Momofuku Ssam Bar

Dinner at Momofuku Ssam Bar in the East Village on Saturday night:

-- Steamed Buns (pork belly, hoisin, cucumber, scallions)

-- Edwards' Wigwam Country Ham

-- Satur Farm's Fried Brussel Sprouts (with mint, scallions, and fish sauce vinaigrette)

-- Pumpkin Chawanmushi (Grana Padano, kelp, pepita)

-- Sichuan Beef Tendon (with green mango and peanuts)

-- Spicy Pork Sausage & Rice Cakes (with Chinese broccoli, crispy shallots)


And as if that wasn't enough, after dinner we went next door to Momofuku Bakery & Milk Bar and proceeded to test out almost every dessert on the menu, including Strawberry-flavored milk which was unbelievable. (Next time, I want to try the Cereal-flavored milk -- it's meant to taste like the milk that's leftover at the bottom of the bowl once the cereal has all been eaten.)

omg, SO good! I am actually a brussels sprout fan now b/c of Momofuku Ssam Bar.

Cristina, when you go, you MUST also have dessert next door! Heavenly.
