Bang Bar Kkwabaegi: This Korean dessert doughnut is available at the new Bang Bar from @momolongplay at Columbus Circle in NYC. Costing under $4, the doughnut is quite sizable for the price and has a really delicious sweet flavor, even from the half without the cream cheese glaze and butterscotch drizzle. The doughnut has a satisfying texture that's less rich than a brioche but still moist and soft, which I actually prefer because you can eat the whole dessert without feeling heavy. The glaze, while sweet, has a surprising tartness that also adds to the breakfast doughnut not feeling overly rich. I heard that kkwabaegi is kind of like a cinnamon bun; this is by far the best cinnamon bun I've had. I really love that David Chang can introduce unfamiliar foods in such a delicious way that anyone would love, yet they are far from ordinary and will make you appreciate how many new foods and flavors there are to experience. 4.0/5.0
