Delightful macarons.. and the not so delightful ones

[[Back to my usual routine]]

I was excited to try the macarons from gobi cause Sam told me about this pastry parlor at the Central. However, let's just say that they were really disappointing to the core. They hardly deserve the title macarons really. Shan't dwell too much on that.

So the very nice day, while J and I were at Robertson Quay, I decided to buy some macarons from Canele after Japanese food at Robataya Yoyogi (I still like the place very much. Unpretentious, simple and authentic Japanese grilled food.) Ok, I digressed. So as I was saying, the macarons at Canele came in a box and they looked beautiful that I almost didn't want to eat them. But being greedy, I couldn't really resist that temptation to indulge in macarons again. I think their best one is the chocolate one though I would pick Pierre Herme any day. How I wish I could fly back to Tokyo for desserts and the vanilla macaron!!Swoonnss.

Guess I have to content myself with macarons from Canele or I should attempt one myself (after I get my kitchen aid mixer.) More updates on macarons next time.

Since my shift to my new place, I have no chance to bake yet. But I cooked a grand total of two times! Yay. More to come, hopefully. J and I managed to whip up a fuss free comfort food dinner- of tomato based pasta and asparagus (one of my favourite vegetables.) After that, it was a night of chilling at timbre. It's such a lovely, laid back place. and I love live music. =)
