After waiting for the opening of Momofuku and Milk Bar, I was extremely excited to be able to finally try out this place. For Momofuku, the experience was... it was okay. Maybe it's because I was expecting a lot from Momofuku that it ended up not meeting my standards.

The ramen and brisket buns were mediocre and, to be honest, I don't think I'd come back for more. BUT the Milk Bar? Oh my goodness. It was: amazing, addicting, mouthwatering, just absolutely delicious.

If you want ramen recommendations in DC, I have a few lists up my sleeves! Keep a look out, because I just might blog about one soon.

Momofuku

Finally made it to Momofuku for the first time after hearing so much about it. I was so excited when I stepped inside and our server brought us to our table.

Ramen, Ramen, Ramen.

Momofuku Ramen: Pork Belly, Pork Shoulder, and Poached Eggs and yes, we all ordered the same thing. Sorry not sorry.

Momofuku Ramen

Don't let my photos fool you. Although they may appear to be appetizing, they were - surprisingly - mediocre. Sigh, I was not impressed.

Brisket Bun

Horseradish, picked red onion, & cucumber. I think they were trying to go with a "fusion" take with this. I think they tried too hard.

Milk Bar.

There's always room for dessert! P.s. you have to try their crack pie and cake truffles - although not pictured in this post - because they are to die for.

Cereal Milk Soft Serve

Now this. Was the winner of the night.

My Overall Rating: The Meal? C+. The dessert? A
