One of my missions in life is to eat macarons. I do need to figure out if I'm spelling the word "macaron" properly though...
During my blitz of macaron eating last month, I came across this little counter in The Core food court. There's a special offer for checking in here, but sadly I couldn't use it as it was the weekend. I was instantly attracted to their funky coloured macaron display. Their bright neon coloured macaron shells with contrasting buttercreams were a welcoming change to my usual macarons.
I'm a sucker for packaging. So in my mind it was logical to get enough macarons to fill their cute little pink box (this prevented me from going bankrupted from my first visit). I got a variety of flavours to try out, I don't quite remember the names of all of them though.
Matcha is one of my must get flavours when I try any macaron place. The shell of the macaron had the slightest bit of chew to it, and the buttercream was soft and heavenly. I've never had a macaron with textures quite like it. All the other macarons I've had in yyc have had much firmer buttercream center. The matcha macaron here has a very distinct matcha flavor; a slight bitterness with just a hint of sweet.
The macarons here keep well in the fridge for a day or two, but quickly become crumbly any longer than that. The macarons here are well worth a try, a perfect pick me up during a long day of shopping or even a last minute gift for a special someone.
Looking forward to giving their chocolates a try as well in the future.
