Due to its complicated baking process, the price for a box of macarons in Malaysia is expensive, but don't cross off this dessert from your list just yet! We've found a few home bakers and online shops in Selangor selling mini macarons (also known as baby macarons), so you can get a taste of this sweet little thing at a fraction of the price.
Update: As of 16 May 2020, some home bakers and online shops have stopped receiving orders for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. We recommend following their updates on Instagram or enquire directly for the next order period.
