NOT a food blog
I was already in bed when Bald Eagle came home from work. As he reached over to kiss me, I could detect a faint smell of coffee on his breath. To be specific, it smelled like caramel latte. To be even more precise, it smelled like the caramel latte macaron I had just bought from Delectable by Su that evening which I hoped to savour the next day.
“Mmmm….the macaron was good,” he murmured.
“Don’t tell me you ate my macaron,” I said.
“Of course I ate it,” he said, nonchalantly.
“But it’s MY macaron,” I exclaimed.
“Yup, ” he replied.
“My macaron.”
“Uh-huh.”
********
An hour later, I nudged him, trying to call his bluff. “You really ate my macaron?”
“It’s gone now.”
“You ate my macaron,” I sniffled.
“If it were your macaron, dear, you wouldn’t have displayed it in full prominence in the fridge to tempt me,” he explained, as he would to a child.
And with that, the matter was closed.
********
Having tasted several giant macarons from the shop prior to the case of my disappearing macaron, I can attest to the fact that Su’s macarons have a lovely texture; a crisp outer shell and a fudgy centre, with flavours that are not overly cloying. The size, easily 6-7 cm in diameter, allows for more consistency in texture. I do love the lemon raspberry macaron which provides a refreshing contrast in flavours. The salt in the salted chocolate macaron, on the other hand, is a bit undetectable – I would have liked it more had the flavour been more prominent. However, I am unable to comment on the caramel latte macaron thanks to a hungry husband, but I’m hoping he’ll read this and return the favour one day. Soon.

Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Awww…I can’t help but say this: Bald Eagle is so cute! I’m sure he’ll buy one (or two or three) back for you.

I’d lick each macaron in front of him and place it in the fridge, though I doubt that will stop him from chomping down on it 🙂

Hello there,
I have been craving for a decent macaroon for good 4 yrs. (Yes 4 yrs, cos I had pretty bad experience when I had it last time and I just did not want to try any macaroons after that. Macaroons went from my most favourite list to the most hartred list. I am an extremist hehe..) Your post made me get one (actually 2 hehe) and yeahhhhh..
No words to describe how awesome they were. I loved both the salty choc and caramel latte :)))
Worth every penny. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
