Maison Kayser Macarons

So while my mom and aunt were shopping around Breeze Center, I decided to take my chances and look for macarons. Ding ding ding! Found them!


 Pretty pretty pretty





 MAISON KAYSER MACARONS





 (T-B): PISTACHE, CASSIS, ROSE, CHOCOLAT, THE VERT
All I remember is that I didn't like Cassis.. sjkdhgfasdjhfgaksdg




Back then, I only looked for these two flavors-

 CHOCOLATE





PISTACHIO



I guess that's why they're the only ones I had solo pictures of. -.-

KATHLEEN'S MACARON CRITERIA:

Shell 7/10
It should be smooth and delicate, slightly crispy but not crunchy- fragile like eggshells, it should also be somehow flat and not dome-shaped with no air bubbles nor air pockets. Technically, excessive coloring is a no-no. 

Filling & Flavor 8/10
F&F should be smooth, light and distinctly flavorful. It shouldn't be too sweet or sour as well. Melt in the mouth texture is also a plus!

Aesthetics 8/10 
Shape and size of the macaron, feet and filling ratio.

Value 7.5/10
We all know that macarons aren't easy to do, (and maybe there are even more guidelines that I've yet to read about) so you're technically paying for the labor of the macaron maker. Accept it, pay, then judge if it was worth the money you paid with. (NT$450 for 5 pcs. NT$90 per pc. Mrrp ok)
