  • I've had my eye on Momofuku for over a year now. Why? For their fabled fried chicken, which at the time I was told was "the best chicken [they] had ever tasted". A bold claim... Let's dive in! The restaurant's entrance is stunning to be honest. I can't pretend to tell you what that sculpture is supposed to be out front, but I was incredibly impressed. Once you walk into the restaurant the interior doesn't disappoint either. It has a great modern look, so much so that I forgot my usual annoyance of not have chairs with back rests. For the fried chicken dish we were seated on the first of four floors; the Noodle Bar. Despite having the chicken on the way, we started with pork buns as an appetizer. This turned out to be a winner choice. The bun itself was oh-so soft, a little moist, and delicately flavoured. It really let the pork belly meat control the show, and you bet it did with the amount of fat that they left on it. It also has hoisin, scallion, and cucumber. Then came that chicken. You have to pre-order this dish a couple days before, since they pre-prep two whole fried chickens. They serve one up good old fashion souther style, then they get adventurous with a Korean style version. To complete the experience it comes with freshly made scallion pancakes, and an array of toppings so that you can make your own wraps. (Toppings: ginger scallion sauce, jalapeño garlic sauce, pickled vegetables, radishes, herbs and tabasco salt) Here's what you need to know. Both styles were perfectly cooked. The southern style was a comforting reminder of fried chicken that you're used to done at, or near its best, and the Korean style took you to a sweet and savoury place that you didn't know you were going, but were so glad you went. And talk about crispy skin! God knows how they got that meat so soft and that skin so crackly. The meal is meant to serve a group of 4-8 people, but I'd say if you're going with a group of genuinely hungry grown folk who are ready to eat, you can make it with 3 like we did. Don't expect to look pretty though while you work on this feast. You pay for the entire meal as a table which comes to $125 before tax. So, was it the best chicken that I'd ever tasted? Not sure about that, but it was damn close, and the whole experience commands a 5 star rating. I'd be more than happy to try out more of Momofuku.
