Four Seasons Hong Kong Melts In Your Mouth

In the history of specialty tidbits offered up by hotels, there are a few standout items for which we've happily said "charge it to the room:" first there was the premium espresso at the Fairmont Chicago, then came the Gansvoort's sex kit, and now we're all too enticed by the fancy French macaron set at the Four Seasons Hong Kong.

A "macaron," in contrast to the coconut macaroon, is actually a delicate little thing made of egg whites, almond powder and sugar, which resembles a mini pastel hamburger. Of course, Four Seasons will offer nothing but the best macarons, sourcing a selection from Ladurée, the Parisian patisserie which originally begot the handmade cakes back in the 1930s.

Primly packaged sets of 6 macarons are available at the Four Seasons Hong Kong in your choice of caramel, strawberry, pear, or the current currant favorite.

Let's hope this begins a trend; we can imagine at least some Ferrero Rocher at Courtyard by Marriott.

    Laduree's macaroons are indescribably delcious - light, crunchy on the outside, melting and tender on the inside.  Their store on the Rue Royale in Paris is a jewel from another century.  If you ever go to Paris, make sure to at least have breakfast there.
