NOM – Not Only Meatballs (已結業)

Hokkaido scallops 不過不失，味道鮮甜，配料特別能帶出scallops 鮮味。Bone Marrow 這個是非常肥的菜，如果單吃應該是放不進口，雖然牛味十足，但真係太太太過肥了。個人並不喜歡他的配料，味道帶點辛辣，但與這道菜並不配。這個所謂的today special 真係一d都唔special，首先，說好的black truffle 不見了，而我又食唔到有truffle sauce，這個pasta 跟普通的免治牛肉醬意粉，大同小異，失望之選。

Very nice food from appetizer to dessert. I had smoked mozzarella and ham for appetizer, so tempting and tasty that I forgot to take a photo. Main was grilled baby squids on coleslaw with peanuts. Loveliest baby squids I've ever had!  There was also prawn slider to share, which was absolutely awesome (also so good that nobody remembered to take photo)! Dessert is ice-cream slider - fantastic!

星期五晚上7:30pm到達(book左)，未full house~ 未仔細講食物前，想説一句，食物係好好味，坐得舒適而且不會很多很多人在等~ 不過店員在用餐尾聲時每10分鐘就過來問可否收走剩餘的食物真的很煩，前後4至5次，其實我們很飽想再擺下先，其實當時又無人等，唔明點解要咁。而且一直幫你倒酒，好似想快d叫你開過支。問了店員recommendation, signature dish 係beef meat balls 同 seafood meatballs。3人行的我們叫了seafood meatball 作為小食，beef meat ball則作為main pasta。另外仲有帶子appetisers, Parma ham pizza~ 這裡酒的選擇也不少，我們也叫了枝Riesling 。btw slinders 原來係mini burgers~面包有2款，有一隻係脆餅質地，都不錯。食物很快陸續地送上，感覺大約20分鐘已經到哂，幸好我們坐沙發位，圓桌比較大。Seafood meatballs有3粒，每人剛剛好，紅色汁很好吃，未試過用海鮮混在肉丸中，好得意Parma ham pizza

已經是第二次來到NOM，他們曾經成為某個英文媒體，上年的十大新餐廳之一。記得這裡以前是死位，每間餐廳的壽命不到一年，去到NOM，總算扭轉了形勢。是日晚上，餐廳也有七成滿。閒話少說，NOM的全名為Not only meatball，上次來吃午飯的時候，果然點止肉丸咁簡單。近年喝得多威士忌，還有手工啤酒，Hey Ho ! To Go!的IPA，香橙，果皮，點點鹹的個性，let's go rock and roll！33 month organic Parma Ham Zavoli & smoked Mozzarella platter，軟熟鹹香的風乾火腿，配搭的卻是帶有當歸味的煙燻芝士，非常有趣。Beef meatballs，Neapolitanragout，paccheri pasta，ricotta cheese，是大廚的家傳秘方，像我們吃的肉餅一樣，世上只有媽媽好。鬆軟，有嚼勁的肉丸，以牛肉與豬肉混合，濃香深厚的醬汁，皆被長通粉與芝士吸得乾乾淨淨。Hokkaido scallop，pickled cauliflower，black pudding，broad beans puree的

「NOM」意指食野時間發出的聲響，如果一間店舖以此作招牌，相信是一間餐廳，而這間餐廳也以此命名，絕對令人聯想到了，可是大家又有些誤會了，此NOM的意思卻是「Not OnlyMeatballs」，NOM這個名字已令食客垂涎了。一直想來試一下，可是一直抽不到空，幸好今次與朋友到來吃飯，碰巧又有新Menu推出，終於可以一嚐。未開始前，先來一點麵包，以一個麵包袋盛著，配合了有黑橄欖碎的牛油。先來一點頭盤，【33 month organic Parma HamZavoli & smoked Mozzarella platter】給我一種很特別的感覺，那款煙燻過的芝士令人又喜又恨，喜就是味道很香很好吃，恨的是吃多了會很膩，可是又忍不住口不停地吃，以巴馬火腿包著來吃，煙燻香與火腿的咸香混為一體，好味。接著的是【Hokkaido scallop/pickledcauliflower/black pudding/broad beans puree】，清甜的帶子以牛油香煎，略帶微焦，以血腸來配合吃，一淡一濃，再以醃過的椰菜花及扁豆蓉，口感豐富。眾多款菜式中，最期待的是【Beef meatballs/Nea

