Dan and I finally made it to one of the Momofuku restaurants for a regular (i.e. not prix-fixed) meal. Ma Peche actually lets you make reservations for more than 4 people, which is great. The location is kind of weird - in a hotel, and the decor also was kind of sterile in my opinion w/a hint of peach color ha. But the food was pretty amazing, though I was full after the ramen, which was problematic given that the was the second of four dishes we ordered lol. The rice cakes were ridiculously hot, especially re-heated the next day. Like I could barely eat any of it hot. Oh well. Dan enjoyed it at least.

| Pork buns! with hoisin, cucumber and scallions. Amazing as always. Melt-in-your-mouth meat. Dan said he thought it was better than Momofuku noodle bar. To me it was the same. |
 |
| (Left) calamansi soda, and (right) Arnold Palmer. Both amazing. Props to Ma Peche for having calamansi, which is usually only found at Filipino restaurants. It's a lemon-lime hybrid. My arnold palmer had jasmine iced tea, which added a nice floral note. |
 |
| Duck Ramen w/duck confit and bean sprouts. Very tasty and nice flavor of broth, but also very rich and mildly thick. |
 |
| Spicy roasted rice cakes w/pork ragu, water spinach and tofu. Topped w/some fried onions. So tasty but really hot. The rice cakes were very filling as well, kind of gnocchi-like but rice instead of potato. |
 |
| Jerk chicken wings w/brown sugar, all spice, and smoked olive oil. My fav new thing I tried but unfortunately the last dish served so I was already full and it was also temperature-wise very hot so hard to eat given my food-coma condition. |
