It was hard not to stop at this little macaron shop on our way to lunch in Samcheondong.
I was so very curious to see how Korean macarons compare to Pierre Hermé. Not that you can really compare anything to Pierre Hermé. Ahh, Pierre Hermé.
Everything looked pretty authentique. Nice french-ish packaging, delightful spring-like colors, well behaved rows of rounded shapes, all very Marie-Antoinetty.
Bonjour petit macaron. Here is the cinnamon flavor. It was quite dense, a tad too chewy, and the sweetness overpowered the cinnamon. But this didn't stop me from eating the rose, vanilla and caramel macaron. I predict that in about four years the quality of the Korean macaron will rise to more delicate and subtle levels, and I will document this progress with glee.
