Momofuku Noodle Bar

Big Apple Bites

To keep your spirits up on a day like today, repeat the following: "April showers bring May flowers"...

Another thing I wholeheartedly recommend on a rainy afternoon is a hearty, scrumptious bowl of ramen from Momofuku Noodle Bar. I have one word to describe Momofuku: YUM. Weird name aside, Momofuku lives up to its incredible reputation. If you have the patience to wait an hour to be seated (because they don't take reservations), you will not be disappointed...

I'm going to cut to the chase and start describing our meal. We started off with some homemade pickled vegetables, bok choy (a tad spicy for me), and pork/shiitake buns...

The buns were heavenly, the cucumber had the perfect crunch, and the pork belly was fall-off-the-bone tender.

Next up: ramen noodle bowls. Anja and I tried the Prawn, Papaya, and Scallion Ramen while Aleksa and Caroline had the famous "Momofuku Ramen" with pork belly, pork shoulder, and poached egg...

Both ramen bowls were to die for, as expected.

Momofuku is as famous for its outlandish desserts as it is for the scrumptious noodle bowls. So we ordered dessert, obviously...

Pancake Cake Truffles

Good, but not as good as Momofuku's Birthday Cake Truffles.

One of the most luscious, delicious, creamy, unique bites of frozen yogurt I have ever had.

Why is there so much hype about Momofuku? You must  see  taste for yourself.
