Momofuku Milk Bar NYC Food Review

On April 14th I went to NYC to try some different foods. One of the places I went was to Momofuku Milk Bar. I've been hearing about Momofuku restaurants whenever I look for cookbooks on Amazon (Momofuku is nominated for a James Beard Award), the book cookbook Coco (Chef David Chang recipes in book), right before I left for New York I read that the Momofuku Milk Bar has the best cookie in NYC according to New York Magazine, actually it gave the award to Ma Peche (same address and both a momofuku restaurant), along with numerous James Beard Awards over the past 4 years.

I was really impressed with Momofuku Milk Bar.  They had unique milks.  Not like whole, 2%, 1%, or skim, all were made with whole milk.  In containers you could get cereal milk, fruity cereal milk, and coffee milk.  I choose the fruity cereal milk.  It came in a 16 oz plastic container, and was pink in color.  Ingredients: Milk, Fruity Pebbles, sugar and salt.  I beleive that to make the cereal milk they just blended cereal and milk, as it did have some cereal grittiness, but they may have crushed the cereal and let it seap in the cereal for a period of time to add flavor.  Experiments on this to come in the near future.

Everyday they make one type of bread, on Wednesday they baked Banana Green Curry Bread, I got lucky getting the last loaf for sale at around 4:00.  The bread was delicious, it started out tasting like banana bread, but then you could taste the curry spices getting warmer on the back of the palate.  They progressively got warmer, but not hot for me, but if it's to spicy for you try a glass of milk.

I also got cookies to go and the pies looked delicious, but I had no way to keep them refriderated until I got home.
