Another trip to Momofuku Ko last Saturday evening, this our first in the new space at 8 Extra Place, it was end of their second week. Still a great place, and was fun having David Chang there, he was not cooking but was taking it all in, maybe looking for things to tweak, and he stopped by to chat with us a couple of times. Despite the ad on TV he is apparently not driving an Audi.
Menu had some old stuff and some new stuff. Our favorites the red snapper and celery root agnolotti. Least favorite maybe the venison. They changed up the soft cooked egg with caviar, serving it as a soft scramble and with the potato chips crumbled up too. I know that change is a steamroller and you are on it or are part of the road, but I think we like the original version more, better textures and I like picking up the little fingerling potato chips. Menu and pairings in the link below.
New space is neat and the crew seem to be enjoying it. We’ll continue to be repeat customers.
