| - So here's the thing.
I came into Momofuku Noodle Bar with this godly image of noodles in my head - you know, Kung Fu Panda level noodles. But really when I look back at my visit, it was the appetizer and dessert that really left an impression on me.
First, huge shoutout to the wait staff. I completely screwed up my reservation for Momofuku and only realized the morning of. Regardless of their busy lunch rush, they allocated space for my party of 5 to dine anyways. That was pretty cool of them.
What I ordered: I came in for Winterlicious and ordered the Chicken Meatball Bun, the Ginger Scallion Noodle, and the Cereal Milk Soft Serve Ice cream. My friends ordered the BBQ Pork Bun, the Smoked Chicken Ramen, and the Chilled Spicy Noodle.
Chicken Meatball Bun: hoooooooooooooooooooolyyyyyyy this was the most delicious bun I ever ate I thought I was going to cry. This is not your typical Chinese dish. The bun had a heavenly soft texture to it, the patty was cooked and marinated beautifully, and the pickles and mayonnaise really elevated the overall taste of the dish. I could honestly order five of these instead of the noodles (it was THAT good). From what I sampled (stole) from my friends, I definitely preferred this bun over the BBQ pork bun.
Ginger Scallion Noodle: this dish tasted really earthly and organic. There weren't any spices or flavours that really stood out to me, but something about the taste was really "curious." I can't really describe it, but it definitely was not a blow-me-out-of-water noodle.
Chicken Ramen: I've definitely had better ramen - this one in particular was unnecessarily salty, mechanical, and thick. This dish was the only soup option available.
Spicy Noodle: really liked this one. If you were a fan of the Chicken Meatball Bun, this dish is definitely the one for you. There were really flavourful sausages, nuts, and the dressing of the noodle was seasoned wonderfully.
Finally, the Cereal Millk Soft Serve: so I was one of those people who went into Momofuku thinking about the mouthwatering Masterchef videos of Christina Tosi's creations. And if you've ever watched the most recent season of Masterchef USA, you probably know that they relentlessly advocated for Tosi's Milk Bar desserts over and over. When I saw Cereal Milk on the menu, I knew I had to try it - and of course, the dessert totally surpassed my expectations. The ice cream was really unique and I totally recommend everyone to try it sometime (it seriously tastes like Cereal milk).
Overall, enjoyed my experience here at Momofuku. Of course, it didn't really change my life forever, but I could definitely see myself coming back again (but let's give my wallet a break first). Thanks Momofuku Noodle Bar!
