Since Shaw Blvd is only a few minutes away from my home, we decided to just have our dinner from any of the restaurants we'd pass by there, and that's when I remembered Moshi Koshi.
I remember noticing the place shortly after it opened, and thinking that it wouldn't be a hit given its location. But after hearing about it from an officemate, I got intrigued and made a mental note to try it out when given the chance.
Moshi Koshi Noodle Boss is a restaurant located in Shaw Blvd (right next to Red Ribbon), that specialize in Noodle dishes. I think their name is straightforward enough for anyone to get that instantly. :P
Though, personally, I didn't know what Koshi is so I found the description on their website pretty useful:
What I ordered: Tempura Soba (P160).
It's noodles plus ebi tempura in miso soup garnished with carrots and green veggies (I have no idea what it is. haha. spring onions?)
Ordering this was a mistake on my part since I never really liked Miso soup (I get tired of the taste easily) But for someone who's not a fan, I was able to finish this more than halfway! :D I really liked that the soup wasn't overpowering, and I actually enjoyed eating this it at the start. The tempura's sizes were generous enough and what I expected for its price. I liked that they weren't deceiving and made to look bigger by really thick coating, like some restaurants do.
As for the koshi-ness (or just Koshi?), the noodles were indeed in that "sweet state of a noodle that is tender and chewy, firm but not hard, with resistance to the bite"
Mikee's order: Katsudon (P170)
His never-ending default order every time we eat a Japanese restaurant.
He let me taste it (okay fine, I got about 3 huge bites from it) and I actually liked this more than what I ordered. haha. I liked that it was generously coated with the egg, and that the rice underneath was really tasty. I asked him to describe how it was and he responded by raising his left hand to eye level and saying "this is Teriyaki Boy," and using his right hand, gestured at the air beneath it while saying "These are the others I've tried," and then using right hand again, raised it slightly above his left and said: "This is Moshi Koshi"
Very articulate. haha

Pricing is okay. It's not cheap, but given that I'm kuripot, I guess my standards of "cheap" are really low. haha! But it's pretty much justified considering the serving size relative to its price. Their serving is not a lot, but more than enough for one person. I didn't get to finish what I ordered, I ate about 2/3 of it, but I still felt full.
Will I eat here again? Yes. Definitely. I'm really curious to try their Yakisoba and their Green Tea Ice Cream, so I'll probably get those next time. :)
