Macaroon

Even though I've been at KLCC so many times, I've never step on the Harrods. Today was my first. Itupun sebab my friend nak carik bag. So I follow je la... Then, another friend asked me whether I ever ate macaroon. Nop... tak pernah. I tengok harga dia... RM 26 for 6 pieces of macaroon. Mak ai.... mahal gila! I would never buy that!

So my friend ni pun beli la... saja nak bagik I try. Bila dah makan.... uih...sodap! heheheh.... to those yang x tau macaroon tu apa (macam i...hehehhe..), here i copy & paste from wikepedia:

A macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-roon) is a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds"^[1] similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti.

The English word macaroon and French macaron come from the Italian maccarone or maccherone. This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaning crush or beat,^[2] used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient.

Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered nuts, generally almonds. Alternatively, coconuts can be used. Almost all call for sugar. Macaroons are sometimes baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray.

  

How does it look like?

Hmmm... yummy! I memang suka sweet desert like this. Nanti la... one fine day bila dah tak berapa bizi, nak try buat Macaroon ni (bilo la tu...).

I think this is the first time I wrote about any desert, despite of my blog that is named as 'iluvdesert'. Sungguh misleading... hehhehe... till then.
