All these yelpers talking about macarons and how great they are.. I decided to give it a try!
I have been in Time Square a few times, Ruelo never seems to open when I was there! There are no sign of business hours displayed so I don't know when they are open.
Finally my patience paid off. After having a quick lunch around 12:30 pm and I walked by the dark looking store, a girl just came out and unknocked the door. I was jumping for joy.. I think I freaked her out.. how can someone be so hyper and excited even before eating all these sweets!
There are fortunately or unfortunately only have 5 favours of their famous macarons in the displayed case. I decide to pick up 4 of the favours expresso, chocolate, raspberry and lychee each. The girl behind the counter was a little confused about which favour is which and she was looking at the chart...... hmmm
BTW, they are not cheap! $2.25/$2.50 each depends on the favour. The taste is so rich! A little too sweet for my taste, but it will go well with coffee without sugar or dark tea!
I have to say I enjoy the Lychee favour the best! Maybe it is not as sweet and heavy as the chocolate one!
I will definitely be back to pick up more macarons and try out other favours (wasabi??)! And not to think about calories!
Ruelo is definitely a nice little cake shop to satisfy your sweet teeth!
