Elizabeth Haigh has been making products under her Mei Mei restaurant brand to sell during lockdown and now she has announced her next big move. Twice-weekly fine-dining supper club Bā launches on Friday 17 July at her Borough Market site.
Fans of Haigh’s previous supper club Kaizen House and her food at Pidgin, where she earned a Michelin star, can expect a return of this style of cooking. The 16-seater experience – on Fridays and Saturdays -incorporates Haigh’s Singaporean background with her passion for wood-fire cooking, served chef’s table style around the Mei Mei stall. Translated as the lucky number eight in Chinese, Bā will be an eight piece set menu.
Starting at £45, option one is to book the eight-course menu with dishes including heritage tomatoes with Hainanese chicken broth vinaigrette, spring onion oil, raw onion and herbs and aged dexter beef rib with roasted pepper and blue rice. Wine pairing selected by Haigh’s friend and sommelier Honey Spencer is an additional £35. Option two is booking a spot for the smaller bar menu, featuring nightly specials ‘from the bbq’, ‘from the market’ or a rice bowl, for £25.
Haigh will continue to run Mei Mei’s daytime food menu and offer products at Mei Mei Market & Deli, selling goods such as Singapore curry powder, Sambal chilli paste and meat rendang spice box.
Available two evening a week, with one sitting from 7pm, reservations are essential and tickets can be purchased at the time of booking. Check out the Bā Instagram here for more details and to book.
