My sister is now back in The Philippines, but before she flew back we took her to Paris, France for a short vacation. Of course we are in Paris, will I ever forget macarons, pastries, breads and cakes?! NO WAY!

I bought 6 pieces of macarons from Ladurée. I ditched the beautiful box as it will cost me more euro. Macaron cost €1,90 per pc.
This is the kind of window displays that attracts me.
Seriously if I didn't know Pierre Hermé and didn't see the macarons and chocolate on top of his name I would think this boutique sells expensive bags or shoes lol (well honestly his macarons and chocolates are expensive). Unlike Ladurée's cute pink and green pastel color, Pierre Hermé's boutique doesn't have colorful window displays.
Camera is not allowed inside the boutique. Good thing I managed to snap a few photos while the sales person was busy taking orders from the other customer. Macaron cost €2,10 per pc and to be honest I didn't like it because the shell was to soft and almost soggy and the filling was overly sweet. I'm glad I only bought 4 pieces.
Sadaharu AOKI's Japanese flavor macarons tasted great and it was the cheapest of the 3. Beautiful fusion of Japanese flavors and French style desserts.

Beautiful Art of Sadaharu Aoki.
We had a macaron tasting in our hotel room.
Ladurée: Marie-Antoinette, Rose, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Coconut Guimauve, Orange Blossom
was a little bit disappointed because the sales person gave me 2 pcs of salted caramel macarons. In short I only tried 5 flavors. I love the rose though.
Pierre Hermé: Montebello, Infiniment Chocolat Paineiras, Mogador, Miléna

My sister liked the Montebello. Mogador uhmmm...I find the passion fruit too sour.
Sadaharu AOKI: Sésame noir, Houjicha, Earl grey, Yuzu, Genmaicha, Violette, Wasabi, Matcha

I ordered mostly asian flavoured macarons. They all tasted great. Wasabi is my favorite.
Sliced cake: Matcha azuki Delicious!
In my opinion the best macarons I've eaten was from Ladurée.
