i hope you see this since it's a rat...hey evan<br /><br />i hope you see this since it's a rather old post but i've stumbled onto your site one day when I was searching for macarons in Singapore and i must admit, i'm wowed by your creations! Anyway, I just wanted to ask a little something with regards to macaron making - I'm new to Singapore and i tried making macarons before in more temperate conditions and i managed to get feet and almost no air pockets, but my first few attempts here have not been particularly successful. are there any tips of how to bake here in humid conditions? i understand if you won't be able to share since i see that you sell macarons. my other question is, where do you get the almond powder or flour for the shells? i've tried to looking at ntuc and cold storage but don't see to have found any almond flour. And do you know where silpat can be bought if you use them for the shells? I didn't bring my old one over, and I've been to Orchard Road (Tangs, Metro, Takashimaya and Isetan) but I haven't found any available there, sadly. <br /><br /><br />Eagerly waiting your reply!Mellynoreply@blogger.com
