This place sells traditional Chinese festival food such as New Year cakes and Mooncakes, however that was not what I came for!!!!
I wouldn’t usually notice these traditional Chinese shops if it wasn’t for the MACARONS!!!!
They were brightly coloured macarons besides the mooncakes, how could I not stop by?!!
Some of them had two colours, the blueberry was made up of a pink half and a lilac half.
Not items you would expect to see in a traditional Chinese shop!

As well as macarons they also sell cookies to keep in the trend, not sure if both of these products are made by WahLaYuen.

Apart from shopping there, a lot of supermarkets such as Citysuper and Taste sell their stuff too.
Found out they have coconut flavoured New Year’s cake 椰汁年糕 even though it is a bit early now to be thinking about it.

Back to the MACARONS, I was drawn to the green one, which was apple instead of the commonly found pistachio. I wasn’t going to get the raspberry one but it looked nice made of two halves of different colour same as the raspberry.
It costs $13 for one and $65 for a box of five.
I ended up getting the apple and it was quite nice. Nice with a sugary crunch on the outside and chewy inside.
