When it comes to top-quality macarons, there are two pastry shops from Paris in the big leagues: Ladurée and Pierre Hermé. While the former used to occupy a store at Orchard Road which shut in 2020, most Singaporeans would not have had a chance to try Pierre Hermé’s famous confectionery yet.
The French patissier is known by several names – the best pastry chef in the world and the ‘Picasso of Pastry’ are some – and this year, he will debut his first Singapore store in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). Set to open in mid-2025, this two-storey boutique will offer Hermé’s iconic macarons, 15 flavours of ice cream, a variety of brioches, coffee, and bubble tea for an Asian touch.
Most of the attention will be on the macarons, which are known for their delicate, flaky outer shells encasing generous fillings of velvety ganache. The two signature flavours are the Isaphan (rose, lychee, and raspberry), as well as Mogador (milk chocolate and passionfruit).
In Paris, the patisserie offers other unique flavours like kinako (soy powder), cherry blossom, and chocolate white miso, as well as dual-toned macarons that combine flavours like black sesame with caramel, or yoghurt and pistachio with raspberry.
Pierre Hermé Singapore will be part of Weave, an up-and-coming lifestyle destination in RWS, which will house even more global brands making their debut in Singapore. The store’s official opening date and menu prices are yet to be announced, so watch this space for updates.
