There are chasobas, and there are chasobas. And then, there is Ochacha’s chasoba, which is in a league of its own. I would gladly eat two servings of it in place of, say, anything from neighbouring Shokudo. I just do not understand all the hype surrounding it, or why day after day long queues snake at its entrance at mealtimes. But, this entry is not about Shokudo, it is about the chasoba at Ochacha.
What exactly is it? It is lovely chasoba noodles served chilled, each strand evenly coated with an oishii creamy sesame dressing and topped with sweet cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices. Toasted sesame seeds and sakura ebi mixed up the textures rather nicely and lent the very refreshing dish an added dimension of fragrance. There is no meat in this dish, but even for a carnivore like me, this coupled with one of their delectable green tea latte drinks makes a very satisfying yet guilt-free lunch. And we all know the two attributes seldom go together.
Best part is, this is only $5.90! I need to get my next fix soon…

Oops sorry, it’s at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre! I wish they gave more sakura ebi, but it’s lovely all the same.
