Chris' Note: Please welcome back Carli for part two of her New York guest post
Next up was Momofuku Noodle Bar. I've never been much of a sake fan, but the Momofuku sake was the best I remember having and was the perfect compliment to the meal.
We started with the steamed pork buns which looked so good (and matched that in taste) that I forgot to take a picture before taking a bite. Please forgive me.
For my main course, I had the Momofuku ramen and it was probably the best bowl of noodles I've ever had. After surviving my college and early home-owner (read broke) days on 10 cent packages of grocery store ramen, it was a shock to realize what I didn't know I had been missing.
While I've done what I can to convince Chris that NYC would be a great place for us, he has made it quite clear he does not feel the same way. Although he sites reasons such as the pace of life, the expense of living and the traffic, secretly his is probably worried I will gain 200 pounds and have to be rolled around to my favorite restaurants. If I had the ramen at Momofuku everyday like I do in my dreams, it would probably only take a year or so.
Yum!!! I've made char sui bao but not those steamed buns. So I looked it up and found the recipe (including a video.) David Chang even has a cookbook out...Mom
