Bangkok's Version of Cold Noodles

While living in Japan, I got addicted to eating cold noodles in the hot summers. They are cheap, simple to make and you can add whatever vegetables you like.

The hubby and I tried some cold noodles in MBK, at a noodle shop called "Ramen 8".

What we got surprised us: cold noodles set out with the same condiments as cold soba, a buckwheat noodle. Cold egg noodles and cold buckwheat noodles are two different things entirely. Usually egg noodles use a sweet, thin sauce, while buckwheat (soba) noodles are eaten with a dark sauce.


What we got.


What soba noodles SHOULD look like.

So we received egg noodles with soba sauce. Very weird. But we both hungry and ate everything up anyway. We also agreed never to order that dish again. ^_^
