207 2nd Ave
New York, NY 10003
Momofuku Milk Bar was one of the places that I wasn't able to go to on my first trip to NYC so I was pretty intent on not letting that happen again. The main things I wanted to try were the pork belly buns, compost cookie and the crack pie. The pork belly buns are constructed in the way of peking duck. The pork was incredibly fatty, maybe more than I had expected. I was hoping it would have more of a sear or crisp to it but instead, it was all very melt in your mouth and super greasy. You get two for nine bucks. One pork belly bun is more than enough. The crack pie was buttery, sugary and a diabetic episode waiting to happen. This isn't something you want to eat by yourself even though you might consider it since each bite leaves you wanting just a little bit more. The compost cookie made a good snack. It wasn't out of this world but was pretty interesting since it was made with so much junk: pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch, chocolate chips. I also made the mistake of getting some coffee milk. It was darn good but with the extreme heat outside, drinking something milk based was not smart. Being the spontaneous and impulsive shopper that I am, I wasn't able to talk myself out of buying a MILK tote, which sits in my room. Untouched. Unused.
This could have been a great foto.
