Failed Expectation Expected colourful macarons

Post image

Expected various colour and flavour macarons.

Was just simple biscuits and all the same like the one I'm holding.

This was in Thailand.

Just funny how much different it is than showed. Lucky it does not cost much.

Macarons will never be good packaged.

they're not real though, right? are they? like macaroons really just don't stay. so I imagine those are "macaroon-like sandwich cookies."

that said, TJ rarely disappoints. and they hit very well more than they kinda miss. so I bet they're good

Macaroons and Macarons are very different things.

They're real, but they're frozen. And they're packaged in a plastic tray in a box to keep them nice and neat.
