Christmas' cutest gifts might be edible ones: KL home baker Crumbs & Melbourne patisserie LuxBite have combined forces to offer Yuletide-themed macarons that'll have dessert aficionados going ho-ho-ho.
Crumbs, run by mother-of-three Aleena (who estimates she has baked 27,000-plus macarons), supplies the charm factor: designer chocolate macarons with hazelnut praline, resembling Santa, a snowman & teddy bears. They taste as terrific as regular macarons.
LuxBite, spearheaded Down Under by Malaysian-born Bernard & Yen, furnishes the fun flavors: Peanut Butter & Jelly (sticky-savory), Ribena Lemonade (perky), Watermelon & Guava (fruity) & Mandarin Jaffa (tangy-chocolaty).
Available through Dec. 25 at 1 Utama, sold at a kiosk outside Isetan on the old wing's first floor.
A box of four macarons (two each by Crumbs & LuxBite) costs RM30, with deliveries possible throughout the Klang Valley for a RM20 fee. LuxBite macarons are flown in weekly; ours tasted as fresh as most KL-made macarons we've enjoyed.
Tantalizing tidbit: Crumbs' macarons are completely hand-piped without molds. See www.facebook.com/crumbs.macaron for more info.
Thanks to Aleena for these macarons & helping to make this season sweeter.
