Macarons.sg
Claiming to have the best tasting macarons in Singapore, this brand’s halal treats cater to the local palate by using less sugar and infusing the familiar tastes of bandung, ondeh ondeh, Milo Nutella and more. You can also get them in universally loved variations including speculoos cookie butter, sea salt caramel, double chocolate and French vanilla. For those special occasions, go forth and book a macaron cake or a tower. And if the meringue is your favourite part, get yourself a pack of macaron shell bits to snack on.

The Dark Gallery
You might know The Dark Gallery for its chocolates, but it gets even better when you have them infused within a macaron! Love tea and chocolate? Try the aromatic Earl Grey Chocolate with a 38% milk chocolate ganache. For a tart yet saccharine bite, get the Ruby Raspberry that blends pink ruby chocolate with the fruit. Dark chocolate fan? The Very Dark Chocolate is a bestseller, with pure 85% dark chocolate ganache in between two black macaron shells, topped with a gold leaf.

TWG Tea
From homegrown brand TWG Tea comes tea-infused macarons that are smooth and sweet (but not overly so). Signature blends are used in the ganache, while the crunchy meringue shells are made with almond powder and egg whites for that luxurious, smooth bite. Get a gold embossed box of these colourful treats to brighten up a mundane afternoon – we’ve dug into the latest Always Sakura release! Best paired with a cup of TWG Tea blend, of course.

Patisserie G
Artisanal desserts are the highlight at Patisserie G and the macarons don’t disappoint. Classic flavours like chocolate, salted caramel and salted hazelnut are always a delight. But for a more local spin, give the kopi butter, kaya, yam or salted egg yolk iterations a go, we say. If you love them, you can even get a whole platter of over 50 macarons to give the entire fam a sugar high.
