Guess the French will always be proud of their cuisine, well, shouldn't they? At least I think they should be superbly proud with their MARACOONS! This little colourful sweet thing is just innocently beautiful and even a cold-hearted people like me will have an unexplainable soft spot for it.
Found the most beautiful Macaroons in CANELÉ Singapore last month, they were like, Angels, yeah, angels without wings but they are no doubt adorable. Each in a petite size of merely 5 cm in diameter, and comes in 12 different colours and flavours. I grabbed a dozen of different flavours, in purple, pink, white, beige, brown, orange, green... all being neatly arranged in the box. Trust me, it's the prettiest thing I have ever seen.
CANELÉ Pâtisserie Chocolaterie in Paragon, Singapore.
These little angels, aren't they wonderful?
Macaroons like these speak thousand words.
A huge array of desserts available at CANELÉ.
The much celebrated GODIVA under the Valiram Group in KL Pavilion does offer macaroons as well - gigantic pistachio macaroons with heavenly chocolate in the center. Well, it tastes good but doesn't look as great as the petite macaroons from CANELÉ.
The pistachio macaroon from GODIVA cafe, KL Pavilion. It is huge, almost the size of a doughnut...
The chocolate in the centre is sinful, a perfect balance between dark and milk chocolate...
When I saw the photo I snapped in CANELÉ, I told myself, I will melt for someone who will buy me macaroons like that but sad thing happened thereafter though. So if anyone of you happened to know any place in KL that sells beautiful macaroons like those from CANELÉ, do let me know :)
CANELÉ Macaroons (Paragon, Singapore): SGD 2.30 / piece, SGD 28.50 for 1 dozen in gift box
GODIVA Pistachio Macaroons (Pavilion, KL): RM 14.90 / piece
Till then, lotsa love, XOXO and more food expeditions coming up next!
This orange round box houses twelve litte colourful angels...
Colourful angels lying in the round box...
Purple, yellow, white, pink, green... these beautiful colours brightened up my day...

The special peanut sauce for the mini hot pot. Get ready for the heat!
Chicken set for the mini hot pot (RM 23.90). Pork and beef set are also available. Comes with side dishes like fishballs, clams, prawns, crabmeat, glass noodles, corn and variety of mushrooms. You can also order additional dishes like cabbage, mushrooms and meat from the menu. We added enoki mushroom and glass noodles... YUMM...
Ingredients all in into this pot of SUPER HOT mini HOT pot. We ordered mini hot pot with Taiwanese hot & spicy broth - 麻辣汤. HOT & SPICY broth with red chili oil floating on top of it = numbness in your tongue. You may opt for the normal clear soup or herbal soup if you can't take spicy food. Or my advice? Request few glasses of water if you have the intention of ordering this. 
A closer shot at the mini HOT pot (super HOT actually, just mini in size). Notice the red hot chili oil lingering between all the ingredients? But it is indeed excitingly delicious...
Another main course - The three-cup chicken set - 三杯鸡 
The chicken is considered flavorful and good, cook with 1 cup of soya sauce, 1 cup of sesame oil and 1 cup of liquor (Shao Xing I guess) and some spices - thus being called three-cup chicken.
I love dumplings and will order them whenever possible. This is the spicy dumplings with chili oil and vineger (RM 7.90 for 6 pieces). Not too bad, quite fresh with minced pork and bouncy prawns but I still prefer those in Dragon-I.
The interior. Rich and velvety purple is beig tastefully used here.
Direct translation "Hong Kong Dessert Brother", weird name isn't it? But it is said that all the desserts here are authentic Hong Kong style desserts.
How should I describe this? Shaved-ice with vanila ice-cream. mango, banana, dried longan and some sesame-like seed. An innovative combination I would say. Tastes like, nothing special, like putting different ingredients together and make sure it's a bowl of edible dessert :)
