"What they’ve got:The Star Wars x noodles t-shirt we never knew we needed. Two words. Baby Yoda. Although it might feel like eighteen centuries back, Baby Yoda actually broke into our lives and hearts at the end of last year. Undeniably cute and from a simpler time when you’d never so much as uttered the words ‘Zoom Party’, Baby Yoda is the energy we all need in our lives this festive season. Especially when he’s depicted with a bowl of steaming ramen on one of Mei Mei’s t-shirts. They’ve also got a design featuring a couple of jolly cats, and you can always add a jar of kaya coconut jam into their stocking too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"How do step-by-step instructions, pre-measured ingredients, and the knowledge that you could eat Mei Mei’s nasi lemak at home sound? Pretty great, right. This Singaporean spot is delivering nasi lemak, bak chor mee, beef rendang, and a limited edition Singapore laksa. Hurry, they’re only making a limited amount to order online." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The Singaporian kopitiam spot in Borough Market has begun collection and delivery every Thursday to Saturday. Hainanese chicken rice, fried chicken, and more is on the menu. Order via app and check their Instagram for more info." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"You. A bench. The distant squawk of a seagull landing in the Thames. Mei Mei’s nasi lemak from Borough Market. Is there anything else you could possibly need? Well, maybe physical affection and a national ban on faux-inspirational ‘new normal’ TV adverts, but seeing as we can’t help with that, let’s focus on this coconut rice dish. Packed full of peanuts, fried chicken, and egg it’s perfect for a sit-down lunch on the river. You can’t go wrong with their kaya toast or Singapore curry either." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Despite only opening at the tail end of 2019, Mei Mei instantly became one of those restaurants that we now can’t picture London without. A 14-seat open kitchen counter styled on the kopitiams of Singapore, it’s right in the heart of the feelgood buzz of Borough Market. On the changing menu you’ll find things like assam fish curry, deep fried chicken rice, nasi lemak, and a fantastic coconut milk ‘Captain’s Curry’ that warmed the cockles of our grumpy little hearts on one particularly savage rainy Thursday. Although the seats here fill up quick, you can also grab anything on the menu to take away along with a bubble kopi and realistically, a big smug smile as everyone eyes up your kaya toast. Whether you bag yourself a seat at the counter or grab-and-go and find a bench with a view of the river, this place is perfect for a catch-up over coconut rice, dining solo, or a lowkey date where you want to show off with orange wine and some of the best Singaporean food in London." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
