Im a sucker for Asian deserts (go figure), and while Momofuku's (means delicious peach in hello kitty speak) dishes are far from traditional Eastern fair, the fusion of classic french patisserie and contemporary Asian ingredients is as innovative as it is delicious. I really shouldn't be saying all this considering the only thing I've had at Momofuku is cookies, but what good cookies they were. My favorite is the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie, which had a consistency that you would guess from it's name, somehow soft like a marshmellow and yet crunchy like cornflakes. The ingredients are the stars here, and the soft buttery taste is something you can only achieve with high quality high fat butter. I was impressed to find out that most of Momofuku's ingredients were sourced from local farms, which explains their freshness. I also highly recommend the butterscotch cookie, but if your a looking for something much more traditional the chocolate chip will do fine. The milk bar is located on 2nd ave and 13th street, and while you may find the prices hard to justify if you get the right thing your getting your dollar's worth.
