Nosh is nestled among the greenery in Rochester park. I was here for a wedding vegetarian lunch which was held mainly outdoors. There's a inner dining area with air-con but with only 5-6 tables inside. The feel was quite good for an alfresco setting. It was a hot afternoon but thankfully there's a huge breeze and also lots of fans placed around the area. - Nicely set-up tables with beautiful flowers- Where the bridal couple can walk out fromNow moving on to the vegetarian buffet spread:Mushroom

Mushroom soup - This tastes good & creamy with lots of wild mushroom taste, although there's a slight bitter aftertaste towards the end which I'm still fine with.
Asparagus Quiche with sun-dried tomatoes, rocket, cheddar cheese - A savory quiche with good-tasting fillings and nice pastry. One of the better dishes.
Apple, mango, celery dip with tortilla chips - The dip is quite refreshing & sweet with the fruits & the crunchy celery bits. Unfortunately, the tortilla chips were limp - perhaps prepared too early, something a bit unavoidable for buffet spreads.
Ricotta & smoked tomato crepes with truffle beurre blanc - I rather liked this dish as well, as I liked the mild-tasting filling within the crepe. But eaten together with the sauce (I cannot place any special taste to it), the crepe became limp.
- Some of the dishes on my platterPongal rice with green lentils, chili, curry leaves & tamarind - Rice was hard, and not much of a taste to it even though the description indicates otherwise. Did not like this at all.
- Pongal RicePasta with endives, heirloom tomatoes, artichoke hearts - Once again, another main carbo dish that is not good. The pasta is cooked till al dente but then there's hardly any taste to it also. Looks good but does not taste good at all.
- Pasta Mushroom Loaf with wild mushrooms, carrots, peas, smoked cheddar - Not bad, although the slices of the mushroom loaf was a bit dense due to the numerous ingredients inside. Some of my other dining companions couldn't get used to the taste & texture.
A mixed salad (forgot to take down the name) consisting of asparagus, tomato slices, green & yellow squash. - I found this to be not bad as well. Similarly, my relatives were not used to this dish as well, some of them even avoided eating the bright yellow squash as it looked like lemon slices. I just told them it's like an "ang moh melon" haha.
The 2 desserts offered were nice. The toffee date cake was moist & sweetness was just right. The cheesecake was also good, rich with taste.
- Toffee date cake & cheesecake with strawberry sauceDescription of the dishes were like "wow" but then not all of them lived up to the expectations which was kinda a letdown. I'm quite adventurous with food so I'm rather accepting of these different takes on vegetarian food. Those expecting a more traditional wedding fare were quite surprised though.
Generally I liked the ambience of this place & some of the food offered. Granted, they were presented as part of a buffet spread so perhaps quality could be better. Might give this place another try for dinners with its ala clarte menu.
