| - Surprised to see how Toronto folks are not a big fan of David Chang. That's ok. But I had a great lunch here and everything I ordered was delicious.
I realized after visiting Momofuku that Toronto offers way superior ramen joints at fraction of Momo's cost, so I get it.
For me, the extremely spicy noodle caught my eye. I wanted a challenge. Turns out, it's pretty tolerable. It was spicy but not like the Korean buldak bokkeum myun challenge-spicy. And it came with a tiny glass of iced milk, how awesome. And it definitely helped a lot when icing my mouth down.
I had to order the kimchi jar, and I'm glad I did because it was really good. Mmmm... Way better quality than the ones you get at supermarkets or in Korean restaurants, obviously.
The pork buns were good. Tasted exactly like how it did back when Momo first opened in NYC. Good and expensive.
The rice cakes were really delicious too. They let them sit on top of the flat top low and slow for long time and it gave it a crunchy-chewy texture, which I really loved.
But the star of my lunch was the crack pie soft serve cereal milk. Jesus christ. The salty sweet combo had me all mesmerized. I've tried their crack pie before and although it's super heavy, it does pull you in like an addict. And this was exactly that except I could lick the pie. Lol. Now, I've read people complaining about its price, I guess it's a bit expensive when you can get a cone 10x bigger at Sweet Jesus for only $6 bones, and people there still complain about how expensive it is. I say it's all about the flavor, baby. And how much endorphins ooze out of your brain once you take a bite.
Wish I had friends here to try their fried chicken dinner. Ugh, it looks amazing. I've had Momofuku Ssäm Bar, NYC's Bo Ssäm package (slow cooked entire pork shoulder) and it was off the chain. It was worth every penny.
