Pork Steamed Buns
Freaking delicious. Maybe we were hungry but the pork belly was juicy and super flavorful. I usually don't like pork belly, but this one was amazing and the fat of the pork belly did not bother me. The meat was very tender and the portion of meat was generous! It's definitely comparable to the one we tried from Ippudo's.
Momofuku ramen
with pork strap, pork shoulder, poached egg
I was pretty disappointed. The flavor of the broth was very bland and the meat was flavorless. The egg looked really pretty though... It just didn't do it for me. I wish we had gone back to Ippudo instead.
Roasted foie gras
with almond, pear, smoked tea
We saw it on the menu and just wanted to have it for lunch. I know it's odd, but we just wanted to try it. I usually don't order such a rich entree for my first meal, but since Foie Gras will be illegal in California starting 2012, we might as well enjoy it while we still can. I really liked the chopped almonds with it. If you like foie gras you can't go wrong with this, maybe not for lunch though.
