Catalyst, DF, have either of you actually tried the new Boa place?


Its quite good and if either of you haven't its really not fair to slag off a new local business on that basis. Its incredibly hard and very risky to start a new venture (as DF actually knows).

Asking whether DulwichFox has tried Mr Bao is like asking whether I've bought the new Michael Buble album. It ain't going to happen - but we're still going to let you know our opinion.


Besides, who wants to try something new, when you could have a granary roll. With a nice bit of corned beef.

No.. I went passed at midday one day last week but they were not open at the time and no sign of life..


There was a box of the said White Bread Baps (as featured on web-site) on the floor..

.. and there were only 4 options of fillings on the menu in the window...

.. so I was showing genuine interest.


It's not a case of having tried it. I do not eat White Bread Baps..

.. and just do not get the Taiwanese connection

So... I did not slag anyone off.. You are the only one slagging someone off.

DF- they aren't white bread baps. I've actually eaten there and they are nothing like that. Again, be a decent human being and stop misrepresenting what this shop is selling and suggesting a place you've never eaten at is substandard in some way.


I know this is a game to you but you are messing with someone's livelihood who is putting their neck out trying to do something new.

It's a snack originating from Taiwan : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gua_bao


Although Mr Bao is more kind of fusion, with fillings like Bao Benedict, prawn with guacamole, etc.

They don't pay the London Living Wage. Sad.

I got there later yesterday just as they were reopening after a problem with the oven, which is why they were shut when you tried to go in. Normally open from one. Had a very good burrito, will be back!

Sorry to get off the Mexican/Latin American subject, but anyone know what's going on with Cafe Noodle, on LL next to Franklin's? It seems to be getting progressively shabbier, and closing for more and more extended periods. And why is the Haus of Wood refurb taking forever when people seem to be able to get roof extensions done in a week 'round 'ere?

I think Cafe Noodle may be on it's way out.. It has been closing at 10.30pm for a good while now.. but sometimes earlier.


The lady there is very nice.. I spoke to her about the shop some time back.. Can't for the life of me remember what is

going on there. I think it is another rent issue...


... Mr Liu is closed/closing soon for a short while for a refit...

Potager (on the corner of FHR and Dunstan's) is coming along: there are workmen in there often and what looks like a counter is in place.

The old laundry (sounds like a posh restaurant) is meant to be something foodie, according to one of the workmen I asked several months ago.

Yes I've been twice.I don't see how saying I'm not that into the latest street food trend being repackaged as a semi-formal dining concept is slagging off a business. I'll just keep going to their tapas place instead which I happen do like.

      Lost Cat On North Cross Road?

      By joseph holly · Posted

      We went to look for the cat again this evening. There was no sign of it. Can other people also look out for it too? Please contact Cats Protection, Stray Cat Club or Celia Hammond (as mentioned in the posts above) if you see it.

      So do I (love a pound land) and wouldn’t want it to close but as it’s such a new store it does need to be an enjoyable experience.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By Castleton · Posted

      Recently I completed a pre-diabetes awareness course. Run by an outside agency at huge cost I expect, but I digress. After the course we are all expected to arrange our own blood tests.  When I requested from TJ I was initially treated with suspicion, i.e where did you get the pre-d course from! I explained it was from TJ and they refused to book on the phone, told me to use ASK MY GP link.  I explained this wasn't working for me, but no appointment was arranged. Eventually got ASK MY GP working, and requested bloods. About 8 days later I received a text link to book one. It took me every day of checking for 5 days before any appointments were available and then the earliest was a month away. Fine. Late Feb booked Got a phone call from the surgery yesterday, responding to the ASK MY GP request! Sorry? I'm confused, it's booked! (effectively after saying they won't book over the phone, this was literally what was happening) I then get a missed call from them, return the call and they say they have no idea why I was called.  Literally 5 minutes later someone calls again, my original booking can't ne honoured because it's too late in the day. Bear in mind this was FROM THEIR DROP DOWN MENU. I'm then expected to go online and book again! Beggars belief
