NUTMAD — Restaurant in Kowloon

The restaurant is an upstairs boutique located between Ngau Tau Kok and Kwun Tong, not very close to the MTR station, inside an industrial building. The restaurant is brightly lit and the seating area is spacious. There is a wide selection of dishes available.

I ordered the Smoked Piggy Carbonara priced at $128, which not only looked impressive but also captured our attention before even tasting it. The pasta had a good texture and the flavor was enjoyable. The complimentary daily soup served at lunch was a bit mild in taste, but still acceptable.

A notable point to remember is that they only accept cash. Due to the open kitchen setup, one might leave with a slight lingering oily smell...

Second visit here. It’s rather hidden, if you have it on your google map it’d help but it’s definitely not one that you’ll just walk pass and be visible, as it is located up in a warehouse building. Coffee is ok and food looks very good but taste is very, very average, but we love that it’s quite hidden (not crowded), the sense of slowing down and you can tell that their kitchen staff are very diligent at work. Waiters on the floor are friendly although one might complain that service isn’t attentive enough but I love the chilled vibe, quite the opposite of the rushing culture in the rest of the city.

Edit: their lemonade is freshly made and...

The restaurant is inside an industrial building and not very easy to find but when you reach it you will be welcomed by the staff. I’ve tried carbonara piggy pasta and it was delicious. Finally a carbonara that use egg yolk and not some pre-maid cream sauce. Crispy bacon and pecorino dried up give the crunchiness that balance out the dish. The chef was very nice and welcoming, gave me a complimentary salad sourced from local farmer with chrysanthemum leaves which was good . The ambient was bright and comfortable. Overall a very good experience! Restaurant definitely recommended. I’ll be back. Kudos to the chef and the staff...
