I think ma...Hey Maya, have you ever had pork belly? I think maybe I remember you blogging about it at some point but im not sure. Anyway I just had it for the first time recently and it was decadent and everything you would think it would be. Also I tried a Bahn Mi, which is a traditional Vietnamese sandwich with barbecued pork and pickled vegetables. Amazing.<br /><br />Anna got a job at Momofuku in Manhattan, which if you've never been to you need to go immediately. The owner, David Chang, is about as ballin as it gets in the culinary world. Mad James Beards, Food & Wine Best New Chef, etc. Their menu has Asian undertones but for the most part is straightforward New American cuisine. They do fried brussel sprouts in a fish sauce that are mind blowing. Some other standouts were the fuji apple salad with kimchi, smoked jowl bacon and maple labne which is basically a fancy word for yogurt, and the sweetness and coolness of the labne perfectly accompanies the saltiness of the bacon. What thet are most known for though is the Bo Ssam, which serves about 10 people and is a huge pork shoulder that comes with a few different sauces and nice bib lettuce to use as wraps. "Ssam" basically translates to "wrap". It's served with a dozen oysters. Bangin.<br /><br />Hope your New Years was good, I dig your blog. Here's the link to Momofuku. Cheers.<br /><br />http://www.momofuku.com/ssam/default.aspErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725198658503019857noreply@blogger.com
