What Should I Eat at Momofuku's Bakery/Milk Bar?
Going to Momofuku's bakery/Milk Bar later in the week. Any cakes, cookies or anything else that are a must have? I heard the pistachio soft serve is great and so are the pork buns. Any input is very appreciated! :o)

Hi, Italianiancupcake. Ed Levine did a fairly comprehensive round-up of what to expect there, with beautiful photos by Robyn Lee: Momofuku Bakery & Milk Bar: It's Damn Good, Damn It!

You have to try the english muffin with the fried poached egg - it is divine! I had the tres leches (or was it dulce de leche) cake and it was also very yummy. I didn't so much like the blue cheese polenta bread. Compost cookie was good, but maybe not a must try.

This sounds great. I will definitely try

For the love of all that is holy, please don't leave without at least trying the salty pistachio soft serve. Although salty/sweet isn't to everyone's liking, I thought it was amazing (and am very thankful I don't live in the neighborhood...it could be a problem). The grapefruit/chewy pineapple combo is addictive, too.

I have to admit, I wasn't a bit fan of the pistachio soft serve, but it seems like a "YAY/meh" type of thing so you should at least sample it (they give generous soft serve samples). I really like the cornflake marshmallow pretzel cookie, the pistachio cake, and the VOLCANO, the huge ass bread bun filled with cheese, potato, and porky goodness. I'm also a fan of the candy bar pie.

The cookies are not to be missed. In order of must-eat to only-if-your-belly-has-the-room:
Blueberry cream
Cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip
Snickerdoodle
Banana
Compost
Peanut butter
Corn
Double chocolate
And maybe take home a slice of three-layer cake (dulce de leche, perhaps) and crack pie for later.

@chuckbass--Thanks for the 411 on the updated flavors--I so wanted to try the salty pistachio soft serve..maybe the graham cracker or the choclate malt..The salty pistachio got rave reviews by many. I wonder why is was discontinued? :o(
