SINGAPORE – Move over, Pierre Herme. French patisserie Laduree is back to muscle in on the macaron action in Singapore.

In time for the festive season, it will start with a pop-up booth at Ion Orchard’s Level 1 Atrium, running from Nov 18 to Jan 11. 

The famed macarons will be sold at $4 a piece, and from $23.80 for a box of six. 

Flavours include classics such as vanilla, chocolate, pistachio and rose, along with newer options such as matcha and Dubai chocolate. 

A recently introduced creation is the Eugenie – named after French Empress Eugenie – a layered combination of textures featuring a crisp, gluten-free biscuit with an oozy centre encased in a thin chocolate coating. 

Created in 2023 by Laduree’s head pastry chef Julien Alvarez, the delicate treats are priced at $3.90 a piece, and from $22.80 for a box of six.

Other items include milk or dark chocolate-coated Marshmallow Bears ($9.80 a piece) and Langue de Chat ($28 for a box of 16) – in assortments, featuring flavours such as vanilla, caramel, strawberry, and milk or dark chocolate. 

Lifestyle merchandise such as key rings, tote bags and notebooks will also be on sale...
