When mad dessertarians celebrate V-day I

Most people will be wondering where will we go on Valentine and we are those who are unwilling to pay the extra for an express meal with limited dinner menu. So far, we have not attempt to look for a place that is special when it comes to food, location and ambience. In fact, the celebration for each year is determined by what we are obsessed with during that point of time.

Since we have been faithfully trying to build our desserts database, most would have guessed what will be published in the next 3 days and yes... Today's entry is none other but Macaron L'amour from Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie.

I have always been curious about trying isaphan from various places but my attempt to find them failed. However, during the Valentine period, pâtisseries and hotels attempt to create their version of the coeur ispahan.

Decided to order this for Yuan but eventually he paid for it ($30+).

Glad he liked it. To him, this rose-flavoured shell with cream and raspberry jam is a simple combination. But yet is one of the best isaphan he have eaten so far. The shell has a strong almond taste and rose scent. Texture wise, slightly chewy but moist due to the filling. The only fault which he found in this isaphan is probably that there was too much cream.

To me, I thought it was too creamy and sweet; and that I didn't like the raspberry jelly which was almost 50% of its innard.
