 Up the slope, then the staricase brings you to NOM. My friend and I were greeted by a lady and were brought to our table. We were the first table there that afternoon. 
 Even when a few more tables came in, it remained quite quiet, so it was quite an ideal location for a catch up lunch.

 Shortly after we took a seat, the lady came to take our order, but we literally just picked up the menu. 
 Lunch sets include a starter, main, dessert and coffee/tea for $178. Now here is what we got:

 0. Complimentary Bread This bread was served on a cool stone plate. The bread was fresh and warm, but the butter was an acquired taste. 
 I stared at it at first because it was coated in black stuff. Then, I smelt it and it had such a strong scent. I heard that the black stuff was olive, and I have to admit that no matter how many times I have olives, I still hate them. I didn't like the butter at all, and neither did my friend.

 1.1 Quinoa with beetroot and baby spinach I had originally chose the smoked sworsfish, but was told that it wasn't available, so I chose the quinoa. I like quinoa a lot but asked them to leave out the goat cheese, because goat cheese is not a cheese I like. The size of the starter was very generous! It was the size of the lunch I used to pack for college! 
 The salad was good, but it was a simple dish that I think I could have easily made on my own. Also, my grandma makes the best pickled beets so I couldn't help but compare.

 1.2 Beans Soup with Gruyere Cheese and black truffle (+$20) My truffle addicted friend ordered this. Again, the portion was huge. There were so many beans that it was scary. There would be no way that a person wouldn't be full after the soup alone, so maybe it was a good thing that the soup was so salty that my friend had to stop at a few spoons. We could taste no truffle, and the best thing was the cheese stick that came with the soup she said. The waitress asked us how the soup was so we told her the truth, our answer seemed to have caught her by surprise, and she didn't quite know how to respond. Oh well....

 2.1 Spaghetti Meatballs This pasta dish was the better dish of them all. There were 3 giant juicy balls packed with lots of herbs. The tomato sauce was rich and tangy, which was very appetizing.

 What surprised me the most was that there were strands of meat infused in the sauce, which made it even more flavourful. 
 This was quite a nice dish.

 2.2 Ultimate Lamb Meatball Sandwich This was a photogenic dish. 
 I was reluctant to try this because of the lamb, but being a foodie I tried it anyways. The meatballs were cooked medium and had that strong lamb taste. The sauce and juicy balls made the soft bun all soggy, which was gross. I was glad that I didn't order this because I didn't really like it. My friend who eats lamb thought that the meatballs were quite good though, so trust her on that. The fries were nice. The colour was very light, so you wouldn't have guessed that they were that crispy. The ketchup on the side was unique. It almost tasted as if it had a floral. taste to it. Ha. It was nice.

 3. Nom's Signature Ice Cream Slider and coffee The coffee was your regualr coffee.
These sliders were cute looking. There were lotus chips on the side with icing sugar sprinkled on top. They were interesting and innovative in a way. Not a regular item you would have for dessert. Both my friend and I were disappointed by this dish. The vanila ice cream was good, but the bun was dry, and worst of all, the citrus fruit smeared at the bottom was awfully bitter. The waitress took our dish away before we finished our chips. The service was soso. 

Final Verdict:
I feel like I whined about every dish I had. I really don't know if I went at a wrong time, or their food doesn't match my taste. Although a bit pricey for lunch, you definitely won't leave hungry.
