After a large meal at Kabuto next door, I rolled into Sweet Raku next door for more dessert. I've seen this place in the strip mall and have always wanted to give it a try.
We were luckily seated right away at the bar (luckily because within 10 minutes there were several parties waiting for a table). The menu itself is quite limited to several desserts and some coffee/tea/drinks. Hubby and I shared what was essentially a strawberry shortcake and an earl grey creme brulee. I'm not a huge fan of creme brulee compared to my hubby but this one has lots of earl grey flavour, which I appreciated. It was hubby's THIRD creme brulee of the day (when in Vegas...) so he was creme brulee'd out at that point and said he preferred the first two he had earlier in the day. The strawberry shortcake then arrived and it was magnificent both in presentation and flavour. So delicious and unlike any dessert I've ever had. Not toothache-y sweet and was light and creamy and yummy. I didn't want to share!
Sitting at the bar was very special because we got to see the chefs make the dessert and a lot of work and care and time went into making every dessert. As I mentioned, the menu is quite limited so I am interested in whether the dessert menu changes over time.
