Simple Tastes Of Home

Bosslady Noodle Barwas a restaurant by Archie McLeish, Bash Redford and me. The intention of theproject was to bring a simple taste of home, Hong Kong style beef brisketnoodles to London.

My role was to runthe day-to-day operations of the business, to cook and prep for services and todesign brand related tasks with Archie.

The inspiration camefrom the proprietor of a famous noodle shop in Tai Po, Hong Kong, where I’vefrequented since I was 8 years old, which unfortunately shut earlier this yearafter many years of service. The name “Bosslady” comes from a Hong Kong slangfor ladies often running restaurant businesses and possessing a toughpersonality. Bosslady aimed to give Londoners a casual yet hearty approach to the food we Hong Kongers know and love.
