which shall you choose? (from left to right) chocolate, pistachio, vanilla, rose, mango, raspberry, coffee, lemon or blueberry?
perhaps one of the seasonal specials: the red dark chocolate chili (fire), the white dark chocolate rosemary (earth), or blue mint chocolate (wind)?
or maybe one of each? :)
Ooh, raspberry please... yum. These remind me of some wierd coloured biccies we used to get in the UK in the 70's. Some kinda monster theme, can't remember exactly. They were gross, but you gotta free sticker in each pack, which was cool and well designed if my childhood mind recalls correctly.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been up your alley for way too long. How's tricks? Apologies for absence, but I've been on a blog/net diet for five weeks, most refreshing it was too, much like these snacks I suspect.
pieman! how was your european adventure? i just took a break, itching for another. hate this nasty typhoon weather.
ReplyDeleteraspberry's a good choice. i recommend the pistachio to compliment it.
Yum! I am loving your Manila posts...I like the chocolate chili ones :-)
ReplyDeletehi joey! thanks! i like the chocolate chili ones too, although i picked up one from the greenhills branch and it tasted like petrol---bleeeugh!
ReplyDeletehi OF--the pistachio one is quite nice. in fact, all the flavours i've tried are quite good, but i have to admit, i've only gotten halfway through the list. i think you would like the chocolate chili one. the flavour of the chili comes through, and there is only a little bit of heat that works well with the dark chocolate.
hi your highness! oh, the chocolate chili one has your name written all over it, although i think you'd like the mango one paired with the chocolate as well. wait until you see the other desserts from here!
ReplyDeleteomg, they are the best, aren't they? the lenguas de gato and ensaymada are also to die for! i went to bizu every single week that i was in manila this summer. that's over 12 weeks straight!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd do what you did - take one of each! That way I can try all of the combinations and find out which ones complements each other the best!:-)
ReplyDeleteYou know I've never had a macaron? In fact I have never even seen one for sale! I would have a very hard time just picking one and like Zarah would favor your approach. If I had to narrow it down, I'd probably get chocolate, or raspberry, or lemon, or ...
ReplyDeleteone of each definitely! and maybe a couple more of the pistacchio or raspberry!
ReplyDeletehi mariko! i only got one of each. but i went back twice :)
ReplyDeletehi purplegirl--welcome back! i wish i had gotten the ensaymada--the chocolate one looks amazing--but there's always next time.
zarah--that's exactly the way to go around it. and they have a lovely assortment of teas to help wash them down.
hi cathy! i guess i should be surprised, but i'm not. they are still not very common in the us. hm, maybe a trip to nyc is in order...?
hi gloop! it's a sugar-filled rainbow to boot :D
suze--absolutely :D
