Apparently the specialty of this café is their macarons. As cited in wikipedia, according to Larousse Gastronomique, the macaron as being created in 1791 in a convent near Cormery, and some have traced its French debut back to the arrival of Catherine de’ Medici’s Italian pastry chefs whom she brought with her in 1533 upon marrying Henry II of France. Whatever it is, we know for sure its not Japanese. Although, they seemed to have pull it off rather okay. There was sakura and green tea flavour.

A bit pricy, and not so popular among the crowd in Dutamas probably because the area is still rather new. This probably contributes to their macarons not being able to be served fresh.

Not to worry if it’s dulcified, because they serve great combination of beverages to go with it. Tea would be a good choice. I would definately return for the macarons.

Sake Miso set here is amazing as well. The set is pretty common but the salmon is amazingly fresh. And cooked to just the perfect texture. I would say all fish dishes here that was ordered is describe as luscious. Not dried, and it is almost close to perfection if it weren’t because of the heavy dosage of Sodium Chloride.

As a matter of fact I really think they should just go easy a bit with the salt. Almost all dishes are rather salty. Especially the ramen, which would have no need to go with the soup. Because the noodles itself is briny. The salt was overpowering the taste of the soup.

Profiteroles is a cozy dinning café with mainly Japanese dishes. Located on the first floor in solaris dutamas, it maybe somewhat rather dead. The food are not awesome, but rather palatable.

Profiteroles is a cozy dinning café with mainly Japanese dishes. Located on the first floor in solaris dutamas, it maybe somewhat rather dead. The food are not awesome, but rather palatable. Not so much to my liking. But I definitely won’t mind returning to this place again just to chill and hang out.

They have a couple of sides which I won’t say it is very interesting but rather reasonably priced. In fact, I think they are very reasonably priced with the portions and quality. I tired few main courses, some sides, some beverages, and my all time favourite, desserts and cake. For the main courses, there are currently set lunch promotions, where they give free flow green tea. Let’s start with the chicken katsu set. Just to be on the safe side, as anything that is to be deep fried can’t really go wrong.

True enough, nothing went wrong with the chicken. As a matter of fact, they are deliciously affordable at just the price of Rm 14.90. Deep fried tender chicken encrusted with crumbs. It may look small, but I see it as a good thing because then it allows you to get some sides which I strongly recommend the pregnant fish, shishamo karaage.

Like I mentioned, nothing so interesting here as this can easily be ordered from the LCD screen in any sakae outlet. But trust me, this is so much better compared to that. In fact, this one makes that one in sakae looks pathetic. Probably because, it was very fresh when I had it. Which again, wouldn’t have make much sense as this little shop here wouldn’t have possibly serve this as much as a chain restaurant. Then why do profiteroles possibly have a greater standard in terms of freshness? If you are a fish person, then you must order this when dining here. Fish lovers must also try the Saba Shio set.

Skin is slightly salted on the outside and meat is so soft and juicy on the inside. The crusted skin delightedly combined so well with the texture of the skin. The chef must be very experience to be able to control the fire and timing to perfection. Talking about perfection, they also serve perfect fine fragrant Japanese white rice. I must say, they could have just replaced it with normal rice to lower their cost. Nevertheless, maintaining the standard and quality is never a bad thing in F&B industry.Think Japanese food….think salmon….

Let’s not forget common Japanese appetizer, edamame. And once again, it is fresh but would have been delightedly mellow if it weren’t over salted.

Even the chawamushi was very appetizing thanks to the amount of salt. On the first few spoons, it was somewhat addictive. Close to two third of the consumption, I find the steam egg rather briny.

Japanese savories & French sweets? Sometimes, it's the unlikeliest union that breeds the best results; in this case, the proof is in the profiteroles. This charming cafe offers a reasonable range of basic fare _ everything from ramen and chicken katsu to gyoza and prawn tempura. We were pleasantly surprised by these handrolls, one stuffed with warm unagi and the other with tamago. There was minimal rice inside, substituted mainly with super-fresh greens for a springy crunch.

We had mixed feelings, however, about the outlet's namesake _ its profiteroles. I liked their creamy, custard-like chocolate filling, but my friend insisted they made his teeth ache.

More macarons? Really? But these do offer something different. There are several interesting flavors _ sakura, lavender, salted butter caramel _ that absolutely hit the spot, featuring less sugar compared to other macarons out there. But purists might say the ganache filling in this version is too thick and heavy.

Vanilla & chocolate sables. Classic cookies, nicely baked. Crisp and buttery all at once.

One point: Profiteroles might currently seem impossible to find, but here are the basic steps _ take the escalator up from The Pink Sage, look for a Subway store, take the staircase from there up another level, then search for a cafe with no signboard. A final note: no dinners are served here for now. The outlet is only open 10am-6pm, Mondays through Saturdays, but that should change later this year.

The Profiteroles on the other hand, satiated us a lot more. Four were served in a pyramid, two with plain custard filling, and two with chocolate filling.

Although not as firm as the eclair we had, the profiteroles we had had pastry that was slightly firmer than your average cream puff, slightly similar to the crusty ones available from Beard Papa's in Mid Valley. However, the cold and silky custard fillings were a dream. Sweet, thick and creamy, the explosion of custard went well with the slight saltiness of the choux pastry.

Being only interested in the desserts, we made a beeline for the counter. One of the items we ordered was the Chocolate Eclair. This was a thorough chocolate affair because the eclair is glazed with chocolate on the top, and contains chocolate custard within. The custard was lovely and creamy, but unfortunately, the pastry was hard, making it not as enjoyable as it could have been. Could have been better
