French Macarons

When I say macarons, most people start thinking that I am mispronouncing a dingy little coconut-sprinkled cupcake.

I digress. I say macarons because I am not talking about macaroons. Much as I love the flavor of coconut, macaroons do not appeal to me.

Now when I talk about macarons and go dreamy-eyed, I am most probably, if not certainly, talking about French macarons. Good macarons are admittedly difficult to find. My go-to place for these here in Manila is Bizu. They have a permittably wide range of flavors--I think they even have rose macarons with chocolate-hazelnut spread in between.

Heaven.

Plus, it's such a girly girly food! And it's something you have to take time devouring. Each bite will fill your mouth with happiness. I. Swear.
