Bouchon Bakery Chapter II

Passion Fruit & Pistachio French Macarons - Bouchon Bakery


Bouchon Bakery - Rocketfeller Center - New York


This Bouchon Bakery was splat in the heart of the Rocketfeller Center, right across from the outdoor ice rink. 

It was super busy, you could see the building was literally packed!

Jocelyn had a dream about wiping the table with a yellow macaron a few months back.  She was craving french macarons for so many months, she started having psycho macaron dreams

So when she saw these....

Her eyes blew up...with joy of course!  And these macarons are larger than usual, like the size of your palm.  MMmmm!

The flavor: excellent!  Passion fruit tasted like...passion fruit!The texture though was inconsistent.  Parts were soft with the perfect crispy outer shell but some other parts were hard.

We also picked up a few of Bouchon's chocolates on the way out.  They looked like obese Yorks haha

The Fuggedaboutit had layers of peanut butter, caramel, rice krispies, covered in milk chocolate and sprinkled with a dash of sea salt.  It was pretty good but it wasn't anything special (except for the name, which, we must admit, was pretty nifty).  It was like a candy bar you could get at your local supermarket.

The peppermint patty was like a York, but on a sugar rush!  Cathy couldn't finish hers.
  
"It's too sweet!" she said.
And then Goldilocks Jocelyn came through the door and said, "I'll finish it for you!"

The End.


Eaten by Jocelyn and Cathy.
