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! 

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!

I was telling my cousin that there's not much to view up there because the bay is kind of dark and stuff so what's the point? But since there's a mini amusement park very near the place, I guess you'll be able to see the lights and stuff. Somehow. I don't know. 

Okay so after taking pictures, we then decided to find Tous Le Jours which I just recently discovered is PRONOUNCED as TU-LE-JURU because I was like TU-LE-JU-ing all the time. I would like to apologize to my victims. Hahaha. So when we entered the bakery, we were looking for the macarons and we can't see it so we asked the lady if they have it and she gladly accompanied us to the counter where they are placed. 

They're pretty too. This day is just full of colors. Except the tests I had. I don't know why I even mentioned the test but let's all forget that already. So the MACARONS are available in Chocolate, Green Tea, Vanilla, Mango, and Strawberry respectively. I got all the flavors because I really wanted to try them all. 

And then as we were walking to our way somewhere, I got confused by this and then I asked my cousin to enlighten me and she said that it's a statue of Manny Pacquiao and all other workers daw. And I was like, okay I should have a picture with that. Pero thinking of it now, Manny Pacquiao isn't a profession or something, yeah? Oh well. Nasa gitna pa ha.

We went straight to Starbucks for some drinks and also a place where we could try out the MACARONS we bought earlier. In Starbucks, I ordered their Signature Hot Chocolate which was recommended by my co-intern and it was really nice. I like it.

My cousin got a Mocha Frappuccino which made her shiver as we go home by the way. Hahaha sorreh na. Ikaw kasi eh. It was a tiring but fun day for us. Imagine, I got home at like 11-ish pm already and I still had to attend my duty at 8 am the next day? TOXIC.
