🍝 Chilli-crisp Udon w Chix - crispy & juicy chicken cutlet! would’ve preferred if there was lesser vinegar as it was quite overpowering
🥔 Bangin’ Mash - creamy, buttery mashed potatoes w a yummy caramelised onion gravy,, but sausages were a bit too dry & peppery for my liking
Visiting Kobashi was an enjoyable culinary experience, especially for those who appreciate distinctive drinks and hearty comfort food. The Earl Grey matcha stood out not only for its unique combination of floral and earthy notes but also for its creamy texture complemented by a delicate honey milk foam. If you're a matcha lover looking to try something refreshing with a twist, this drink is highly recommended. The chilli-crisp udon with chicken was satisfying with its juicy and crispy chicken cutlet, a nice contrast to the chewy udon noodles. However, I noticed the vinegar in the dish was quite strong; a lighter touch would balance the flavors better for those sensitive to tangy tastes. Still, the dish offers a great mix of spicy and savory elements and is worth trying. Another highlight was the Bangin' Mash – exceptionally creamy and buttery mashed potatoes, paired with a rich caramelised onion gravy that added a sweet and savory dimension. Though the sausages served alongside were a bit too dry and peppery for my preference, they did complement the mash well overall. What made the visit even more enjoyable was the 1-for-1 drinks promotion for new members, allowing me to explore more of their beverage menu without extra cost. For those who love cafe hopping and discovering new flavors, Kobashi offers a cozy atmosphere with creative menu options to satisfy various palates. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for both drinks and hearty meals in the casual dining scene.
