Nada Natural Farming: Cafe On A Farm With Farm-to-table Dishes & Mountain Views

Nada Natural Farming in Penang

Penang is awash with drool-worthy food. Besides the must-visit hawker stalls, there are plenty of cafes that we enjoy spending time at for good food and ambience on our days off. One spot that nature lovers will want to add to their ever-growing list of cafes to visit in the state is Nada Natural Farming in Balik Pulau.

There is a rustic cafe tucked within the farm, with a menu of dishes crafted from fresh produce grown right on the estate. You’ll also be treated to gorgeous views of nearby mountains and dine right next to a farm field, for a quick back-to-nature escape.

The cosy cafe on the farm makes good use of its natural surroundings too. It operates out of a rustic shack-style space with al-fresco dining, and is decorated with hanging exposed light bulbs and topped with a roof overgrown with greenery.

Do note, however, that seats in the cafe are limited, so you’ll need to make a reservation prior to your visit with your pals or pups to avoid disappointment.

As the cafe is located on a farm, it offers patrons farm-to-table dining with ingredients for their dishes sourced from their estate.

Start off with an appetiser – Hand-cut Russet Potato Fries, seasoned with your choice of anori flakes and garlic mayonnaise (RM18), apple chilli sauce and sour cream (RM20) or truffle oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano (RM20).

Or go for their Russet Potato Croquette (RM22), another crowd-favourite, for potato balls that are fried to perfection and crunch delightfully when you bite into its golden exterior.

For mains, their pasta dishes comprises fresh flavours of herbs and aromatics, and are made from scratch – from the pasta noodles to the sauce. Some dishes with generous portions you can order here are Meatball Bolognese (RM33) – made fresh and sweet with basil and tomato – the classic Carbonara (RM33), or Prawns and Clams (RM38) loaded generously with fresh clams.

Their homemade Kefir (RM25/bottle) is a house speciality and also a must-try at the cafe. The refreshing soda comes in a variety of flavours, such as passionfruit, nutmeg with lime, a mixture of berries, butterfly-pea, and pink guava, that’ll cool you off on a hot summer day.

Due to popular demand, the cafe now offers delivery services for their kefir (RM78) drinks, sold in a set of eight bottles with different flavours.
