Note: this review pertains to Momofuku's 2018 Winterlicious menu.
The first time I ever ate at Momofuku was Summerlicious 2014, so naturally I had to come back 3.5 years later for Winterlicious as well.
We had reservations for 12:15 and service promptly seated us at a communal table.
Onto the food:
APPETIZERS
The bun is soft and pillowy, and the BBQ pork is so delicious and tender accompanied with the coleslaw.
My friend's shiitake bun was a bit too sweet for our liking.
MAIN
The Pork ramen is unparalleled and absolutely divine. The pork belly is fatty and melts in your mouth, and the meat is so tender and flavourful. I really liked the broth. Also, this may sound gross to those of you who don't like raw egg, but my friend found (and I agreed) that mixing the egg yolk (it is still liquid) in with the soup makes it taste richer. Just our two cents.
DESSERT
Sugar fanatics, this one's for you: They're offering up a trio of desserts created by Christina Tosi herself, the founder of Milk Bar. We opted for the crack pie, which is has an oat cookie crust with a gooey caramel/toffee-like butter filling. I can say with absolute certainty that it ranks in the top 5 desserts I've ever had.
$30 well spent. Come here for lunch before Winterlicious ends (February 8)!
