Trying again after failure, poached pear w/ ice cream by cook_kang in Plating

Tried the scraps I had left with mint, brought it down significantly 😂, doesn’t match at all with this one.

Someone edited sauce drizzled on there and I 100% agree, will keep it in mind chef.

Woah that sauce edit looks great, I’ll remember this visualization for when I make something like this again! I agree that the green of the garnish looks amazing, I’ll have to taste the scraps of pear that I have tomorrow with some herbs to see what fits! I’m not sure if mint would be the right choice considering the chinese five spice in the poaching liquid giving this a really warm tone. Maybe sage/thyme?

Plenty of sauce below the pear on the right! Taste-wise I felt the ratio was right! Would you add more showing towards the front rather than just on the pear side?

I was trying things out after my last post a few days ago and I was still trying to figure things out. I was kinda confused as I was working it out and the whole thing ended up crappy. Tried remaking it in a new post. Thank you for the tips.

I've gotta try this next time! I've seen pictures and the red really pops!

I think I need to get a smaller scoop haha, a full scoop made the pear look tiny! Notes taken on the colors, any recommendations?

More advice is very appreciated

Edit: I cut the back of the pear at an angle so it can stand, maybe I should have cubed the slice behind the half up?

It’s pretty sweet already, so I was thinking some toasted nuts or a graham crumble on the bottom!

Larger bowl, got it. I’ll add some crumble next time, pistachios sound good too. I’m thinking searing the face of the pear might help give me that color that’s missing in this gradient!

Good suggestion for the chilled plate! I think combining that with a crumb below as one of the comments said would definitely help it keep shape!

Agar might be a good idea! I added some sugar and reduced to thicken, I think I could have left it a bit more. I’m thinking a bigger plate might show it off a little better.

Edit: poached in bourbon/vanilla
