Review – Momofuku Milk Bar

Yes, this name sounds funny but it’s a really popular spot and rightly so. There are various Momofukus in Manhattan and the Milk Bar is their dessert spot. Guess they serve regular food there too (maybe I’m just remembering wrong) but we went there for dessert. Went once again with friends which is always better because you get to sample whatever they buy too. So between the four of us, we had the following:

Compost cookie (a mix of random things including pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch and chocolate chips)

Peanut Butter cookie

Coconut Tangerine Cake Truffles

Birthday Cake Truffles

Crack Pie (oat crust and butter filling)

White Russian Milkshakes

It was all unusual and good. My favorite were the coconut cake truffles, which I ordered. Not sure how to describe them, they weren’t truffles like the regular chocolate truffles most are familiar with. They were like small balls of cake made to look like a truffle. And the cake dough was chewy like it hadn’t been baked fully, so maybe a mix between a cake and cookie dough. Hm, it’s a mystery, you’ll have to experience it for yourself.

The milkshake was something my husband and a friend ordered. Boy, that sucker is strooong. And of course very filling. They regretted their decision afterwards since we’d had a heavy dinner, all those darn truffles and cookies and then the shakes. Gotta try their food food next time.
