French Baker's Macarons Review

French Baker's Macarons Review

I have told you before that I was a little bit disappointed on Macarons that I have so far tasted. Well actually, I have only tasted one and not impressive at all. And I was like, I'm not gonna give up on these colorful babies and would give it another try. Here's my verdict for the second attempt.


I got these Macarons from another familiar bakery in town. French Bakery. I have mixed feelings about this store actually. I mean, it's just that I don't really like breads all that much and the one I've tasted from this store didn't really impress me all that much so yeah. And the reviews I've seen listed Tous Les Jours' macarons above this one so I was like, there can't be anything worse than that! LOL. Just kidding. But really though thinking about it now, their macarons were pretty bad. 


You know me! These details just made me wanna cry! LOL. But I must say that their illustration is very well made. Love! I hope to live on that house where the girl stands. Must be very magical there! 


Verdict you ask? Well. It could be worse. I mean, just like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, there are good and bad flavors. And if in doubt, you can always trust brown coloured deserts. I think that's all I've enjoyed. The pinks were the foul ones and the green which I bet is Pistachio is kind of foul too but I partly like it. And the orange one was kind of okay. Definitely zesty so might have been some choco drizzled orange or something. Just a disclaimer, I don't know the official flavours of these macarons. I wish I knew. As a conclusion, nothing worse than the pinks. They taste oh so fake. One more try (from another store) and I would really give up on the pinks. Okay that's all guys!

Tous Le Jours Macarons. Food Review.

Tous Le Jours Macarons. Food Review.

You know that I craved for Macarons last time but I didn't review them so I will here. You know. But I mentioned that their flavors are Chocolate, Green Tea, Vanilla, Mango, and Strawberry respectively.


I am actually assuming that they just have 5 flavors available because of the packaging. And since there's only one Green Tea Macaron left, my cousin just got 4 and for some reason, they didn't place it in this package which I think is really unfair, unwise, and all. They placed it in a paper bag which is like questionable for me. And when we opened it at Starbucks, some of the shells came off already. 


Basically they all taste alright except for one. MANGO!

So let me start with this thing okay? I actually ate the Green Tea first because I'm most curious with this. I mean, it's either it's so good that only one is left or it's not good so it's just a left over from the previous day or two. Who knows? When I tasted it, it's actually kind of good. But not really that "good" it's pretty normal.

The next flavor I tasted was Mango. It was bad. I mean, whoever thought of that flavor is probably sleepy or something. It's obvious that the thing is artificially flavored and it's just so sweet. And I agree with my cousin when she said that it actually taste like candy. Which is not the best way to go. No likey.

I tasted Vanilla next which I think was a neutralizer. I appreciated it very much. I got confused though because I didn't understand the flavor. I don't know if I liked it or not.

Then comes Strawberry. Which is probably my favorite! It's like, good. And it's that kind of "good" I was so happy with it. Me likey.

And lastly, Chocolate which I didn't appreciate that much because I was drinking a chocolate drink so I really can't taste it that much. But I think it's nothing foul or something because you know, I probably should have known. That's all! :)
