Not just any game of chess.... tonight we are playing macaron chess..
The stakes are high. The winner takes it all. Game ON!
Macaron chess... what a colorful board!
We discovered these macarons by chance when we were shopping in Marks & Spencer in Union Square, Scotland. After getting our food souvenirs/gifts/last minute food we wanted to eat, Hubby saw a box of 12 mini macarons (ok they spelt it macaroons but I hate that spelling so I'm gonna correct it and call it macarons!) - each box comes with 5 different flavours, namely pistachio, lemon, raspberry, vanilla +strawberry and passion fruit. According to the packaging, these are made in France.
To be honest, macarons from a supermarket is unheard of in KL, so we did not really have high expectations. But these macarons turned out to be pretty good - they all had a nice crisp yet airy texture and the fillings all tasted nice too, especially the passion fruit and other citrusy flavours. Sweet, yes, but I guess that's how macarons are. If I knew these were gonna be so good, I would have bought more (maybe even bring some home for my mum in KL) but too bad we had to catch an early flight the next morning.
