WHAT I'M EATING: BAR SOBA WEST, GLASGOW

December 3, 2013 in Uncategorized

My favourite food is Thai and Chinese, so I was excited to try the menu at the pan-Asian Bar Soba West on Glasgow’s Byres Road.

We went on a Friday lunchtime, and it had a great vibe. It was great to have a seat by the window and people watch. The decor inside is very New York street-inspired with its exposed brickwork, graffitied walls, tin cans as condiment holders and wooden plank tables.

Just as much care has gone into the presentation of the food. Freshly chopped chillies and Asian vegetables add colour to dishes, and act as reminders that everything is freshly made to order.

For a starter, my husband as I shared the Mixed Sharing Platter (£6.50 per person); which was amazing. The portion size is huge, and we needed a little break before we took on our main courses. It is excellent value for money- you get a large portion of Japanese chicken tempura and vegetable tempura with sweet chilli dip, plus chicken satay skewers and peanut sauce, Malaysian Sate Ayams (which are basically like onion bhajis) and Thai fishcakes stuffed full of fresh fish.

We both chose Thai curries for our main course. I had the creamy Thai Green Chicken Curry (£10.95), which was mild and packed with flavour. My husband had Thai Red Duck Curry (£11.95) which had a stronger spice factor.

I can’t wait to go back again. The food is so authentic, flavoursome and fresh.

CBD oil orally does so much for me, but I’ve tried a few different CBD skincare products and I just couldn’t see any results from them. Perhaps, likely, that is because I don’t have any of the skin issues that CBD skincare can help ease the side-effects of - eczema, rosacea or acne etc. For people without these conditions, CBD skincare is still supposed to offer anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-ageing benefits, but aside from my normal skincare benefits, I don’t see anything further or better because of adding in CBD.
💆🏻‍♀️
The @skinrepublicuk CBD Nourish & Glow Sheet Mask is a nice, hydrating mask but I wouldn’t say it is particularly soothing or calming than, say, the non-CBD Dr Jart Ceramidin Sheet Mask - my go-to for soothing and calming skin that’s been irritated. You do get plump, hydrated skin with this Skin Republic mask; but not any particular increase in glow. I like it, but it’s nothing special and not one I would re-purchase.

It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite cream eyeshadows, in pot form. A few of these I’ve had for ages, but they last so long and as long as you use them with a clean brush I think there’s nothing wrong with continuing to use them. Clockwise from the top they are @ctilburymakeup Star Gold, the now extinct @glossierplay Glitter Gelee Gold, the equally as extinct @diormakeup Fusion Mono in Hypnotique, @tomfordbeauty Cream Colour for Eyes in Burnished Copper & Midnight Violet. Swipe for swatches.
