@santoukasg puts a spin on soupless cold noodles with their Kaisen-Hiyashi Maze-Soba ($16++) that's decorated with halved prawns, sashimi slices, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and sprouts. With it, you choose one of three meat options, and two toppings from a variety of seven. My favourites are unagi, cheese, and mixed veggies.

This large dish is suffused in sesame sauce which lends your noodles sandiness. Add a hit of fish sauce to give it more body, then mix well before taking in a tangle of strands. The seafood gives you just enough meatiness and the veggies lend some balance. Their add-on unagi is soft and well-coated in sweet glaze but try their juicy roast beef if you prefer more chewiness. The cheese topping makes extra savouriness while our side of lightly blanched veg — cabbage, baby corn, and broccoli — cut through the richness of this dish. There's very mildly spicy chilli oil to pour in too to lift the heavy flavours because without, this large meal that's best shared can defeat even the most robust eaters — in a good way.
