Empire has arguably the best macarons in town!
Georgia Rocha Chu is the woman behind Empire and the creative genius behind these exquisite French macarons. Biting into one is like eating your way to a luxurious pastry heaven. These colorful sandwich discs elicit the excited kid in you as you try to contemplate what flavor you would happily devour first.
The lemon macaron, a canary yellow in color, attracts and allures. A kiss of sweetness with the faintest trace of lemon brushes the palate, as the round meringue gingerly crumbles between my fingers. The chili chocolate brings a sudden kick as the chocolate melds into a spicy endnote. A pink circular macaron reveals a flavor that brings together the sense of smell and taste. True to its name, this candied rose was how I imagined the flower of romance to taste like, if I ever were to eat one. Its mellifluous trait is further enhanced by the fragrance it emits.
The strawberry invokes little girl fantasies of everything pink and sweet. The triple chocolate and cookies and cream both provide saccharine satisfaction, while the mocha introduces a tincture of coffee to balance out any cloying taste. If you love nuts, go for the green pistachio while if you like milk tea then I suggest you opt for its namesake that has that oh so creamy appeal. My favorite would have to be the salted caramel which has a perfect reciprocity of salty and sweet.
Whatever variant you choose to try first, one thing is certain, these chromatic confections will definitely capture your curiosity. From the first delicate nibble of this charming and light French delicacy down to the last chewy and captivating bite, this vulnerable treat will leave you hankering for the next pastel-colored one.
