WHAT and amazing place. So I have a pocket list of things I wanna do and try. So one thing was to try macarons. What are macarons...well they are a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, butter cream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from the Italian. Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate, peanut butter) to the new (foie gras, matcha, rose).

So this bakery is rated in www.urbanspoon.com with 93% which should be 200% . I looked for a place where can I have the real thing and I got it. I bought one out of each..and mmm. The best for me was peanut butter and the rose. But they all had their own great taste. Now I have one thing off my pocket list and this one stays in my sugar graving shopping list forever. So here are the photos......

Place on 4th Street, NW. So the rating on www.urbanspoon.com  87%  what is quite decent for a fast food Chinese restaurant. The size of the portions were big. I ordered the dinner for two and added one chicken dish and it was already too much. But the food was good and it got delivered fast. Service was nice and friendly.
Dinner contains: two spring rolls, pineapple sweet and sour pork or vegetables, ginger beef and chicken fried rice. I added also chicken in yellow bean sauce and cashew nuts.


So here are the pictures...
