Harden's says
On the edge of Borough Market’s new ‘Market Kitchen’ showcasing street food, ex-Pidgin chef, Elizabeth Haigh, is the zone’s biggest catch. Here, she returns to her Sinagaporean roots at this tiny stall, with 14 seats, mostly at the counter (there is a table). Amidst the clatter of the market and railway arches, it’s not a choice for comfort merchants, but does have it’s own lively charm. You can grab a very superior snack by day, Hawker style, or – Friday and Saturday nights – book for an eight-course tasting experience. Early reviews have been uniformly upbeat, including numerous utter raves.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“The tastes of Singapore” are still applauded at ex-Pidgin chef, Elizabeth Haigh’s hawker-style stand (winner of Harden’s Top Street Food in our September 2021 London Restaurant Awards), which sits amidst the clatter of the Market Kitchen area of Borough Market. But feedback was much more muted and a little more uneven this year, and it’s hard not to conclude that the furore surrounding the cancelled launch of her recipe book hasn’t taken some of the gloss off impressions here.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
