LET'S SWEETS- BUGIS JUNCTION

Had been having a craving for buffet lately. I love buffets because of its wide variety and also me being able to stuff myself until full. So, me and my friend went to let's sweets to try out the desserts there. Went there on Saturday around 1 and there is not much crowd. First, I thought that the time limit was 60 minutes but it turns out to be 80 minutes. Was happy because this means I can eat more:D Total price is $40 for 2 person.

I was a bit disappointed that they did not have the omelet rice and the variety of the savory dishes are only limited to certain types of pizzas (takoyaki, gyoza, salmon mentai, salami, chicken teriyaki, rainbow), pastas (tomato sauce and cream based sauce), crab ball fritters, rice with curry and vegetable soups. The salad bars are not at all appetizing. So, I did not try out the salads.



I love the teriyaki chicken pizza and the salmon mentai pizza. The chicken meat is very tender and smooth and there is not much cheese in it to make it too heavy. For the salmon mentai pizza, the mentai sauce is very fresh and suits perfectly with the salmon. however, I do not like the gyoza pizza. The gyoza in the pizza is too dry and there is too little filling in the gyoza. While eating both, the bread and the gyoza together feels so out of place. The crab ball fritters are very nice! I like it very much and had like 3 servings of it. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. the takoyaki is mediocre.Tomato-sauced pasta is nice but is left in the open for too long that it becomes in a room temperature and the taste is affected. But the taste is not too heavy for a buffet.



Since let's sweets is mainly focused on their desserts, I, too, mainly focused on eating their desserts. HA HA. Had all three types of crepes. First is the apple with caramel crepe, then the berry crepe followed by the chocolate banana crepe. Only took the picture of the apple caramel one because I was too busy eating it. I like the berry crepe the most though. Followed by the apple caramel then the banana chocolate ones. The crepe is too soggy and not crispy. However, the vanilla ice-cream saved the day. Th berry crepe is sweet and refreshing while the apple crepe totally warms your heart and stomach. However, the chocolate banana one is too heavy and does not really suits my taste-bud. Moreover, since the crepe is not that hot, it does not have the 'melt-in-your-mouth' sensation. It's a pity as banana chocolate crepe will be the best if is really like that.



Then, I had the banana tart, the daifuku (white one), the matcha cake and the red bean mochi. I love the banana tart the most! Not too sweet but there is a hint of a burnt banana tart which I love coz it totally complement with the sweetness of it. I had like 3 servings of this too. The daifuku is nice too. I think inside is sesame paste. It is cold and when you bite it, it just melts in your mouth. Not sticky at all. However, the matcha cake is too bitter for me. The red bean mochi is tasteless and there is not much thing I can describe for it.



For my 2nd round of desserts, I have the mango mousse, shortcake, the mango jelly in a cup and the strawberry parfait. The strawberry parfait is delicious. Light to the taste and refreshing. I like the shortcake inside it which blends well with the jelly. The strawberry used is really fresh. The mango mousse does not taste mango at all and it is easily forgettable. The shortcake have a hint of coffee in it, and it is my mistake to take it. Coffee and sweets just does not match for me. But, for coffee lover, you can try this. It really has a strong hint of coffee in it. The mango jelly or pudding is really nice. I like it. There is the taste of fresh mango in it and is not too watery. I like it.

If you think that this is all I ate, you are terribly wrong. I ate more than what I posted. Like I mentioned, some of the desserts here, I took like a 2nd and 3rd servings. Like the crepes, the tarts and the daifuku. I also tried the blue jelly (which I don't really like, too bland and the jelly is not easy to chew kind), some other pizzas, the curry rice (too diluted) and also other kinds of desserts. but I was too busy eating that I do not remember to take picture of it (I know I failed as a food blogger).

Let's Sweets is a good place for people who would like to eat desserts at an affordable price. The quality and variety is limited but considering the price, I think it is quite reasonable and is good to try it out. I shall try out their other branches as well next time
