Notes since filming: And thus begins my love/hate relationship with Momofuku and David Chang. My Momofuku reviews get thousands of hits and have netted me tons of subscribers, and so I feel obligated to review them when something new comes out even though the luster has worn off since I filmed this.
I was a little starstruck when filming this video. It was so early on and I was so happy to review something that was made by a “celebrity chef.” Unfortunately, David Chang didn’t really “make” these so much as just slap his branding on it and double the price. And since we now know what a total asshole David Chang can be, I feel bad that I gushed over these as much as I did in my introduction.
Still, I have to credit Momofuku for getting me to try Taiwanese-style noodles for the very first time, because while the sauce on this one was unimpressive, I still absolutely love A-Sha’s noodles.
Full credit to A-Sha for the noodles since I didn’t say it in the video.
Original video description:
