Slurpy Soba Soup

Soba in Broth with grilled Duck Breast. 

I love Love LOVE broth based foods. Hand-made buckwheat noodles in hot broth is no exception. This bowl is from Shimbashi Soba at the basement of Paragon Shopping Centre. It's really awesome, fresh firm noodles and a tasty hot broth. The duck was awesome... grilled rare and sliced. It tasted slightly gamey but with plenty of duck flavour imparted by that lovely thick layer of skin... It's more than $20 I think.. oops... but good for an occasional splurge. I usually put a generous dose of shichimi (japanese chilli powder) for that additional oomph!
