SOBA Asian Bistro

2006/08/08

As I have mentioned before, I am a fan of SOBA Asian Bistro. This time it was the Spicy Shrimp Noodle Soup. Soba’s Noodle soup is MMM MMM good. I just made that up. Catchy. I can see the commercial now. In the middle of a big winter storm, a short snowman walks up the path to his house and enters into the mud room. Then his mom hands him a cup of Spicy Shrimp Noodle soup. He takes a sip and all the snow melts off and you see the little boy under the snow.

I just made that up too.


Getting a dish with shrimp in it ends up in a seafood edition of where’s Waldo…the shrimp being Waldo. I can’t wait to see Snakes on a Plane so I can get some more material like that. C’mon! Waldo? Where’s the creativity is more like it? But seriously, look at the amount of shrimp. I think there was like 7 or 8 shrimps in there. I love the glass noodles and the broth is pretty spicy. Does it get better for $6.95?

Oh I almost forgot, for $1.75 you can get a Summer Spring Roll. Check it out:

It’s like a Noodle Burrito. The mint is nice and refreshing and that peanut sauce is chuck full of peanuts and sauce…which is what I like in a peanut sauce.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, SOBA is SoBa-F*$#ing-gooood. Yeah, I’m going to hear about that one from my parents. I think it’s a good slogan though. I’ll take my t-shirt in an XXL (told you I’m a fatty).

Anyway, I highly recommend the Spicy Shrimp Noodle Soup and the Summer Spring Roll from SOBA.

Double Happiness – Broccoli Chicken

2006/08/04

I’m sort of an idiot. I don’t want to struggle trying to figure out or even read the description of what the Tequila Tacos consist of. I would hope it had something to do with Tequila but nothing to do with the worm (boooo). So when I ordered the Broccoli Chicken at Double Happiness in Downtown Bend, guess what I got?

hot and sour soup
Yup, Hot and Sour Soup. Hehe, the Broccoli Chicken is coming up next don’t worry. With a meal from this section of the menu you get your choice of Egg Flower or Hot and Sour Soup. I have yet to meet someone who orders the Egg Flower, if you’re out there, let me know how it is. You also get to choose between a crab puff or egg roll.

Anyway the Hot and Sour soup is just that, Hot and Sour. Hot n’ Sour was my nickname in college, just FYI. I love this soup but I don’t want to know what’s in it. It’s a tangy, spicy, Chinese Jambalaya. At least that’s what I’m going with.

Not very long after I devoured the soup, out came my Broccoli Chicken. Service here is hella fast but don’t dive in, it’s also hella hot.

How can you not like Broccoli Chicken…it’s Chicken…it’s Broccoli…it’s delicious!

And of course I got mine with a little Hot Mustard on the side. Do I have to say how much I like my Chicken Hot? Well, I do.

So for $5.95 (assuming your meal is not on special that day) you get all this, AND A FORTUNE COOKIE!!! Unfortunately mine read “That wasn’t chicken” DOH!! HAHA just kidding.

Double Happiness is one of the best deals for a quick, hot, inexpensive meal downtown.

Tell em I sent you.
