NY hit list: Momofuku Noodle Bar

The trip has been dubbed the LoveWorldTourNY by a couple of girl friends who are also going to be in New York for a little bit over the summer.

I know you're probably thinking why is Momofuku on the list when it's always on my list because I LOVE LOVE LOVE ramen and Momofuku ramen & their buns too!

But what's more is that there is an event happening at Momofuku Noodle Bar while I'm in NY. Ivan Orkin will be at the helm whipping up Ramen until it runs out. Needless to say I will be one of those queuing around the block for a bowl of Ramen - I'm soooo excited already!

So Yum Ramen

I had a tea that turned into dinns at So Yum in Hyde Park this week. Although they are known for their dim sum, it's chilly out and I was in the mood for ramen. You know how I love ramen. So Yum happens to have a duck ramen, I do enjoy duck so it was a go.

This contemporary ramen had a light, flavourful broth, though I could've used with a little chilli. The duck was perfectly done the meat tender and the skin crispy, yes I said it crispy skin on top of a broth. The only thing that beats crispy duck skin is crackling. The broth, soft ramen noodles, slightly crunchy bok choy and crispy skin make for a great bite slurp.

My dinner, well tea, date Nandi of http://mamakashaka.blogspot.com/ (yes we love her blog) ordered a few recommended dim sum, the prawn toasts and hong kong pears (sans actual pear), to taste. The absence of actual pear was a disappointment to Nandi but she said it was tasty nonetheless.

Happy bite slurping!
