Momofuku Noodle Bar is the famous local ramen noodles slurp spot

Who’s up for a warm big bowl of filling salty and healthy brothย filled with noodles, grilled chicken, poached egg and seaweed?
During our time in New York a lot of locals were telling me about the great Momofuku. And how can I leave this city without trying its awesome stuff myself?
Momofuku has several locations in New York where you can go for a low-key meal or for a chic dinner (like 2 Michelin stars chic $$$). Check out all the Momofuku spots.
We recently had a terrific milkshake at Momofuku Milk Bar in Williamsburg, but today weโ€™re finally going to slurp these ramen noodle babies in the East Village at Momofuku Noodle Bar. Be prepared to wait a bit but the line goes fast. This also means thereโ€™s no after dinner time here. But hey, why wait any longer to move over to your next listed hotspot.

So what are ramen noodles? Itโ€™s one big bowl of noodle broth with or without meat, veggies, egg, seaweed and more happiness.
Friday and Saturday the kitchen is open until 2am. A perfect midnight snack if you ask me. And youโ€™ll be thankful the next day.

If you can still move after this huge and filling meal you NEED to go to dessert bar Chikalicious around the corner. Here I had one of the best desserts ever, their famous Mint-Chocolate Lava Cake. It needs to go into the oven for 15 minutes, but after that youโ€™ll get your full and rich dark chocolate soufflรฉ, filled with mint-sauce-pleasure that runs out like hot steaming lava when opening up the fluffy outside. And a little mint-ice cream on the side. My God! Lava lava this!
