REVIEW: Macarons de Pauline Assorted Box (Strawberry, Chocolate & Pistachio)

Hi guys! Ever since there is this hype about macarons, I’ve tried some here and there but, except one time, I never really liked them. I don’t understand this craze about macarons, they are just sweet, puffy, fruit flavored biscuits… I know, I know, they should be good when of good quality, but they are not (in my opinion). They look good though… very photogenic little cookies.

This time I’ve bought one box of Macarons de Pauline Assorted with the following flavors: Strawberry, Chocolate and Pistachio. They are made in Belgium. They are pretty expensive considering there are only 3 macarons (around 3 euros).

Unfortunately, I didn’t take very good photos of the macarons that I’ve bought, but anyway, here they are:

Supposedly, the experience of eating it is the whole secret. The key. They should be crispy, but just a little bit, and puffy and soft on the inside with a velvety and creamy filling, just like in this image:

The Macarons de Pauline were, a little bit like that (but just a little bit, not like I wished). I would never buy them again, even though they look cute. I liked that they aren’t extremely sweet, but the flavors are fairly fade, nothing extraordinary and the cream is not very good. Maybe in the distant future I will buy some other macarons, just for fun and because of their cute colors, but that’s all they are about.
