Laduree

I have been enjoying myself too much and becoming too lazy to blog…

Anyway, long time ago, on graduation day, I went to Laduree with L. and D. Chef C says it is one of the best patisserie in London (but of course, the original shop in Paris is even better). It seems like they were the ones who invented the macaron shell with cream in between version that we see today. http://www.laduree.fr/

And of course, it doesn’t come cheap. 6.40 quid for 100g of macaron (about 5 pieces). I had the pistachio, caramel salt butter, rose and orange. It’s quite nice but I’m really new to macaron and I cannot tell if they are top notch. But the Isaphan (macaron shells with raspberry and lychee cream) is heavenly. The rose, raspberry and lychee flavours linger on your palate and blend so nicely together. A must try!
