Every week we ask one of the country’s best chefs to choose their Eat cheap where they live and at home.

We’ve spoken to chefs across the UK, from Northern Ireland to Norfolk – and this week we’re focusing on London.

The capital is home to 80 Michelin-starred restaurants, almost half of the UK’s total. Instead of the usual Wednesday feature, we’re stretching it out across the entire week, with nine of the city’s most famous chefs giving their recommendations before making the rounds. all our London Chefs of the Year on Saturday.

This morning we speak to the Great British Menu 2020 finalist Kerth Gumbs, head chef at Fenchurch in Sky Garden.

Hi Kerth, wWhat’s your favorite inexpensive dish to cook at home when you’re spending an evening at home?

My favorite is the ramen with baked salmon, tenderstem broccoli and curried hard-boiled eggs. The ingredients for this cost less than £15 for two – I’m always satisfied after this meal and happy with my spending, and there’s room to spend on a nice bottle of wine as a treat.

A tip for making ramen noodles at home would be to add the flavoring powders to a bowl with an egg yolk and a little ramen cooking water. Whisk well, then add this mixture to your hot ramen to create a creamy, carbonara-like texture, giving a truly luxurious mouthfeel.

Can you tell us your favorite places around London where you can eat a meal for two for under £40?

My favorite cheap restaurant in London is something of a hidden gem: Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall in Edgware. I first discovered this style of dining when I was living in Singapore, and it’s honestly a must-try – you’ll be fascinated by the wide range of cuisines all under one roof, with dishes from Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese. and Singaporean to name a few.

I take my kids and my partner here often, and our usual order is special fried rice, fried noodles, and sweet and sticky beef. The portions are also huge, so it’s ideal for sharing. After ordering these three dishes, I will usually have some money saved to buy bubble tea.

I also love chef Jorge Pacheco’s recently opened Mishky at Hux, which serves a delicious selection of starters to share. The ceviches are a must. I’ll happily share two ceviches, two sides and two cocktails and settle for an early dinner within the £40 budget – it’s fresh and not too heavy.
