mpany’s handmade macarons were declared Sydney’s best in 2012, outshining Laduree and Adriano Zumbo in a blind tasting led by a panel consisting of esteemed judges including Quay’s Peter Gilmore.MakMak has secured a position within the 247 square-meter concept space know as A Little Something, which showcases high-end gourmet food and wine from Australia. A Little Something includes brands such as Maggie Beer and T2 Tea, as well as international names such as Fortnum & Mason and Max Brenner.
CEO of MakMak, Carlos Heng said that exposure to international customers throughout the terminal was a key factor in the company’s decision to open its second outlet at the airport.
“Half of the passengers moving through the international terminal are foreigners so it’s a great opportunity to introduce MakMak to an international audience. We have long term plans to expand into Asia so this is a perfect first step,” said Heng.
To mark the opening of the new airport, MakMak has created a new lamington macaron flavour to be sold exclusively at the terminal which features cocoa infused shells sprinkled with coconut and filled with rich burnt butter buttercream.
