I genuinely don’t understand why the rating is so high (4.9 until this point). I’m not saying the food and service was bad, instead what they serve was decent. However, I would like to point out a few areas for improvement:
1. Waiting time. I ordered the tasting menu with 6 courses. Unfortunately, I have to complain that the interval between each course was inconsistent. We were served with the second course only 1 minute after finishing the starter. However, we waited for literally 30 minutes between fourth and fifth course.
2. Food sharing. Please take note that each course will be served in one plate for sharing. Here I’m not saying that sharing a dish is bad. In fact, I appreciate that in many cultures people share a dish (e.g. sharing a char siu platter in a Cantonese restaurant). HOWEVER, I don’t think the food they serve is suitable for sharing. Imagine three people sharing a chunk of Browne cake… and three people sharing one bowl of rice… Luckily I have my dinner with my best friends. Imagine sharing a piece of sea bass with your workmate… THATS JUST AWKWARD. To be honest, I suppose people only share those easily separable dishes across all cultures. For example it’s just weird for people to share a steak or a bowl of soup…
3. Inconsistency of food portion. This is definitely the sequela of “food sharing”. For the fourth course, three of us got one piece of fish. However, the two gentlemen sitting next to me also got the same thing. Then what’s the point of ordering tasting menu for 3? We can literally order food for 2 people and get the same dish with the same portion. Again, that’s why your food shouldn’t be served together!
4. Inconsistency in seasoning. For example, the three pieces of tuna tartar we got have different amounts of avocado… The salt in sea bass was not fully melted…
Well time to sleep… lazy to polish my language and type more. Anyway, for those who wish to come, good luck…
