4.5 munchies: Not usually a fan of macarons, but I managed to finish this box of seven easily with another non-sweet-toothed person like me – only because they're macarons from Pierre Hermé. The seasonal White Truffle with Piedmont Hazelnut Silvers Macaron (above the Chocolate & Foie Gras in red) was undoubtedly my favourite of the lot; earthy white truffle flavours infused with the almond-enriched meringue. Nestled inside the smooth buttercream centre was a dry-roasted nugget of Piedmont hazelnut that provided crunch towards the end of this brilliant combination of sweet and savoury confection.

I'm still feeling bummed that the Jasmine Flower & Jasmine Tea was sold out when I visited on Christmas Day last month. For other regular flavours I'd also recommend the Olive Oil with Mandarin Orange and Salted-Butter Caramel (2nd & 3rd from the top respectively).
