Snack Time: Bar Dolci's Macarons
My friend T has been raving about this delectable Salted Caramel Macaron that was so good it has made her cheat on her diet as she couldn't resist a piece...or two...or maybe three. T has really good taste in food so I figured that those macarons must really be THAT GOOD.
So one Sunday, my in-laws decided to have lunch at Burgos Circle and right after, I convinced Paul to cross the street and visit Bar Dolci, a dessert place where my friend T got her favorite macarons from. Actually, I just remembered that I wanted to try Bar Dolci and totally forgot about the macarons at first. As we entered the busy store, I was immediately drawn towards the gelato freezer matched with the glass panels filled with names of Bar Dolci's gelato fans. The rule is they will put a point beside your name for every purchase of their gelato and after x number of cups, you get a prize.
I tried a few such as the Salted Caramel, Ferrero (which was yummy, by the way) and the almost sold out Vanilla Pistachio. All were good and I could hardly choose which one to get. Paul wasn't in the mood to have gelato so I will be having the entire scoop to myself, a bit too much since we had a very heavy lunch earlier.
It's a good thing, we headed further into the store and saw the glass casing filled with tiny colorful macarons! That's when I remembered my friend T and her favorite Salted Caramel Macarons.
I proceeded to order and got a set of 5. One piece of macaron is worth Php 50 but if you get a set of 5, all you have to pay is Php. 200. That's buy 4 get 1 free macaron! Woohoo!!
I was made to choose my set of 5 and of course I got 2 salted caramel, 1 coffee, 1 ferrero and 1 pistachio. I carefully carried my brown bag home to share with my family for our afternoon snack.
I first tried the Salted Caramel and my friend T was right -- it was DELICIOUS! I really can't exactly pin-point what I love about it but it just tasted so right. The smooth texture, the right sweetness, the perfect salty punch. It was a perfect mix all together and my taste buds were having a ball!
Papa tried the Coffee and commented that it was ok. Mommy and I shared the Ferrero and I find it a bit too sweet. The Pistachio was good but still paled in comparison to the delicious Salted Caramel.
As of this writing, I can't help but crave for more of Bar Dolci's Salted Caramel Macarons. I will also go back to try the gelato and their homemade popsicles too!
