Taiwanese favourite BAO Borough is the third permanent BAO restaurant from founders Shing Tat Chung, Wai Ting Chung and Erchen Chang.

The menu is inspired by the late-night grill establishments often populated by commuters across Asia – as well as the founders’ own stories, upbringing and travels around Asia – serving dishes such as chicken nugget bao, beef meatball, fried egg, and Borough curry. BAO Borough is also home to BAO KTV – BAO’s first karaoke room – and has one of the few Suntory highball machines in the UK, pouring whisky and sodas that bubble like champagne.

While researching her debut book, The Happiest Diet in the World, food writer thought a lot about the relationship between food, health and happiness. One of her conclusions is that, when it comes to living a long, healthy life, human connection is as powerful a force as good nutrition. And that human connection is something she finds in abundance at Borough Market. 💛

She spent a day at Borough exploring the stalls and talking to traders about how markets bring people closer not just to the food they eat but to the people who make and sell it. You can read the results in her heartwarming new article here: https://brnw.ch/21wKzNQ
