Soba and other Japanese food madness

Hi there, there is no fashion entries but another food entry again. Went to the famous "all prices at a fixed price" store again. According to my gf, PC, we had spent a record breaking time of 3 hours in that store. 3 hours, quite unbelievable, huh?

Had increased my intake of Japanese food items in my kitchen and quite happy about my purchases. This time I didnt buy any soba and sauce coz had stocked them up already. But would foresee that there would be a need to make a future trip down again coz I would go uneasy if my stock ran low. Yup, I would go hysteric if my favourite items run low, etc. Okay, there's a bit of exaggeration in this bit.
The damage for this purchase was approx SGD 20 and noticed that most of my recent purchases were hitting the double digit. My self control and restraint were thrown out of the window the very moment I stepped in these stores.

The items of this purchase consisted mainly soups and had a craving for soups especially the wee hours of the morning. The idea of liquid filling up the stomach instead of solid food sounds healthier. Perhaps, I may have developed a soba phobia after eating it the same method.
Another method I resorted was using the sachets of Katsuodashi (stated on the box) as a soup as well as using sesame dressing for a bit of taste. The taste was pretty okay but my gf, PC had prepared more elaborated cooking such as adding the other ingredients such as seaweed and wasabi. Talk about simplicity. Hence, my presentation is only for my viewing only and not so elaborate as compared to others.

Here are the items (Top : Sesame Dressing, Left to Right : Soups and horse radish paste- wasabi)
If you have any other methods of eating soba, please let me before I start to get sick of my own doings.
