Taste of heaven

Pierre Herme assorted macaroons flew to HK in business class, freshly delivered into my hands. What I like most is the texture - the thin layer of meringue forms a delicate shell, the ruffles on the side tell you these are baked perfectly (the biscuits can only be lifted up without any damage when the ruffles are formed). These are chameleon by nature, adopting different combination of ingredients to accentuate the flavors and tell you what they should be taste like.

From left to right: caramel with fleur de sel, vanilla, pistachio, lemon, rose, chocolate & caramel.
All line up for the photo shoot, ready to be eaten.
Why I like sweets so much? Because it marks a memory, because it makes me happy.
