My berry pancakes were a bit of mess - visually and tastewise. The pancakes itself and the berry compote were overly sweet. And while I do love the Connoisseur brand caramel and honey macadamia ice cream, when it is paired with the already sweet pancakes it made the whole dish rather sickly sweet... it almost gave the impression that a child had come up with the combinations of flavours. The soft chewiness of the coconut shavings didn't add as much texture to the dish as I'd hoped - the soft pancakes, soft fruits, soft ice cream and the soft and chewy coconut just did not work. The only thing that was good about the dish was the fresh fruit garnish.
Ms G's smashed avo and goat's cheese toast wasn't impressive either. Just something about the presentation of it looks kinda off - it all looked flat and smushed-up. Ms G wasn't thrilled with the taste - we think the avo had a drizzle of truffle oil which gave it an over-powerful earthiness that didn't suit the dish.
