Profiteroles: Dark or White?

Allegretto is famous for coffee with the artistic foam cap, but I don't drink coffee so tried their profiteroles.
If their other cakes were not sold out, I would have tried too.

Tried the dark and white profiteroles which cost $12 each.

White profiterole:
Dark profiterole:
Basically there was one profiterole in the cup, the white one was filled with dark chocolate creme while the dark one was filled was white creme.

I prefered the white one because the white sauce had a strong vanilla taste filled with creamy chocolate.
The dark chocolate was too strong for my liking because the cocoa taste was strong and not creamy.

High tea served in two rounds @ Focaccino

The High tea was served on a plate rather than elegant silverware.

The high tea was served in two parts, the first part was the items on the white dish.
After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant I noticed there should have been panna cotta as well, we notified the chef, she apologised and asked if we wanted takeaway or have it there.
So we I had it there and was given a fresh set of forks, but both were DIRTY with food stuck on it.
Dirty with food still stuck on
Food:
The tea set included: 2 quiches, cheese and salmon sandwich, cheese and ham sandwich, 2 fruit tarts, 2 cheesecakes, 4 mini scones, 2 panna cottas, 2 profiteroles (replaced by sandwiches as they were out of stock).

Quiche: tasted strong in egg with bacon pieces.
Sandwiches: both contained cheddar cheese, the cheese was ok for the ham, however the ham was slightly stringy and fat. For the salmon, I felt the cheese was the wrong type, it should have been cream cheese.
Fruit tarts: diced pineapple, blueberry and strawberry on a tart based filled with chocolate mousse.
Cheesecake: tasted better than expected, not too light or heavy with a hint of lemon and sultana just like the ones you get from M&S in uk.
Scones: Totally not authentic although they did taste like scones, they should have been served with clotted cream and jam, however they were drizzled with strawberry syrup, and not even any cream was served.
Panna Conna: this was the one they forgot to serve, basically it was very creamy and needed the chocolate sauce to support it.

Cheap all you can eat Vietnamese food @ 碌冧法式越南料理

The prices here are relatively cheap, however food is not that authentic.

From the list of choices, the range is neither big nor small, but there are a few things that are quite nice.

Pandan puffs, green papaya salad, and a good choice of drinks.
