Best-Value Restaurants in Central London | Cheap, but Not ‘Cheap Eats’ - Eater London

"Bugis Street Brasserie may be the furthest lengths someone has gone to get a decent bowl of chicken rice outside Singapore. Although well reviewed by Jay Rayner, he did miss a trick that Bugis Street specialises in the most austere of all deeply pleasurable foods: Hainanese chicken rice. Here, all is correct, a comfortingly salty bowl of broth; rice glistening with lip-smacking fat; and a well poached chicken, cream on cream, with colour only interrupting in the form of ginger, chilli and soy condiments. From the rest of the menu the laksa, Nyonya style, is also a winner; a balanced broth that never becomes too intense, with bouncy fishcakes and prawns heated in the broth just to the point of cooked." - Jonathan Nunn
