Milk Bar

July 23, 2010

NYC - Momofuku, Milk
Midtown 15W 56 st.

Interesting store. We tried the salty caramel pistachio soft serve, and tasted each one of the ingredients very boldly. Very salty that a try of it was good enough. Also sampled the cereal milk soft serve, which tasted like soggy cereal in milk. Personally, I'm not a big fan of soggy cereal, so no comment there.

Had their mini cakes. We ordred their two chocolate ones, but ended up with a chocolate one and a birthday cake. It was very rich chocolate.
Had Coffee milk and tasted its bold flavors.
Also tried their mix chocolate cookie that had potato chips inside. It tasted like normal choc chip cookie, though.

Shake Shack

July 23, 2010

2nd time going there, but this time, I went to the one in Upper West side, close to the Museum of Natural History. Better "store" looking like store compared to the one at Madison, because this one actually had a sit down place indoors.

Although there was a huge line when we got there, the line progressed smoothly, and we got to order in about 5-10 minutes.

I had tried their famous 'Shroom Burger last time, so I tried their normal hamburger with tomato, lettuce, and of course, ketchup and mustard. The beef was juicy, and the bun was surprisingly good, too. The size is not the most generous one, but it was a delicious lunch.

My boyfriend tried the Shack Stack that comes with the 'shroom burger with a cheeseburger, but he ordered it as a burger. He commented that he couldn't really taste the shroom part because the cheese overtook the taste of the shroom, but the burger was good.

We also kind of wanted onion rings, which is not on their menu. Wish they had them.

I heard people saying that the smoothie was small, and I'm assuming that's relative to the price. I wonder if their shake is good.

Gourmet Dumpling House

Sesame Chicken
very heavy sauce, and the sauce itself, I don't think, is sesame flavored, but the light bbq-like sweet sauce is covered lightly with white sesame.

Special Mustard Greens with edamame and fresh bean curd
I didn't get to try it, so I don't know how it was like, but it looked good. Good home-style chinese dish?

Sauteed Chinese Watercress with garlic (special house sauce)
I LOOOVE 空心菜!The garlic was amazing.

Bok Choy with garlic.
This may have been my favorite! baby bok choy... so delish.

Pan Fried Little Soup Dumplings
It's best when it's hot. otherwise, the skin hardens.

Pork and Leeks dumpling of pan fried ravioli.
very good pan fried!
