Le Musée: Colourful macarons with unique flavours like Tokyo Banana and melon parma ham in Telok Ayer

Many were excited when the famous French patisserie Pierre Hermé announced last month that it would be opening its first Singapore store in Sentosa some time in mid-2025. But since the launch is still a couple of months away, and not to mention, at a relatively inaccessible location (Resorts World Sentosa), here’s an alternative to check out in the meantime. 

Located in Icon Link@ClubStreet, a new underground mall conveniently connected to Telok Ayer and Chinatown MRT station, Le Musée is a new patisserie that sells colourful artisanal macarons with generous fillings and unique flavours. Meaning “The Museum” in French, Le Musée’s macarons are delicately crafted to look like individual works of art in a gallery.

The Signature Collection is a series of six macarons ($7 each) with three times the filling of a normal macaron. All-time favourites include the Royal Earl Grey and pistachio berry, where the latter features a Japanese pistachio purée made from imported pistachios from Japan. There’s also the salted caramel coco layered with chocolate on one side, Coconut Mango Tango, and crème brûlée. The tiramisu macaron even contains a Ladyfingers biscuit sandwiched between thick layers of mascarpone cream.

Le Musée’s latest collection is titled ‘Le Fruit’, and sees six creations ($8 each) inspired by fresh fruits. Notably, the macaron shells are lattice-shaped and resemble seashells, while the fillings are carefully piped to look like pearls. The pistachio berry from the Signature Collection gets an upgrade, with the use of a higher grade of Japanese pistachios and wild seasonal berries. Meanwhile, other peculiar flavours to try include the Tokyo Banana – inspired by the popular Japanese snack; as well as the slightly savoury melon parma ham – a spin on Prosciutto e Melone, a classic Italian appetiser.

Le Musée is open from Monday to Saturday at Icon Link@ClubStreet, Mercure Icon Singapore City Centre, #B2-08, 8 Club Street, Singapore 069472.
