Ladurée Macaroons

Before I show you the good you must look at this!

3 hard boiled eggs, mashed
2 boiled potatoes, mashed
2 scoops of mayonnaise
pinch of pepper
pinch of dill
pinch of salt
1 avocado, cubed

Glow's eggtatocado sandwich

Has a ring to it.
Non?

Alright behold

Feel free to squee at the myriad of colours while imagining the flavors.

These babies have come a long way from a little patiseries called Ladurée
in Paris and2 transits on their way to Kedah. One of the more famous macaroon shops among the Americans and Japanese, this little box of treasure is worth a tidy sum. The other masters of macaroons is Pierre Herme.

Brings a smile to my face, how about yours?

Recently there's been a boom of macaroon in Malaysia. Yes, despite the mass inflation we Malaysians still know how to indulge in our bourgeoisie side.
And they are not cheap here.
One 20 cent sized macaroon can cost up to RM3 here and a larger more substantial bite would be RM 6.

My guess is the fact that these little buggers are not easy to make. Even the temperature of the surrounding kitchen and it's humidity plays a card in production. That meant, if your making it in a small kitchen and it's raining outside, you're basically done for.

Laduree has 14 brances all over the world! Except Malaysia. The closest one to us is in:

Japan


Evergreen favorite flavors include:

But if you're in luck, you might be able to get these shy seasonal little beauties

It was like playing Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans as we tried to guess the flavors.
Some were an instant know while others,
well let's say we had to sample more to make a correct deduction.
*excuse to eat more*

The only place these little feet will be running is into my mouth!
Noms.

*the feet refers to the crackly, puffed second layer that measures about 1/16-inch high

You can follow them on FB and Twitter HERE for new updates and perhaps "convince" them into opening a shop here =)

P/S: Whats you're flavor?

Waaaahhh Ladurèe! I've successfully made macarons in my small kitchen & I have to admit, these babies are hard to make! Precise measurements, dry ingredients, stability of egg whites & lots more! And yes, they taste best after 2-3 days. Ahh, I feel like making them now!
