From outside the shop looking at their display, there were few flavours of macarons, but i guess options don't matter if they are well-executed macarons. I decided to try two this time, to avoid the sickly-sweet disappointment.Chocolate MacaronThis fared better than LGB. texturally (slightly chewier and not just 'crunch') and taste-wise. It had a dark chocolate ganache as filling, and because cocoa was probably used in the macaron shell it also reduced the sweetness of the almond/egg-white merin

Raspberry Macaron
This was quite a disappointment. Whilst it was like what the lady in the shop said - 'a little sour', i couldn't make out the taste of raspberry....it wasn't bad, but after eating the chocolate one this was a disappointment. The filling was also the chocolate ganache as above, but it just didn't work as well here.
Overall the flavours here were quite......uninspiring. At 20 for each I guess I was expecting a little more excitement?
The people here were polite and professional, would come back to try their pastries =)
