A quick day trip to Toronto from New York… I had a meeting on the 70th floor of the tallest building in Toronto… check out the views!
As the weather was slightly chilly, I felt like having soup for lunch… and came across a branch of Momofuku, David Chang’s famous Korean/Japanese restaurant chain, along the way… and popped on in.
And I have to say, business is GOOD. It was a Friday afternoon and the three-story restaurant was absolutely packed! I got a seat at the bar, so got to watch the guys working in the kitchen…
and all of the delicious ingredients they were adding to the rice bowls and noodle soups!
I went for their (most popular, which made me feel pretty boring) pork tonkatsu ramen, served with big, juicy slices of pork belly and some brisket as well… slices of fish ball, a poached egg (on the right), some seaweed, and a spicy sauce…
I was worried that, as the bowl was not mostly full, I would still be hungry afterwards… but resisted ordering something on the side.. and you know what? I’m glad I waited, because this was more than enough to eat! Springy noodles, flavoured broth and big, thick pieces of pork… Yum!
