Cold Soba

In Singapore, we have only two seasons - Hot and hotter. With the hot and humid weather practically all year round in Singapore, everyone is looking for ways to beat the heat. Some keep themselves cool in shopping malls, some go for a dip in swimming pool whereas some choose to stay at home.

I am one of those who choose to stay at home. I can't even bear to step out of the house to get takeaways. I think I'll melt under the scorching sun. On a warm weather like this, eating Cold Soba literally cools you from the inside. I'll be eternally grateful to whoever shows up on my doorsteps with this now.
