Shimbashi Soba - Paragon

Shimbashi Soba is a tiny restaurant in Paragon. Its speciality is none other than soba - if you go past you will sometimes see the soba chef making none other than soba in the little glass container (it must be very hard cos everyone keeps peering in and taking photos of him, a bit like an animal display). But this shows that the soba here is really freshly made and hand made.

I usually eat here when I am too lazy, tired or hungry to think of where to go since it's
not so heavy or pricey.

The lunch menu is much cheaper and has quite a few sets to choose from. For dinner, it's about $23++ for the Set C, which you see below.

You can either have the soba warm or cold, and i think you have the option to change it to udon too. I like the soba (especially the idea that it's fresh and hand made, without all the preservatives).

Set C consists of soba served with sashimi, tempura and grilled fish and sweet egg.
Nice, light and un-oily noodles. I don't usually drink the soup cos I find it quite salty. Most authentic japanese soups are anyway. I guess it's a different taste from ours.
Grilled fish and egg.
Salmon sashimi. Yum :D
Tempura

This place gets pretty crowded during weekends dinnertime, and sometimes you may be seated on a table facing outside with very little privacy. Other than that, the food is refreshing and I usually come here if i can't think of anywhere to go.
