chocolate cholcate cupcake. it’s so delicious. the place was totally busy the entire time we were there. they even had samples of cakes to try. someone in front of me got the last sample of the coconut cake and i was so sad. i did make it up by also getting the ice box cake… and the banana cream pie. but their cupcakes are phenomenal!

ok so there’s always a line out the door, wrapped around the corner. but, it’s one of those iconic new york city spots that you gotta try at least once! i live in nyc and i love heading down to magnolia for TWO very good reasons. their ice box cake and the banana pudding. because they are the best. sure, their cupcakes may not be the best but their ice box cake and banana pudding are. seriously. it’s worth every single calory!!

was for dinner last night. and it was absolutely delicious. i think i might like this place better than the ssam bar. (the sister restaurant) the steam buns were so heavenly! the pork was juicy and tender, the pancake so soft! the curry pork belly, which is deep fried and it just melts in your mouth. the crispy skin of the pork and the belly fat. what more can you ask for. well, i also think the roasted rice cake is one of their yummiest appetizers! the rice cakes are toasted before so it’s nice and chewy. the chili sauce is simply amazing! dinner was topped off with sharing the momofuku ramen, which is larger and has more goodies than the regular pork ramen on the menu. i was so full, i think i had to be rolled outta the restaurant. YUMMY!