Hashtag(#)相信無人不認識吧? 自己常用的hashtag之一是 #nomnomnom,到底nom是什麼意思？ nom是指當一個人在吃喝時，發出的滿足聲音，在外國較為常用。但Soho的NOM卻有另一種意思，NOM - Not only meatballs，就是為了強調，他們除了肉丸以外，意大利菜亦是餐廳的主要一部分。麵包都很不錯呢，鬆軟又有牛油香~Beef Meatballs $88 很興奮的是頭盤就有這個肉丸! 肉丸的底部是 Paccheri Pasta，即是大水管形的意粉，肉丸比一般的要鬆軟，應該是人手新鮮做的，不用多切便會散開。連意粉和Ricotta Cheese一起吃掉，口感要為豐富。33 month Organic Parma Ham Zavoli & Smoked Mozzarella Platter $258友人們愛喝酒，當然要叫上巴拿馬火腿~ 非常非常邪惡的 Mozzarella芝士，暫時是我見過的切得最厚身的! 煙燻過後的芝士，味道比本身的更為濃郁，帶有淡淡的焦香，感覺比凍食的為實在，一件已經覺得得飽肚。絕對是下酒的不錯前菜。NZ Reserve Beef Sh

最後兩天在中環，要跟好友道別。從沒好好珍惜一起上班的日子，來到倒數時才發現，從此以後，不能再結伴回家，不能再跟你訴說我又犯下愚蠢的錯，不能再天天相見⋯⋯ 原來這一切都不是理所當然。想試餐廳還有很多，選了有午餐供應的NOM。心想餘下的，晚餐應該還有機會吧。不錯的麵包，加點微暖就更佳。Baby spinach/ quinoa/ beetroot/ goat cheese挺喜歡這個沙律。菠菜葉新鮮爽口，藜麥粒粒分明，有咬口，還有慷慨的芝士和紅菜頭粒。羊奶芝士味道稍重，但配上其他清淡的食材，效果不錯。Baby lettuce/ tomato/ anchovies/ onion/ organic eggs蛋黃帶點濕潤，蛋味甚香。生菜新鮮爽脆，以鯷魚的咸香和少許黑椒調味，清新又天然。Stracciatella/ asparagus/ shaved black truffle把蘆荀刨成一片片，幾爽口，但混了偏咸的醬汁，有點過份了，幸好有希臘乳酪中和一下。沒想到，榛子和黑松露片的組合是如此夾。三道之中口感最豐富。Skate wing/ caperes & lemon sauce/ spinach店員推

When writing a food blog, I usually like to tell a little bit of a story that leads into the meal, sometimes it's pretty easy and other times, well, it can be more challenging. Very rarely do I have a few tales to tell, but it just so happened that with NOM, I had a couple. So, instead of wracking my head to cut it down to one, I'll tell both!NOM stands for Not Only Meatballs, which is ostensibly a specialist meatball restaurant that does serve considerably more than delicious little balls of me

一知道NOM開始有午市，毫不猶豫便相約一班同事去試試。3道菜的午市套餐，從菜單自選前菜和主菜，再配上店家精選的雪糕小漢堡，是不錯的價錢和組合。Once I heard about NOM launching lunch menu, I went trying with my colleagues without a doubt. A 3-course lunch set includes selective starter and main course, pairing with the signature dessert – Ice-cream Slider, with reasonable price and no SC. Really good deal.前菜有3款選擇，藜麥羊奶芝士沙律，非常健康的配搭。眾所周知，藜麥營養豐富，是當代的「超級食品」，這次配上少許蘿蔔、羊奶芝士和菠菜，簡單又美味的配搭。There are 3 different choices of starter, which is just perfect for us to share. Quinoa/Go

意大利菜中，肉球一向被視為傳統美食。尤其當初漂洋過海，去到紐約搵食的意大利人，因多從事體力勞動，對肉丸這種既美味又飽肚的comfort food更加趨之若鶩。每家意大利大媽都有自己的獨門秘方，百食不厭。香港似乎很少見到專以肉丸為主打的意大利餐廳。晚餐整桌肉丸？為免太飽肚，可免則免，午飯我吃得不多，反而可以一試。Rooket、Quinoa、Beetroot、Goat Cheese看到羊奶芝士，就被它吸引。果然口感很好，味道也頗濃郁。火箭菜份量也多，雖然不算非常新鮮，但也不過不失，反而紅菜頭很少。棋差一著的是原來藜麥（Quinoa）是這道菜的主角，份量也很多。雖然這種被稱為”印加之金”(Gold of Inca) 的健康食材近年大受歡迎，可惜自己不太喜歡它的味道，勉強將一大碗藜麥吃下去。Spaghetti Meats不可否認，這裡的Spaghetti做得很不錯，麵身厚實、彈口，尤其是麵質略為偏硬，很適合我的口味。美中不足的是醬汁偏咸，嚴重影響整體味道。另外，肉丸的味道雖然不錯，也沒有甚麼驚喜，可能期望太高吧？！NOM Signature Ice Cream賣相乖巧、討好。Vanilla雪糕

較早前有來過NOM晚餐, 蠻喜歡的. 不少肉丸的菜式都特別又好吃這次再來, 是試試他們的全新設計的午餐. 其實不能說我是第一批吃他們的午餐, 只是之前他們沒有午餐的, 最近第一次試, CP值蠻高的~ 沒辦法留在中環吃晚餐的話也可以試他們的午餐午市有套餐, $178一位, 有頭盤, 主菜, 甜點, 飲品. 這價位如果說要吃好一點的話是蠻划得來 Baby spinach | Quinoa | Beetroot | Goat cheese 近年藜麥大行其道, 高纖低熱量, 作沙拉又有咬口, 配甚麼沙拉醬汁都沒問題這款沙拉加上菠菜, 紅菜頭, 羊奶芝士, 味道一點也不單調, 特別喜歡羊奶芝士跟紅菜頭這樣的配搭 Smoked swordfish | Seaweed | Capers | Tomato 煙燻劍魚, 配上一些海藻,酸豆, 還有新鮮番茄, 十分清新劍魚吃起來味道較清, 作為開胃菜很適合. 不得不讚番茄每塊都很甜呢Beans soup | Gruyere cheese | Black truffle (add HK$ 20) 平常我不太喜歡吃豆類的東西,但這豆湯做得很不錯.豆子不會太硬,

I have always heard how good the meatballs here are, which made me really want to try them! 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 inc

I always wanted to try this place after I read about it in a magazine describing it as a restaurant that served meatballs of all kinds. And more. I decided to try out them out for lunch on my day off.Layout is dark and quite bar/pub like. Dark wood tables and floors with black sofa seats. It felt like a great evening drinks type of place.During weekdays, they have a lunch set menu that costs $178 with no service charge (however, $1 is added to your bill to donate to a charity). It includes a sta

Had a wonderful evening at NOM celebrating a friend's birthday. The atmosphere there is excellent - very lively and noisy (in a good way). Service is attentive without being overbearing and our waiter was very helpful.We started with the Hokkaido scallops with pancetta, cauliflower and black ink - they were cooked perfectly and you could taste all the individual components. And the Burrata starter was also tasty - the cheese was very creamy and worked (suprisingly) well with the watermelon.For m

Foodie knows the key to a perfect bite, always stays with 'a bit' meat, 'a bit' cheese and 'a bit' well-done sauce. Who cares that a lot! Especially you know you will be treated with a rich selection of fine ingredients and a good cooking way. NOM, opened about 4 months ago, is kind of place I described above, and I'm very happy to listen to the Chef's words where I figure out the resto is proud of their qualified selection of imported raw materials (including vegetables) and the way they are ma
