Haven't had these in a long time! After three doses of the 'original' flavours.. it's time to try the summer ones before they're gone! From back to front:1. Veloute Framboise - Yoghurt & RaspberryThis is pretty similar to the Veloute Ispahan, but of course minus the hints of rose. These yoghurt flavoured macarons are less sweet (on the edge of being abit sour), but still delicious. The ganache is creamy and milky, and slighlty acidic from the raspberry placed in the centre.2. Veloute Citron Vert
1. Veloute Framboise - Yoghurt & Raspberry
This is pretty similar to the Veloute Ispahan, but of course minus the hints of rose. These yoghurt flavoured macarons are less sweet (on the edge of being abit sour), but still delicious. The ganache is creamy and milky, and slighlty acidic from the raspberry placed in the centre.
This is my favourite out of the 4 yoghurt ones. The citrus flavour goes well with the slightly sour 'yoghurt' ganache. Probably the easiest to accept because you expect it to be sour anyway!
3. Veloute Banane - Yoghurt & Banana
Personally I'm not a fan of banana flavoured things.. except maybe the fruit itself.
4. Veloute Ispahan - Yoghurt & Rose, Litchi, Raspberry
At first I thought this was the raspberry one.. but immediately after biting into the macaron, I could taste the hints of rose. This was delicious, and since Ispahan is a house signature it won't disappoint.
5. Jardin Merveilleux - Mandarin Orange Olive Oil & Cucumber Water
I think only Pierre Herme could come up with these bold and unusual flavours for his macarons. Before taking a bite of this, I had no idea what a cucumber flavoured macaron could taste like. Surprisingly orange and cucumber go well together, and one flavour doesn't overpower the other. The cucumber taste was very fresh, whilst the orange flavour was acidic. The olive oil was based in the ganache, but I was abit disappointed that I couldn't taste more of it. (I miss their olive oil and vanilla macarons. SO good)
6. Envie - Vanilla, Violet & Blackcurrant
This was my favourite out of the box. A simple yet delicious combination. I think vanilla flavoured macarons from PH are amazing in general. I like the blackcurrant in the middle of the ganache, as it enhances the flavour of the macaron.
I remember I had a Lemon macaron from PH in London, and somehow it shrunk after a day..? Luckily for me this macaron did not change shape in anyway when I ate it the day after. The flaky hazelnut added texture to the macaron.
Word of advice, make sure you put these in the fridge, otherwise the humidity and heat in Hong Kong makes the biscuit turn soft and the ganache may melt.
ALSO I hope they'll soon change their policy so that macarons could be purchased by piece. I think I would buy them more often if that's the case.. since two or three already hit the spot.
