Both authentically Thai and Japanese, Reiwa Soba stands out as a very special stall located inside a quaint coffee shop at Kelantan Road. It rooted from a special partnership between the original Thai stall owner Owaran and regular customer Shinji, who introduced a spicy tsuyu soba dip inspired by soba restaurants in Tokyo.

The flavours complemented Owaran’s Thai food well and hence it evolved into Reiwa Soba. Pictured is the Chicken Soba ($10). Soba here are made fresh from 100% buckwheat, hence giving a firm and yet slightly coarse-bitey texture, along with the subtle fragrance of the grain. The tsuyu was not very spicy, and it was quite different from regular tsuyu! Recommend to try this at least once!
