nozomi (The Star Vista)

Recently opening their latest outlet, nozomi brings hearty jap food & shelves-load of sake to Star Vista.

I was fed their sponsored ads on IG & bought into it (thanks for making me your target audience) but it was a great choice to pay them a visit as their service and food were spot on!

Hubs & I ordered their Wagyu Beef Shiogayaki Don ($26) and Hokkaido Pork Katsu Yaki Capellini ($29).

The latter is a fusion blend of Italian meets Japanese. The capellini is tossed in sweet sauce (kinda like a yaki-udon style) and topped with bonito flakes. On the side, a huge crispy breaded Hokkaido pork loin cutlet accompanies the pasta. For the capellini, we would've preferred if it were soba or udon instead as the texture felt a tad bit strange. That aside, the pork cutlet was crispy and fried to perfection, maintaining its juiciness with every bite. Every piece has a thick layer of fat that melts in your mouth while retaining its natural juices.

For the former, thinly sliced wagyu beef is stir-fried with grated ginger, onions and sweet sauce, then laid on top a bowl of pipping hot niigata rice. The slices of meat were tender and the sweet flavours from the sauce was subtle and enjoyable. The addition of the onsen egg gave it a creamy bump followed by their pickled radish to cleanse your palate before the next scoop. Accompanying the rice bowl is a portion of oden soup, which is something different as compared to your usual miso. The oden is served with konnyaku, daikon and fish cakes, ending your meal on a sweet note.

The beef were well-executed, boasting a slight pinkish middle. While it was tender and juicy with mild smokiness, I wish that it was even more tender for greater satisfaction!

Their presentations were definitely on point💯! Not forgetting, they boast a wide range of sakes to complement their quality and delicious food. Feel free to hit the friendly staff up for sake recommendations! A good pairing truly elevates the dining experience and inspires moments of enjoyment and pleasure.

The delicate flavors and quality fresh seasonal offerings, coupled with attentive and friendly service definitely warrant repeat visits!
