| - I finally made it to Momofuku today, and I'm glad I did!
I went in for the Winterlicious lunch, and ordered the pork bun, smoked chicken ramen, and the compost cookie. I've never had a pork bun so I have no frame of reference, but I thought the bun was really soft and the pork was the perfect size/texture/temperature. I loved the ramen broth (it had a lot more body to it than I was expecting) and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I have to say I wasn't a fan of the mushrooms in the dish. I love mushrooms, but found that the sweetness of the shiitakes clashed with the other flavors in the dish. They were easy to avoid, though, as they were all placed to one side of the bowl.
When it came time for dessert, I was a little disappointed to receive a hard, boring cookie after hearing so much hype about Milk Bar. The guy next to me ordered the chocolate pudding, which had a nice presentation and looked a lot better than my cookie.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the experience and will definitely be back.
