Mei Mei

We ordered:
*Kaya Toast Set (with soft boiled eggs and kopi gu you)
*Nasi Lemak (coconut rice, sambal, peanuts, anchovies, cucumber, fried egg and deep-fried chicken)
*Hainanese Chicken Rice (poached fragrant chicken on rice, cucumber, coriander and chilli garlic sauce)
*Singapore satay set - this was gifted (chicken, beef or mix with peanut sauce)
*Teh tarik ('pulled' Singapore Nanyang tea + condensed milk)
Mei Mei is a restaurant based in Borough Market. The closest tube stations are London Bridge and Borough. It’s run by award-winning chef and friend Elizabeth Haigh. Liz has competed on BBC’s Masterchef, featured in British Vogue’s Forces for Change issue and was the founding head chef at Pidgin which was awarded a Michelin Star within a year of opening under her guidance.
I’ve always loved Liz's cooking but this was my first time trying the dishes at Mei Mei. The menu includes Singaporean brunch items, rice sets, curry, satay, fried carrot cake and a selection of beverages.
For those who love condensed milk, you’ll love the sweet and creamy kopi and teh - you can also have it served without sugar

Laksa Mania
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We ordered:
*Melaka Curry Laksa
A bit of hot and sour, with a dash of sambal (Malaysian shrimp based curry paste) - very Nyonya. Yellow egg noodles & rice vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts, bean curd puff, shredded egg, fish balls, king prawns
*Penang Assam Laksa
A particularly popular Laksa in west Malaysia. A rich fish broth is cut through with the sweet and sour from lime and tamarind. Udon noodles, flaked mackerel fish, red chilli, shrimp paste, pineapple, cucumber, onion
Laksamania is a 7 minutes walk away from Oxford Circus tube station. Founded by Malaysian chef Danny Tan, the restaurant aims to showcase traditional favourites, unique dishes and the famed street food culture to the people of London. Danny started as a chef at just 17 years old and went on to work at various restaurants in Kuala Lumpur including Hotel Shangri-La.
There’s also a vegan menu available with Danny’s take on classic Malaysian dishes with a plant- based twist.
