Stepping into Pierre Hermé in Paris for the first time was a magical experience.

Akin to taking the plane for the very first time; reading the first book in the Harry Potter series; the first time guys put on a tuxedo suit, or for the ladies, getting their first pair of heels when they reach 17; and finally meeting your idol in person – it is one of those life changing first experiences that makes you go “wow, oh my god.”

That’s how it was like for me when I went to Pierre Hermé’s patisserie in Paris. Upon stepping inside the pastry shop, I felt like a kid in Disneyland. The cakes on display looked so good, and I wanted to get all of them. Well, I would have done that, if my friends didn’t stopped me.

I actually visited Pierre Hermé several times during my stay in Paris. For the first trip, we tried several macarons, together with the famous Pierre Herme’s Ispahan, Plaisir Sucre, and Mille Feuille. Everything was perfect.

Before my flight back to Singapore, I went to the patisserie and grabbed a few dozens of Pierre Herme macarons, intending to give them to my good friends. But somehow, they never made it. All of them ended up in my stomach. Oops.

Pierre Hermé in Paris. Ticked off on my bucket list.
