A few years ago, eating at Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York was a totally new dining experience. These days, the restaurant's communal wood tables and blaring rock 'n' roll playlist have been widely copied, but its intensely flavoured Korean-inspired dishes are still unique enough to knock you out of your seat. This fall, owner and head chef David Chang brings his Asian-fusion cooking to Canada, opening a Momofuku outpost in Toronto's Shangri-La Hotel.
For those who can't wait, the beef ribs featured here are classic Chang: craveably sweet and tangy with surprising depth.
