After a sumptuous dinner at Ming Room @ Bangsar Shopping Complex to celebrate mom and dad’s 49th wedding anniversary last night, hubs went shopping for desserts, though we’d just scarfed down so much delish food with dessert of half the anniversary cake, longevity pau and white fungus longan dessert just a moment ago!<\/p>\n

Our first stop was at\u00a0Ladur\u00e9e, a patisserie specializing in macarons.\u00a0Ladur\u00e9e has been in\u00a0 existence in Paris for over 150 years.\u00a0 The macarons from\u00a0Ladur\u00e9e @ BSC are fully imported from Paris, thus the jaw-dropping price tag.\u00a0 Hubs paid RM48 for 4 macarons. The gold colored ones come with a RM20+ price tag!<\/p>\n

None of us are fans of macarons as we find them too sweet and cloy for our liking.\u00a0 Besides the sugar, the bright food coloring is OMG!\u00a0 I was trying my best to stop the hubs from buying something that no one likes and has no nutritional value. But he was intent in getting the best French macarons for us to try and good thing he did as everyone liked them!<\/p>\n

The outer shells of the airy meringue sandwiches were smooth and crisp, and the inner fillings were a variety of fluffy creams, jams, and ganaches with ground almond in every bite. The texture of the macarons was wonderful, and like nothing we have ever tasted before.<\/p>\n
