For example one (out of three) items I ordered was macarons; I didn't find it as crisp as I would have expected. Remember this is coming from a person who is not that much into desserts or sweets!KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-76085288073955380842010-09-08T16:53:20.362-07:002010-09-08T16:53:20.362-07:00Well Kim, I don't disagree with you.

Decent for Vancouver. Actually, I'm not sure if you can call them overrated for the fact they are new and barely rated. I'd call them decent and there are better.Sherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-33524851822054671192010-09-08T14:11:42.620-07:002010-09-08T14:11:42.620-07:00To put it bluntly, I thought they were overrated. ...To put it bluntly, I thought they were overrated.

I know, I should have paid more attention to your blog.<br /><br />Anyways, I found it, tried it and it doesn't come close to the ones in Seattle or even the ones from the Baker's Market. They're not as light and the filling is dense, rather than a nice smooth ganache texture.hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-26280191969370382992010-09-01T10:01:51.287-07:002010-09-01T10:01:51.287-07:00I'm always up to try macarons.
