misleading platter pricing @ Wildfire

If the menu reads like this:

Wildfire Assiette $18 per person

six intense miniature desserts (minimum 2 persons)

and you order "for two", how many mini desserts do you think you get?

If you guessed twelve, you're wrong. 

Which is a pity, really.

Why not just price the plate at $36 and less patrons less ripped-off when they see the bill?

 

 Gone Nutino Souffle

nutino - hazlenut chocolate souffle, gianduja bombe, baileys-kahlua foam

 

Wildfire Assiette

(From memory) mini doughnut balls with raspberry injection

coconut and mango jelly with coconut and white chocolate ball

some nougat, florentine type item

petit fours

ice-cream and chocolate cake

I am sure that last description did not do that dessert justice. Nor did its pricing method.

Spoon service and Kanetani tribute @ Pier

We heard Katrina Kanetani (of MasterChef fame) was leaving Pier so we rushed to get a table. Turns out she wasn't leaving for a while but oh well... no harm done.

 

How much cutlery does it take to eat a dessert? And what is that pointy thing on the right?

Lemon Olive Oil Ice Cream with Fig Cream Gaufrettes

pine nut puree, lemon puree

 

'Nayarit' Milk Chocolate Jelly

pineapple sphere, tonka bean pannacotta, liquid sable

 Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

goats curd powder, ash, chestnut crumble, white chocolate yoghurt

 

Souffle

(I think it was peach and i'm fairly sure it was delicious)
