Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie Macarons review
I really really love macarons and I heard so many people talked about this soft macarons from Canele. I agree with them that their macarons are soft in the texture yet crunchy and just melted in your mouth. I bought another one box consist of 6 pieces and this time only for myself so that I can reviewed them one by one. They have many flavor more than 6 actually but different branch has different flavor. As example when I went to their branch at Shaw House, I did not see the vanilla flavor there. And when I went to their branch at Raffles City, I couldn't find the Pistachio flavor. So It really depends on your luck. hahaha
Here I will reviews 6 of the flavor that I tried in this box. I will update this post once I get to try the rest of their flavor.
The first macaron that I tried is Violette. They named it violette, cause it has violet flower cream inside. The smell of this macaron is very fragrant, especially after I bite it. The taste are slightly sweet and creamy. I will put this macaron as an optional choice.
This is the look of the macaron from the top. There is no additional topping on it.
The second macaron is Yuzu & Yogurt. Yuzu is a fruit from Japanese and it looks like a lemon. Although I have not see or hold them closely, but according to wikipedia, We can use the zest as a garnish or the juice to seasoning. It has the same function as lemon. When I ate this at the first time I can smell the citrus fragrance and the filling is melted in my hand eventhough I did not pressed it. Later on when I read in Canele website that this macaron is complimented with citrus yoghurt. Again I will put this macaron as an optional when I tempt to buy their macaron again. The store helper actually recommend this flavor than rose which I have no chance to tried it this time.
The look from the top. It is the same with the previous macaron that has no additional topping.
The third macaron is like heaven in my mouth. I've tried it twice and I am still fall in love. The chocolate flavor is like stuck in my mind and makes me want to eat more. The chocolate is rich and I can taste the dark chocolate but it is not bitter. They use Valrhona chocolate which is a French luxury chocolate and it is actually selected as the number one choice for leading pastry chefs and connoisseurs. That sounds interesting. I personally also never tried this chocolate alone. To be exact that they use 70% Valrhona coated with Guanaja chocolate cream which is written in their website. I absolutely loves this macaron and will definitely put in my first choice. Or maybe I will buy two pieces of them.
As you can see they coated on top of the macaron with a chocolate powder.
The fourth macaron was Vanilla macaron. Nothing special on this flavor. This is Vanilla macaron paired with fragrant Tahitian vanilla cream. Unexpectedly I can taste a litle bit of coconut flakes inside the macarons. But in their website they do not specified that they have use the coconut in their macaron. Maybe next time I will verify it with the store helper and update it in here.
For the next purchase I will not add this flavor in my list. I would rather choose other flavor instead.
The look from top. There is no topping on top of the macaron.
This flavor was the popular macaron among all. Many people always recommend to choose this flavor to try. So I just curious on how good is the taste. The name of this macaron is Fleur De Sel Caramel. Fleur De Sel is French language means 'Flower of Salt'. This salt is produce by artisan salt company and Canele paired it with caramel to create a perfect combination. The salt is acclaimed by many chefs as the best of all sea salt and good for finishing.
The caramel cream taste is so stand out and combine with a little bit salty taste from the macaron. I really surprised that I can try macaron that has salty flavor on it. The combination is perfect for me and definitely will add this flavor on my next purchase.
This is the look of the Fleur De Sel Caramel from top. I guess that they also powdered the cocoa powder on top of it.
The last macaron that I tried was Feuilletine. This macaron is using only Valrhona chocolate Caraibe with only 66% cacao combine with hazelnut praline. I can taste the crunchiness of the hazelnut. I feel like eating a cookies crunch. But still the chocolate noir macaron is the best for me. Feuilletine tasted more like milk chocolate.
Nuts are added on top of the macaron.
Must-tries: Chocolate Noir. Fleur De Sel Caramel.
Price : 2.50 per piece, 12.50 for a box of 6
