I enjoyed a fine meal the other night at momofuku in my old neighborhood (east village). I have wanted to go to this new ramen place since well before it actually opened. I for some reason or another just never got around to it.
I am not a ramen expert but I do know a thing or two. I ordered the momofuku ramen - which comes with Berkshire pork and a poached egg. The broth is fine but not what I am use to over rai rai ken. But the more and more you slurp the broth the taste comes out. Not overly porky like some and so a bit easier on the american palate. Its overall a good broth. The noodles on the other hand are dandy - the second you bite them. Soft as can be, maybe a tiny bit too soft, but they taste very good too and go with everything. The pork is out of this world. Overall not the most traditional ramen but still great in my book. I rounded out the meal with a cold beer and a cherry vanilla ice cream from mary's dairy accross the street (insert drool here) .
