SweetSpot Marina Bay Sands Macarons

Sweet Spot Marina Bay Sands Macarons

SweetSpot is a new dessert place at Marina Bay Sands Singapore. While we were at the Marina Bay Sands Celebrity Chef Press Conference, the kind folks at Marina Bay Sands gave all the media a box of macarons together with the press kit.

Macarons are delicious little devils; they are like love potions sealed within the shell of the macaron – released upon the first thrust, making you want more, and more. How can something as tiny as macarons be so intriguing? They are perfect as food gifts for a friend or someone dear, and I definitely won’t say no to the petite desserts even after a full course dinner.

Give me a box of macarons and I will love you forever.

With a subtle hint of the sourish passion-fruit flavor, the Passionfruit Chocolate macaron is the wildest desire — stirring up the lust in me. Hot and cold, sour and sweet – it is packed with contrasting flavors, and the fierce intensity of the passion-fruit with chocolate leaves the taste lingering on the edge of my tongue.

With the rich sweetness abstracted from the core of the twin chocolates – having the Double Chocolate is like falling in love. You take a bit from one side, and I from the other. What is love, you ask me?

Love is biting a macaron and ending with a kiss.

In many ways, the Coconut macaron is very much alike to reality. Unpredictable, fickle, and strong-willed; this is one macaron that’s difficult to stomach. But still, all of us love a challenge for something different. Forget about the common done-to-death chocolate macarons, coconut is the one to get.

Sweet Spot Macaron

Taking a bite of the Milk Chocolate macaron, it is a taste that we are all so familiar with. The everlasting doses of joy, the perpetual scent of the finest chocolate drown in the glasses of milk, the toothsome crisp of the chocolate shell – sinful, but splendid! It has the hidden message of ‘I-miss-you‘ written all over it.

With the pinkish shell demanding all the attention, the raspberry gives it a bit of sour, while the chocolate gives it a bit of sweetness; with the berry providing a good counterbalance to the oh-so-sweet sweet chocolate. Here’s a Raspberry Chocolate Macaron to the love of our life.

Happiness is the Vanilla macaron. It is the epitome of bliss, the recollection of memories, the gathering of butterflies, the meaning of anything-happy, and the reason for our existence.

You are my macaron.

    I love macarons *drool* But price is important to me too since these little buggers are always expensive — how much are these going for? I’ll be at the Sands a lot for work soon and I’d love to get macaron-fixes!!

    Wow – funny you should mention Sweet Spot. I’ve been on the hunt for really good macarons and found Sweet Spot quite by accident. And service was great to boot. The other place I think has good Macarons is Canele, although the staff aren’t as friendly. I guess those two places will tide me over till I go to Laduree in Paris again. Whenever that is.

    Geri: hehe what did you try at Sweetspot? yeah i always satisfied my macarons cravings at Canele Patisserie, they have one of the best macarons in Singapore. Laduree?!? WHEN ARE YOU GOING? can you buy some back for me? haha

    The Chocolate Paradigm Cake is really good with seven different textures and five types of chocolate. You should try it the next time you visit SweetSpot. It’s $9.10.
