Mr Bao
Mr Bao offers a fantastic Taiwanese-inspired menu of steamed milk buns, soft as pillows, wrapped around everything from pork belly to ice cream. The food is complemented by cocktails, beers and specialist aged teas brought in from Taiwan. The menu is succinct, with an extra board of specials on display each week. The dishes come as small tapas-style plates so it is suggested that you order two to three buns per person and then a couple of sides as well. There really are some great flavours to be discovered.
Just a five minute walk from Peckham Rye overground station, Mr Bao is quietly tucked in among a string of shops on Rye Lane.

Not a good restaurant if you know your Italian food.

Lovely atmosfere but we went there to eat fresh fish and despite the chef reassuring us all fish and clams were fresh, it was not the case. The mozzarella di buffala was not buffala, I know because I am Italian and I have tasted mozzarella di bufala al my life. Gnocchi gorgonzola were like a pack of gnocchi from Tesco, definitely nothing to do with Italian pasta. The waitress were lovely but this is not a good fish restaurant for Italian standard.
