today was the long awaited and much acclaimed chicken dinner @ momofuku noodle bar. we actually had it as lunch because this specific dining event requires a reservation, they only do one chicken reservation every few hours and it takes a month or so to even get a reservation. so basically ... we took what we could get.
why all the fuss over fried chicken? the name david chang more-or-less sums it up. he is the chef & owner of Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ko, Momofuku Ssäm Bar aaaand Momofuku Milk Bar .. all restaurants where he makes mesmerizing, strange, delightful food.
the fried chicken dinner includes two whole fried chickens, one southern style & one korean style. the dinner comes with mu shu pancakes, long spicey peppers, baby carrots, red ball radishes, shiso leaves, bibb lettuce, four sacues and an herb basket.
if that doesn't sound like enough, we also relished the epic pork buns as well as ..
-sautéed savoy cabbage with honey crisp apples, pork broth, togarashi-
-nugget potatoes with benton’s bacon, poached egg, scallions-
-pan roasted cauliflower with pesto, boquerones, kochu karu-

lunch was definitely an experience .. once in a lifetime i suppose because it's not really a repeat performance kind of meal. i look forward to returning to the noodle bar next month with some dear friends from out of town .. surely the flavors of david chang will knock their socks off!
