Canele Macarons

I have heard alot about macarons from Canele but have yet to try them out. So when i was there, i just bought all their twelve flavours, so i can taste all at one go (i know, i am mad, mad about macarons).

.

Pinks for rose and raspberry - Rose is with buttercream, ok, don't really fancy that. Raspberry seems to pair with raspberry jam? Not too sure, taste like jam to me, very sweet.

Yellows for lemon and passionfruit - Lemon with buttercream, reminds me of the kong guan lemon biscuit. Passionfruit - i love this unusual flavour, it was sweet and tangy. But PK didn't like that at all. He said it taste weird. So i guess this flavour is very subjective, it's either you like it or you don't.

Green for pistachio - with buttercream, very mild pistachio flavour.

Purple for violet - don't know what was that, taste like some flavouring with buttercream.

Browns for chocolate (Guanaja - 70% dark chocolate, feullitine (the one with flakes on top) and coffee ) - All are fine, but my favour was the feullitine, it was very good!

Beiges for salty caramel and praline noisette - i like them both. I like the aroma of the nutty flavour in the praline noisette. I had always like caramel and salty caramel balance out the sweetness. But PK didn't like the salty caramel, he finds it too salty.

Orange for bergamot - taste like just another kon guan to me but in orange flavour.

.

Overall, i think Canale's macarons are nicer than alot of others, because most of them are not too sweet. My favourites are the Passionfruit and feullitine follow by praline and salty caramel.

However, i find their sales strategy is weird. One mac for $2.30, 12 for $28.50 (whereby 12*2.30 is only $27.60). I thought the more you buy, it should be cheaper? Anyway, we are actually paying for the packaging.
