Momofuku Noodle Bar | New York City, USA
Having already dinned at momofuku ssäm bar
and spent almost every other day in New York salivating at the memory the other
travel bunnie and I got the tummy grumbles but found ourselves cold and nowhere
near any of our pre-determined “to eat” places. Given that it was getting
late the only logical thing to do was jump on the L train and across town to East Village
and see if we could get some more of that David Chang Magic!
Momofuku
Noodle Bar was pumping at 8pm but from the second you step inside of this funky
little eatery you are over whelmed by the atmosphere created by a room full of
content casual diners. We were quickly seated at the bar and knew what we
wanted to eat (which was pretty much everything we saw everybody else eating)
in seconds. I ordered the momofuku ramen with pork belly, pork shoulder and poached egg ($16USD) and the other bunnie
decided on the chilled spicy noodles, sichuan sausage, spinach and cashews ($14USD). Can I say that the food, although simple in its
description was impeccable and was easily some of the best I experienced
anywhere in NYC.
As we got up to leave and up to the Rockefeller Center
for a little ice-skating, I saw the even more people were queuing to take our
seats and realized that the quality of the flavours and the vibe produced by all
of the patrons meant that this may actually be one of Chang’s best endeavours and simplicity really is FINE dining!
