I picked Momofuku Milk Bar because I have always been so intrigued by the Momofuku (Lucky Peach) empire of David Chang. Since it was my "birthday," I decided to celebrate my life through sugar. I ordered the cereal milk soft serve and the crack pie. When David Chang means cereal milk... he means cereal milk. It literally tasted like the milk you drink after your done eating the cereal, but in soft serve form. It was quite refreshing, but I understand the small serving because personally it isn't something I could eat in large amounts, but still so interesting and David Chang innovation-esque. It's something you can't find anywhere else (including the rest of his desserts!) I hope to explore the Momofuku empire some more...
The crack pie was seriously like crack. I've never tried crack before (aren't you proud mom and dad), but I'm sure this pie is just as addicting. I can't really describe the taste, but it's something you want to just keep eating. You can taste the sugar, (large amounts of) butter, brown sugar and love that goes into this pie and you just want to keep on eating it. Its really indescribable, something you need to try for yourself and of course, become addicted.
This is a short post, but speaking of desserts: my cousin and recently stopped by Grom after a pizza dinner. I have read that Grom was listed as one of the best gelato in this city so naturally I had to try it. I eat everything and say it's research for "my blog." So even if no one reads this, it's here for a reason! I ordered the tiramisu gelato. Not only had I been craving tiramisu, but the names of the flavors were in Italian and I obviously can't read them and along with my bad eye sight, I could hardly read the descriptions (that were in English). I went with the tiramisu, but I was very happy with the results. My cousin ordered one of the three chocolate flavors... in confusion.
The tiramisu gelato included espresso coffee, biscuits and Teyunachocolate chips. I'm not sure what Teyunachocolate chips are, but they were damn good. I remember biting into the chocolate chips and thinking how chocolate-y and flavorful they were. They fit perfectly with the creamy coffee gelato and the great chunks of biscuits. Great textures all around.
So now I'm pleased and a little embarrassed to say I have eaten ice cream/soft serve/gelato from three of the best ice cream places in NYC. Otto, Momofuku Milk Bar and now Grom. I'm trying to hunt down the Coolhaus truck next for an ice cream sandwich. Hey, it's summer!

Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches, I'm coming for you!!!
