Slurp slurp

Despite the copious amounts of food we had at Momofuku Noodle Bar (I mean, it was tasty and all) a few weekends ago, what I really wanted was good old fatty brothed ramen (à la Ippudo or Minca) and their version of ramen just doesn't hit the spot. We got snacks AND the prix-fixe AND a bowl of ramen. We were practically there long enough for two sets of diners in the seats next to us to finish. Not much to say - the tamales were huge, the chips were heavily spiced but good, there wasn't much shrimp in the "rock shrimp," and the ramen, while interesting, didn't do the trick for me.

A few shots taken on film (the very last snaps of my 400VC roll) below.

Is it Friday yet?

  2. There is nothing like a good bowl of ramen... Sorry to hear that this wasn't it though but I'm sure with your tendency to explore for food, you'll find one soon enough! At least you made the place look good :D
