I have previously blogged about Les Delices cakes. At that time Les Delices Macarons weren’t yet available. Recently, when I passed by the patisserie, I decided to check out for new products and saw some lovely macarons and SG50 choux.
As the macarons were pretty decent looking with pastel colours, moreover, I have good impression of their cakes so I got hold of a box of 6. Les Delices offers 6 flavours which I tried 5, missing the sesame, though I requested for one each. I was pretty disappointed that the sesame was not in the box, instead 2 lychee macaron was packed.
Macaron Texture and Flavours
Technically, the look of the macaron were almost perfect though there were a few flaws. One of the macaron has a large pocket space and another with feet a little detached. And it was quite lacking in a chewy interior.
Lemon Lime Macaron
The Lemon Lime Macaron isn’t extremely sourish with good balance of sweet and sour factor.
Passionfruit Macaron
The unique Passionfruit fragrance was inadequate. I thought it was a typical citrus macaron.
Lychee Macaron
I don’t taste the Lychee much, instead it was dominated with Rose flavour instead.
Vanilla Bourbon Macaron
Sweet was this macaron with good scent of Vanilla.
Chocolate Macaron
Just another chocolate macaron. Nothing unique.
Verdict
I thought there are room for improvement for Les Delices Macaron. Tweaking to the flavour is essential. The macarons were slightly sweeter though I could accept it. But, a reduction of the sugar level would be perfect.
