for everyone

My husband surprised me with a box of Luxemburgerli today. It's a treat from Sprüngli, similar to the French's macaron. Airy pieces of meringue, which melt in the mouth, sandwich a slab of cream filling flavoured with lemon, vanilla, mocha, chocolate, etc.

I like luxemburgerli because it's bite-sized and not too sweet. My favourite is lemon: it is particularly good, tangy, and fragrant.

Thanks, dear. It was a beautiful surprise.

hmm.. reminds me of Bakerzin..
I dunno why but I never really like eating macarons, it's too sweet for me. But I do love seeing their beautiful colors, tempting... ;P

Ngileeer!!!
Orang Eropa emang kadang terlalu bangga dan keukeuh dengan budayanya sendiri ya. Kayak Croissants, di daerah sini orang2 keukeuh menyebut Bamberger...barangnya sama! :D

Too bad I didn't try Bakerzin' for comparison. But my friend here, Titaying, who has tasted the real deal in Paris (I didn't either) said the one from Bakerzin is disappointing.

Hee....hee.. masa yah? Kata gue yg canggih justru packagingnya: dikasi tissue paper biar gak gerak2 dan hancur.

Haha, love your witty comeback. But in my defense, I only discovered macaroon while in France. Back in Malaysia, for the life of me, I can't recommend Rizby Bakerzin's macaroon. :) We're planning a Paul's macaroon session though. Do join us when you come for a visit to this side of the globe. :)

rizbyriz wrote on Dec 16, '07

I guess I'll start with Bakerzin, first.....

Venny... kalo pergi ke Paris mesti cobainya punyanya bakery "Paul"... aku agak tergila2 juga waktu makan disitu.. buset.. enak banget.. apalagi yang pistazien... (ngiler...ngiler...) tapi lumayan mahal sih.. 3 eur/pc..

bookshop wrote on Jan 15

Ternyata Paul terkenal macaronnya yah. Gue ke sana malah cobaiin pastrynya yg gak terlalu enak. Sekarang dah tau.. Thanks yah!

PS: Pa kabar? Kemane ajeee?
