Let's Sweets Japanese Buffet & Sweets

 

You can sink your teeth and fill your tummy with all these yummy desserts and savory food buffet at the newly opened Restaurant known as "Let's Sweets". This is another innovative dining restaurant by Japan Foods Holding Ltd which is best known for its quality and authentic Japanese fare with celebrated brands such as “Ajisen Ramen”, “Manpuku”, “Botejyu”, “Fruit Paradise” and “AOBA”.

 

Located at Bugis Junction, Let's Sweets is well furnished for its authentic Japanese creation with contemporary French inspired decor. The restaurant is fill with about 100 seats which provides a perfect and cosy tea session with friends in the afternoon or relaxing evening for a satisfying meal and treat.

 we were curious with this little “Blue Timer” that is being placed on every table. And after checking with the waitress; this is actually used to time the buffet eg:- For a 60 minute spread, the timer will be set till 50 minutes for diner to take and enjoy the food from the buffet area and another last 10 minutes is for finishing up all the food on the tables and proceed to the billing.

 
Head Pastry Chef, Miss Chika Hatekeyama (center of the 3 beautiful ladies), together with her dedicated team of four experienced and skillful chefs from Japan will feature an extensive selection of more 40 delicate and delightful dessert spreads in Singapore.

 
The buffet spread consist of 4 counters whereby you can fill up your tummy, enlighten your sight and pamper your taste buds with all kinds of Desserts (cream puff, jelly, mousse cake, cheesecake, crepe and etc), Savory Dishes (pasta, pizza, soup, finger food and etc) and Beverage counter with Chocolate Fondant.

 
I love the set up of their Homemade Bread counter located at the end of the buffet spread. All the freshly bake and hearty loaves of bread are display on the shelf and you can even turn some of the mini bun into burger or pick a slice or two of the bread and toast it for soup.


 
Some of the savory items at the buffet spread such as Omurice, Eggplant Gratin, Fried Chicken, Potato Wedges, Fried Prawn, Salad Green and etc.


 
Their pizza is freshly made by the chef and served on the buffet spread and it comes with both sweet and savory type. And you can see on the photo, the "red pillar" is the pizza oven which is similar to what they used in some Italian pizza restaurant.


 
The base of their pizza is thin and crispy type where you don't get to stuff yourself with all the flour base. Too bad, I did not get a chance to try out their Chocolate Almond Pizza that I think I will leave it till my next visit.


 
Some of the savory food that I have take a Shot from another food blogger - The Hungry Cow plate as I was busying tasting all my favour desserts shown below.


 
Array of mini Mousse Cakes at Let's Sweets such as White Chocolate Mousse, Coffee Zenzai, Green Tea Mousse, Chocolate Mousse, Cassi Mousse and etc. Each of it taste so yummy that you will sure go for more.


 

Another interesting item to look forward when dining at Let's Sweets is their famous Japanese street snack, " Dancing Yaki Mochi". The rice balls are slowly and evenly toasted to give a crunchy feel on the outside with a warm and flavourful feel on the inside.

 

These handmade Japanese Mochi are filled with five different flavours comprising of Sakura Cherry Blossoms, Red Bean, Miso, Black Sesame, Sweet Potatoes that rolled into perfect little balls. Out of the 5 different flavours, I love the Red Bean and Sweet Potato. The texture of the outer skin is so crispy and yet when you starts to eat, it is so chewy and bursting with sweet flavour.

 

Although I am not a fan when comes to Crepe but this on-the-spot handmade dessert has actually caught my attention with it's beautiful display. Let’s Sweets features about 3 different flavour of Crepes such as Mix Berries, Chocolate Banana and Caramel Apple.

This Mix Berries Crepe is freshly made upon order and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and mix berries sauce which definitely able to melt your heart with this on hot summer afternoon.

 

This is a cold version of Crème brûlée known as "Custard Pudding" for their menu. If you are a fan of this dessert, do pick up a cup or two satisfy your crave.

 

Tart Aux Poire is actually "Baked Pear Tart With Almond Cream Base", but for those who don't fancy the taste of almond, don't worry this tart taste great with grind almond as one of the ingredients rather perfuming the tarts with almond essence taste.
 

One can definitely enjoy a robust sugar journey at Let's Sweets without a hefty price tag. Beside, extending 60 minutes for lunch and 80 minutes for dinner for each diner will ensure that each patron has his pleasurable moment at the divine spread.

Top Nine Doughnuts Garnish List
#1




 faire la critique: Smart use of colours, specifically the use of love confetti looking deco. making it appetising to the observer, right plate, right size and full marks !!

#2
 faire la critique: leaf like plate unique to bring the doughnuts, presentation thumbs up, colour sufficient but prefer to take picture asap when garnish is cut freshly, others factors are met, full marks again  !!

#3


 
   
faire la critique: square plates and round item complement each other very well, fruit granish at the side can be improve with more colours, e.g. mint leaves ?
serving and plating is acceptable 

#4
faire la critique: like the colourful  baby blue and pink toppings on the doughnuts, but serving size inappropriate for one person, use of dolly paper is too small for the plate and is white defeats the purpose on a white plate 

#5


 
 faire la critique: wrong use of the cartoon plate, presentation minus point, garnish and colour missing although  size is correct 

#6
 
 
 faire la critique: the cinnamon roll is eye pleasing but not the plate, too small, looks cramp in it, presentation, colour, plating, missing , sizing is the only want correct. suggestion is put colourful hundreds and thousands as garnish can bring this dish out !

#7




 faire la critique: the tomato garnish is wrongly used as it does not suit in the doughnut :)  red plate is fine as long as it is not melamine, but white can bring colour items out more such as doughnuts and white plate. suggestion dolly paper below.
#8






faire la critique: jelly beans and confetti below may look nice but the red melamine plate is a no-no, serving / plate size is correct though 

#9
 




 faire la critique: raisins look black, not really attractive to stand out and the plate is red melamine and then plate size is too small ~~ overcrowding ~~ serving size is okay 

- overall summary to note - 
  1. plate size must be correct, be overcrowding 
  2. garnish and food should be fresh made and taken asap to capture the freshness ~ and not the greyness stale ~~~ with a lack of lustre ~~
  3. garnish, use appropriately, sweets uses fruits more citrus type and mint for coco type 
  4. but when garnish in school is limited, need not garnish,
    NOTE : TO NOT GARNISH IS BETTER THAN GARNISH WRONGLY ~~
  5. also garnish need not be always food, it can be items like dessert fork ~~ use of dolly paper
  6. serving size, must always keep in mine
    one person enough? 
  7. plate best kept white, avoid red + melanin at all times
  8. colours colours colours + creative creative creative
