Pierre Hermé Paris at The Ritz Carlton (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

We're throwing our first housewarming party this weekend and picking the perfect time to do it too on the eve of Halloween so everyone can do a little dressing up for the occasion. Every one of my friends knew I'm a huge Pierre Hermé fan so unsurprisingly, one decided to get us a box of Picasso's fabulous macarons.



Every year around Christmas time, I try to haul in at least a box of my favorite macarons from a Pierre Hermé boutique so this feels like Christmas arriving earlier this year.



I had the olive and vanilla before (right) and knew how good it tasted (love the thin slices of green olive in there) but this was my first encounter with their orange and basil flower flavor (left).

What a pleasant surprise! Love the fruity orange flavor to go with the basil flower essence. Like most of Pierre Hermé's macarons, the flavors are very complex.
