to try macaroons.Thus, I bought a box from Saint Germain Bakery at Aberdeen Centre. $11/box of 12, or $1.05/1. After eating a couple, sharing with my mom, then I realized I haven’t snapped a picture yet! It is a bit sweet, but I love eating sweets so it didn’t matter. I really liked the lemon one! Zesty and sweet, I’m a sucker for citrus-y desserts.
Pistachio (green) was really good too! Didn’t expect it since I’m not too sure how pistachio flavoured anything tastes like. Not a fan of the chocolate one, as I never really liked chocolate flavoured desserts, for some odd reason. (The chocolate one is not the in the picture since me and my friend ate them before hand. ) It was the sweetest one, but it had a weird sweet aftertaste. I gave the coffee ones to my mom and her coworker, and they both enjoyed it. I probably have to buy a single coffee flavoured one next time so I know how it tastes like!
The strawberry was very yummy as well, tastes like jam inside! Hazelnut was okay, I guess I was hoping it would taste like Kinder’s bueno chocolate or ferrero rocher, but it was off base.
Aren’t they cute though? Multi-flavoured little sweets? I love buying cute little things, even if I have to end up eating them. Unfortunately, you squeeze one a bit too hard and it gets crushed and reduced to crumbs. You can see the strawberry (pink) macaroon cracking.They’re very delicate so be gentle when nomming on one!
Oh did I mention, they’re gluten free! Always a bonus for those who can’t digest food very well (like me.)
Price: 3/5 (Expensive for one little macaroon, but one of the cheaper places)
Taste: 4/5 (A bit too sweet, but nonetheless quite yummy)
Will I Purchase again? Probably, but maybe twice a year or something.
