this is not the real photo of the macarons i ate. but the best i can find from the net that looks similarly to those i bought! was really excited to meet loo after such a long while! met her at like 4-ish at wheelock to collect her mac stuffs thn we headed to bt timah area to source for dinner. me, her & benny were sup to cook at loo's house that night! benny suggested buying from swiss butchery at greenwood avenue, as they have readily marinated steaks to take home and instantly cook.
but i thought since we still had time, we can source around further. then, we chanced upon Choupinette! this authentic french bakery located jus next to coronation. it sells a wide variety of breads and french loaves. They also sell cakes in french portions, such as chocate hazelnut, classic cheesecake and so on. I went into the store, and inevitably, a box of macarons of diff flavors were staring at my face. ahhas i just couldnt resist. priced at $1.50 each, i thought it was abit expensive. nonetheless, since i have heard so much about macarons and have yet to try, i decided to give it a shot. i bought the hazelnut, chocolate, mandarin orange & raspberry flavored ones. the hazelnut one tasted abit like fererro rocher, while the chocolate one tasted too sweet. i liked the raspberry one the best. it has a spongy texture of raspberry with a layer of chocolate spread inside. very delightful.
besides selling baked goods, the place also whips up a variety of coffee and tea, as well as sandwiches for people to enjoy dining in. The place has cosy lightings and give customers a homely feel. This will be an excellent place for a lazy sunday brunch.
