I
went
to
Pig’s
Ear
with
my
sister
with
high
expectations
since
it
claims
to
have
a
Michelin
reputation.
Unfortunately
my
sister
and
I
were
severely
disappointed.
First
and
foremost,
the
portions
were
extremely
small.
As
a
chef
it
is
important
to
plan
and
understand
portion
sizes
for
different
courses.
The
starter
was
more
of
a
snack
and
the
main
course
was
entree
size.
We
were
definitely
not
full.
Flavour
of
the
dishes
Execution
of
the
individual
elements
were
fine,
but
the
dishes
overall
were
unbalanced
and
the
flavours
were
not
cohesive.
We
ordered
the
scallops
side
dish
which
was
cooked
perfectly,
and
the
accompanying
broth
was
nice.
A
little
more
seasoning
would
have
made
the
dish
better.
The
beef
cheeks
main
dish
was
tender
but
the
flavour
overpowered
all
the
remaining
elements
(most
likely
because
of
the
portion
of
the
other
elements).
The
venison
was
okay.
The
sauce
had
a
rich
Umami
flavour
but
there
was
not
enough
of
it
on
the
plate,
meaning
the
dish
overall
was
a
little
bland.
The
honey
roasted
carrots
were
the
biggest
disappointment;
it
was
undercooked,
had
a
weird
sour
note,
and
lacked
roasted/charry
flavour.
Service
When
the
food
was
served
to
us,
the
waiter
just
abruptly
placed
random
plates
of
food
in
front
of
us
without
saying
a
word
or
explaining
the
dishes.
We
were
confused
of
which
dishes
we
ordered
since
they
looked
similar.
This
could
have
been
dangerous
if
a
customer
had
a
specific
dietary
requirements
and
was
not
informed
of
which
dish
he/she
ordered.
Overall,
we
felt
that
quality
of
the
food
and
the
quality
of
service
did
not
justify
the
price
of
the
meal.
Pig’s
ear
need
to
better
understand
balancing
flavours
and
food
portion
management
in
order
to
improve
in
the
future.
