Pierre Hermé Macarons

Chic confectionary at its best, macarons are sweet little meringue-based wonders. For my birthday two years ago, I ordered three pyramids of macarons (120) from Laduree. My friends had serious sugar highs for the rest of the day. My friend, Cindy (who knows all the best places to eat), introduced me to Pierre Hermé and since then, I have been their loyal fan. Personally, I'd rate Laduree 7/10. Pierre Hermé is 9/10.

PH's macarons are creamier and have wonderful texture. They also have very unique flavours. Today I spent the afternoon with the lovely Anisa, and we ordered three different ones: (1) Crème brûlée - Vanilla & Caramel bits; (2) Milk Chocolate and Passionfruit and (3) Salted Butter Caramel. All were delicious!

PH's shop is located on Lowndes Street in Knightsbridge. It is one of my favourite spots in the city, Louboutin is across the street and Herve Leger is a few doors down. They also have a concession in Selfridges.

Mother's day is coming up and PH have beautiful macaron gift sets that would be ideal for all mummies. Visit their website http://www.pierreherme.com/ for more info.
