So…. I actually came back from my Italian holiday 1kg lighter than when I left Cape Town! How awesome is that? The whole time I was stressing about coming back the size of a house with all that eating I was doing… I think it must have been all the walking and stair climbing that helped me out.
To reward myself, I decided to get something a little extra special… some macarons! And where do you go in Cape Town for only the best? Cassis of course! They have two stores in Cape Town – one in the Gardens Shopping Centre (that’s where I go) and then another one in Newlands.
They do cost R5 a pop – so you have to pick carefully and really savour them.
I went for the following flavours:
- Strawberry (pink)
- Citron (yellow)
- Pistachio (green)
- Passion Frui (purple)
- Coconut (white)
- Chocolate (brown)
- Orange with dark chocolate (orange)
Which one was my favourite? I can’t pick just one! That would be like cheating on the others… haha. I had promised myself that I would eat them slowly, maybe even one a day… but then I was like “who am I kidding!” – I ate them all in one go.
Now I have to get my ass back into the gym…
Chat soon. xxx

mmmh! i just love macaroons too! i will sure check out Cassis at the Gardens Centre.. thanks for the tip! I had one from a colleague last dec and am completely hooked!
Yeah, Cassis will become your best friend for life. hehe.
Babe – you HAVE to try out Emporio Leone (at Waterfront and Waterkant)… Its freaking amazing… Their macaroons are giving Cassis some serious competition…
Thx for the tip babe. I’ll be sure to go check it out. x
