What's on Macarons? Tuesday, October 19, 2010

I was so in love with Macarons. Masa mula-mula tengok jer, terus dah suka even tak tahulah sedap ke tak. Nasib tak pregnant, kalau tak mengidam macarons. Now, everyone talk about Macarons. I've been seen macarons dlm Oprah.. I think 2 years back and pray, bilalah Macarons nak ada kat Malaysia nie? And within this year barulah I nampak macarons in Malaysia. Nak kata org lain dah lama know about macarons. Especially those yg suka travel. Of course la, mak nie mana penah travel Europe. Nak pegi asyik tak jadi. Kesudahannya, macarons Malaysia jela yang I bedal. But, it's ok. 

Tapi takpe. Macarons made in Malaysia pun, Macarons jugak. Don't know how the taste in Europe sana.. But I'm sure kalau tengok recipe takkan lari sangat taste dia. It is made from almond flour.. Kalau nak tengok ingredients dia, simple je. Takdelah bahan import apa pelbagai yang nak diimport from Parisss.. kan? But, some of them guna almond yang dikisar. I think this is the reason why it is expensive. Just imagine, 100grams of almond kisar tue, boleh buat 6 shells of macarons. Bersamaan dengan 3 biji macarons lah! Tak ke mahal! And bukan itu saje.. It;s quite tricky to make a perfect macarons tau! Especially for the colors.. Ingat senang? Hahaha.. tak percaya, u all boleh cuba.. Susah! Hish, for me macarons is expensive. Kalau dekat Whisk yg kat Empire Gallery tue tak best! RM2 for a bite size.. tak feel lah! Hiks!

But, some of them cakap macarons ni sedap. Ada jugak yang cakap tak sedap. Ada yang kata bolehlah... Kalau bagi kat orang tua yang ada penyakit kencing manis, haruslah macarons tu dia baling balik kat dinding! But for me, SEDAP! It;s sweet.. Tapi tak boleh makan banyaklah. Kalau makan 2 biji tue pun dah kira banyak. And yang paling unique, texture macarons nie. Hard outside and soft inside. Bila dapat one bite jer, arghh yummy..

Eh, nape cakap pasal Macarons nieh? Sebabnya, all my clients tanya, "Kenapa mahal sgt ek?"

And this is the reason why!
