Macarons from Indonesia

Sun Plaza in Medan, Sumatra Indonesia

In February 2025 I was one week in Medan on the Island of Sumatra. There I found this massive shoppingmall called Sun Plaza. It was so big. Hidden in the back I found this shop called La Maison. And guess what? They sell macarons! So i had to try them! Cookie hunting. So here’s my findings on: Macarons from Indonesia.

Patisserie La Maison

La Maison is specialised in French Macarons. Their presentation in the shopping mall was very impressive. It looks real luxurious. They had plenty of flavours. The price was not too bad. Approximately 1,40 euro per macaron. I decided to start with one first.

Popcorn Salted Caramel

I chose Popcorn Salted Caramel. I mean, who doesn’t like Salty Caramel. Right?? They carefully packed it in a little transparent plastic bag. I sat down on a bench in the shopping mall. Took the macaron out of the bag and took a bite.

Personally I didn’t expect much. So far the macarons that I’ve tried in the last 7 months that I’ve been travelling, were so so. But this one! OMG! What a pleasant surprise! It was delicious! The structure so nice and chewie! The flavour of the Salted Caramel so beautiful! This macaron made me happy 🙂 I decided to go back tomorrow, to try them all! Macarons from Indonesia.

The next day

I went back to La Maison the next day. I wanted to try all their flavours. But I could never eat all of them. At once I mean. So I chose for a 6 box. I picked 4 of them and asked the girl from the shop which 2 others she’d recommend. These were my flavours:

Kue Kacang (Peanut Butter)
Salted Popcorn
The Simpson Doughnut
Bubblegum
KitKat
Kinder Bueno

She packed them in a beautiful box. Which I carefully took back to the hostel, to taste them. My findings you can see in my YouTube series: Cookie Hunt. Here’s chapter 1.
