211. Dessert Couture (Add-on)


Jajang...I finally bought the macarons from Evan.

Take a closer look....so appealing...don't they?

I chose 3 premium flavours, Lavende Vanille, Litchi Rose and Chai Spice.

Lavende vanille


Lavender-infused macarons with honey vanilla bean cream & topped with dried lavender flowers.

Litchi Rose

Rose macarons with juicy lychee bits and scented rose petal cream. finished with a sprinkle of ground rose petals.


Chai Spice


Straits chai tea-infused macarons with cinnamon orange cream & candied orange center.

"Evan, I think your macarons are really good! "


The macaron shells were chewy. I have them chilled and it was more significant on the chewiness. I loved the Litchi Rose and Chai Spice. Very different from what we can get on the market. Compared to Amande's, I think Evan's macarons were very much better. I'm not exaggerating...but I felt the macarons were more well done. All were of the same size and so nicely presented. Needless to say, the taste was thumbs up.

Kudos: I have actually eaten macarons from Laduree a year ago, brought all the way from Paris, Europe. Ya...I agreed with what you have said. Many places are not selling the authentic macarons. I have not tried Canele's before but Obolo's also didn't really strike close resemblance in taste/texture to Laduree's. Many chefs would have want to create something different/unique that was in a way representative of the their baking/innovative skills. I felt Evan's was much better, if you have tried hers.

Btw, luckily an outlet was opened in Tokyo in July! We need not travel a long way to Paris to get Laduree's macarons. Hooray for the foodies! :D

  1. Yea, Evan's macarons are simply one of the best in terms of appearance and the shells. Very much agreed with your comments...

    The only disadvantage is that she sells it in bulk so can't just pick a few and munch.

  5. I didn't enjoy the sausages, no sauce and very salty... the desserts were much better... I am definitely going back for the pork knuckle...

    P.S. I am pretty amused by you calling it as german tikka, when one of the mutton sausages tasted like shish kebab

  6. Evan: Welcome...Good stuffs must be promoted. Haha....

    Fen: I'm more amused when P&P...which is more like a dessert/cafe serves pork knuckle. Well...nothing is impossible. LOL

  9. They were good. The ganache was quite thin. Very chewy. But you can see, theirs were quite different from yours. Their macarons were plain but the taste was everything. LOL....Tokyo is not as far as Europe....at least it's a consolation for foodies...LOL
