Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie, Paragon, Singapore

Canelé patisserie is a little cafe branch (with 4 other locations throughout Singapore) that specialises in sweets and brunch. We happened to be there for the sole purpose purchasing stuff to eat on the plane later the next day and the allure of the yellow Canelé sign and macarons brought us in.

Let's get one thing straight. If you know where to look, things in Singapore are insanely cheap. And most of the time they don't compromise on quality. Usually it would feel like a waste getting something there that we'd be able to get over here and at S$11.5 for 6 macarons (roughly Aud$1.5 a pop), the temptation is irresistible. 

Needless to say I was there for the macarons and not the brunch, maybe another day, another trip.

The macarons were well formed with the good feet happening, a moist and chewy interior and a crisp outer shell. 

Feuilletine

One thing that's very noticeable were the thick delicious macaron fillings, whether it be a ganache or syrup had a good flavour as opposed to being just a load of sugar. They've got little textural things going on in the feuilletine above; it had an extra hazelnut praline sandwiched between the Caraibe chocolate cream for that extra crunch.

Canele make satisfying macarons and it's definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself on Orchard Road. Still, it would have to be TWG's macarons, with their whole unique tea theme, that slightly intrigues me more.
