Custard + Macaroons = Custaroons!

Delicious, mouth-watering merienda today. Papa brought home some pasalubong from Manila, as he usually does, and today we have two little boxes of some so-called "Custaroons", by Gigi Gaerlan (the name of the bakery perhaps). So what do you do when there's a box full of soft, fluffy, tiny yellow macaroons coated with custard, that looks straight from heaven?

Eat it, of course. So I took a bite.

And what a bite it was. The minute it entered my mouth, I was in seventh heaven. I could almost hear a chorus of angels singing in the background, and for a second, for one heavenly moment, I sat still and didn't breathe. The custaroon melted instantly in my mouth, but I could still feel the grainy bits. It was so sweet and luscious that I didn't want to swallow it straight down my throat.

From that moment on, I knew I wanted to eat custaroons forever.
