According to legend, the macaroon was invented in an Italian monastery in 1792. Later, two Carmelite nuns, hiding in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution, baked and sold macaroons to cover their expenses. They became known as the "Macaroon Sisters." The cookie recipe was supposedly passed on to the Jewish community in France, who subsequently made it a staple of Passover baking. - Wikipedia
Enough of stories about macaroons! Bought a box of Macaroons from a shop in Toa Payoh ( near the station) ! A heartlander shop selling macaroons?! yes..its true and its good! The exterior is sugar coated, the Middle layer is chewy, and the butter cream is not too sweet, perfect! However, not all 5 flavours are fantastic.
Strawberry, Orange, Chocolate, Almond, Kiwi Flavoured?
MyFavourite to least Fav---> Chocolate, Almond, Strawberry, Orange, Kiwi---->
One-bite! and half is gone! Chocolate Best! more macaroonsssssss...
