Photo of the Week: Macarons from Patisserie Sadaharu AOKI in Taipei

In the continuing quest to eat every macaron known to man, I am easily swayed when passing a patisserie with these delightful treats. I had not been to this particular one in Taipei yet, however, our friend Janice, e*ting, from Hong Kong has raved about these on several occasions. Patisserie Sadaharu AOKI is not surprisingly from Paris, but as you might gather from the name “Sadaharu Aoki“, he is originally from Japan.

During an afternoon lunch at BellaVita with several other foodie friends, I ended up bringing home an entire assortment — one of each flavor….about $50 US in Macarons. Doh! Worth every Taiwan Dollar.
