While grabbing ‘supplies’ before our flight back, we passed by TWG’s colourful and attractive display of macarons in the transit area of Singapore’s Changi Airport. I couldn’t help but get drawn to it because of my addiction. I didn’t want to get some cos I thought it was frivolous use of money to be popping macarons all the time.
The hubs noticed that and insisted that we grab some for the road (or in this case, sky). We decided to just get a box of 6, which costed about S$12, and I had such a hard time choose only 6 flavours.
In the end, the final 6 were (from left to right): Limited Edition Singapore Tea, Earl Grey Fortune & Chocolate, Kaya, Camelot Tea & Praline, Moroccan Mint Tea, Blackcurrant. Can’t remember the full names of the flavours, but I’ve got the gist down to a pat. We wanted to try the Matcha flavoured one but it was out of stock (a perfect excuse for buying another box the next time!)
I find it very difficult to resist the teas as well, mainly cos of the pretty packaging. (I’m a sucker for packaging; I’d go broke in Japan.) But we didn’t get any teas this time cos we have a lot of tea bags and tea leaves waiting to be drunk at home.
Regardless, I was a happy girl, prancing out of the shop with a paper bag of macarons, in a pretty box to boot! We hurried to board our plane (slightly late, as usual) and carefully tucked away our macarons safely. It was to become our breakfast for the next 2 days. (P.S if you do keep them over a night or two, the shells tend to get a bit soggy. Just FYI.)
I’m glad the hubs was sweet enough to insist on buying these little treats for me, despite me thinking about not wasting money and all. If I’m not going to pamper myself, I’m sure glad someone else is.
