| - This was the third time I'd been here. I have not been to Sweets Raku in over a year, and they have changed their operating procedures. It is a 2 course menu now for $15. The first option is an amuse or you can purchase single desserts for $12. You can also purchase a cream puff for $5. If you did want 3 courses, it'd be the $20 as opposed to the $19 it was a year ago.
They no longer have the menu items on the rice paper. It is going to be a menu with the different desserts on there. They do still have the rice paper for you to eat. When I went, it was an apricot sauce.
I had the mango amuse with a mint jelly which was pretty good. It most definitely had an authentic taste. It tasted just like a mango. My friend got the carib which is a coconut panna cota. It was very delicious, and cool. What they do is the have a piece of chocolate on top. Then they some hot ( I think it was mango), and melted the chocolate on top. It was super cool! The dessert I got was the Nasri which had a fake pear made out of sugar! It was very unique looking. There was a sorbet of some sorts. I'm not sure what flavor it was. But it went really well with the pie. I think it might have been a pear pie, but it was really crisp and flaky and amazing.
The service was decent. At one point, I ran out of water, and no one filled it up for me. The dessert is very unique, amazing, and wonderful. I wouldn't come here every day because I don't think it's in my budget to splurge every day like that, but I would definitely go again!
