momofuku ssäm bar | New York City, USA
On
the first night we arrived in New York, despite being extremely tired
from a lack of quality sleep, we made our way to the Momofuku Ssäm
Bar. We had to. I had been dreaming about David Chang’s food day
and night and well before we even departed for USA.
The
restaurant was easy to find as it’s not too far away from one of
the subway stations (although we were almost guaranteed to get lost
every time when we stepped out of the subway as we had limited to no
sense of direction…)
We were
quickly shown to our seats at a long, wooden communal table by the
waitress. The crowds had generated enough warmth that the
restaurant’s windows were all fogged up, separating us from the
bitterly cold night outside.
We made our
decisions from the one-page menu, which was packed with delicious
dishes.
None of the
dishes disappointed us. In fact, every single one of them was well
above our expectations, whether it was the steamed buns with pork
belly, hoisin sauce, cucumbers and scallions ($10USD) to the crispy
pig ear ssäm w'
yuzu kosho, umezuki and thai basil. Yum!
