We decided to go visit one of London's most beautiful cathedrals - St Pauls. And it just so happened that French Patisserie Chain store PAULS, had a bakery right next to St Pauls (how fitting!). We bought a huge chocolate macaron that was amazing - it had a crisp and crunchy outer shell with a soft and chewy centre, topped off by a smooth and rich chocolate ganache.
What are macarons you ask? Macarons are deliciously delicate petit fours, made up of two almond meringue biscuits sandwiched together by heavenly ganache or buttercream.
The cathedral was breathtaking as well. So St Pauls is famous for the whispering gallery up near the top of the dome. Its a perfectly circular dome inside and high up in the church, where you can whisper your words into the wall, and it'll travel to the other side sounding as clear as if they were standing next to you! It actually worked - if you put your ear up to the wall you can hear everyone's whispered conversations.
Mmm. Food/travel blogging reminds me of happier days when life was eating and seeing the sites. Today was first day back at uni after an amazing mid-sem break. . . still unsure about medicine and whether I'd actually want to be a doctor. . .? Ah well, I guess we'll see. In the meantime keep posted for the next foodgasmic experience!
