We ordered the Ispahan. Some background information, Ispahan, also known as 'Pompon des Princes', is a clear pink, half-open kind of Damask rose.
It seems like the famous Pierre Herme is obsessed with roses and these array of rose desserts simply melts my heart, must include France into my honeymoon trip...
Don't they look lovely...
Some acknowledgments to be done... The picture of the Ispahan rose is taken from List of rose photos at woodlandrosegarden. As for the picture of the macaron from Pierre Herme, it was taken from potatomato.blog and lastly the lovely array of desserts were obtained from the blog, paris breakfasts.
In Singapore, BakerZin presents Ispahan as a must-have for the macaron lover as it has a lovely pink rose-scented meringue filled with rose butter cream, fresh raspberries, lychee and a sprinkle of fresh rose petals.
And our choice of macaron is the blueberry as I have mistaken it as the equivalence of violette. This traditional French pastry is the perfect complement at the end of a delightful meal or as a light snack on its own. These creamy chewy meringue biscuits are crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle. With a crackly shell and a hint of almond flavour, BakerZin claims that these handy mini-snacks are simply irresistible.

After eating this back to back with Amande and Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie. I realize the main difference between BakerZin and the mentioned two is that the former doesn't have a chewy feeling. It is more to a the crispy side and generally are sweeter.
Selling at $1.50 (excluding the 7% GST) and with a diameter of 4cm, I guess this won't be my first choice when purchasing macarons. I prefer the chewy after-taste even though their flavours are generally more tempting...
Comes in 16 flavours, they are arabella, blueberry, chocolate, coffee, foret noir, framboise, hazelnut, ispahan, lemon, opera, pistachio, rose, scarlet, sweet pleasure, tanariva and WGC.

Having eaten amande and canele back to back with bakerzin. I personally would prefer the former over bakerzin. The macarons from bakerzin do not have the chewy feeling, just a crispy crust. Personally i feel that macarons should have the chewy feeling if not, it would taste almost like cookies. However i guess Bakerzin win in terms of flavours. It has a wide range of flavours, 16 to be precise. And as I pointed out, macarons taste better with milder flavours such as rose or blueberry. Thus when deciding on your macarons, its between the chewy feeling or flavours. At this point, i would prefer the chewy feeling.
