Shimbashi Soba~

i'm not exactly into carbo, but when it comes to japanese soba, it's a totally different story ya~ Shimbashi soba at the Paragon serves really good soba! The texture of the soba is "Q" and addictive! :p~

~*Wakame Soba*~

Just look at the wakame (japanese seaweed), isn't it lovely? The lovely combination of the hot soup, wakame, soba... mmm mmm~

~*Healthy Diet Special Soba*~

hmmm... i made an adventurous choice and ordered this cold soba accompanied with natto, wakame, quail's egg with japanese yam, nori and lady's fingers. Why so? Firstly, although i really love my vegetables, i usually avoid lady's fingers whenever possible due to the slime. Secondly, although i've never tasted natto before, i've read about their gooey and slimy texture and that it's an acquired taste, but being a soya bean fan, i thought, well, how terrible can it be? hmmm... i enjoyed the "Q" texture and mouth-feel of the soba but the slime was simply too much for me to handle... it was amazing how i managed to finish 3/4 of it...

~*Salmon Sashimi*~

Although Shimabashi is known for its soba, the salmon was simply divine. The thickness, freshness and texture of each slice was simply...ooh lah lah~

~*Shimbashi Soba*~

The cold soba has a slight rough and strong texture compared to the soft and smooth texture of the warm soba. i'll be going back soon! And next time, it'll be hot soba for mi :p~
