Australian Beef Sliced Soba (RM24.90)
I’ve been craving beef for awhile now, and when I saw the combination of soba (buckwheat noodles) with beef, I thought to myself, this dish could hardly go wrong, and I was right. If you asked would I recommend this dish? Yes, I would:
- I’ve added Tobiko fish roe just because it is my favourite~
- The egg yolk is quite well done and didn’t “ooz” out tho for a poached egg… I was expecting a “runny” yolk when I burst it (haha)
- The beef was soft and I would say it is medium done.
- The soba was appetising with the help of the shoyu sesame dressing.
- The seasonal vegetables given was turmeric cauliflower, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
Remember to mix well before consuming, by doing so the taste will be more balanced.
Overall taste: 8/10
Calories: 898 kcal
Add on: Tobiko fish roe RM3
NUTRITION
Beef:
- Protein: Red meat which is high in iron and zinc. Promotes muscle maintenance and growth.
- Healthy fats: It has fatty acid called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which believes to aid weight loss.
Buckwheat noodles: For maximum nutrition, get 100 percent buckwheat.
- Manganese: One cup of soba noodles has 0.4mg of manganese. Important for glucose metabolism, wound healing and bone health, and supports nervous system.
- Gluten-free: A great alternative to noodles and pasta made from wheat
- Protein: One cup of cooked soba has 6g of protein
Premium Chai Latte (RM14)
As a fan of Chai or Masala Tea, I find this cup of Chai latte not spicy at all, but sweet. They serve with Almond Mylk, therefore it is lactose-free (maybe this is the reason is sweet too). What’s cute? It comes with a sieve to filter the ingredients while I could drink the beverage smoothly.
The Chai ingredients are from an Australian company called Prana Chai (www.pranachai.asia).
Overall taste: 5/10
Calories: 102 kcal
Dietary requirements: Gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan
Will I recommend this? Yes, if you are okay with sweet endings. No, if you don’t like sweet chai like me, I prefer spicy ones.

7:30pm on a Monday night, with a crowd of 20plus people dining in the restaurant. I think it was a decent crowd for this area.
