Big Daddy BLBC, Reuters Plaza - £6.50

Having discovered the Brick Lane Bagel Company doesn’t appear to have an awful lot to do with the actual Brick Lane and its muchlauded bagels, I was initially sceptical about what would come out of the black concertinaed kiosk near the Tube station’s main exit.

But the warmth and unapologetic Essex charm of the lady serving up this breakfast heavyweight won me over. Packed with sausage, bacon, egg and potato latke, it’s essentially a full fry up crammed into a bready, satisfying bagel – a tasty amount of food for the price that comes from a place of generous honesty. It’s big, it’s clever. Who’s the daddy?

In the latest of our Cost Of Whar ng match-ups, we taste two newcomers to the estate to nd out which o ers the best bang for your bucks

Chicken Pho Pho, Jubilee Place - £10.95

While pho in Vietnam is commonly eaten as a breakfast food – thus making it at least vaguely comparable to a bagel full of pork products – newly arrived Pho doesn’t open its doors until noon.

Occupying a narrow patch of Jubilee Place’s food court, it o ers a bustling table service to those who need to order, eat and depart rapidly.

The pho itself is reassuringly warm and friendly – a clear, fragrant bath of chicken breast, noodles and veg plus a plate of lime, chilli, beansprouts and herbs to make things more interesting. It’s decent. But paying £16.76 (including a lemonade plus service charge) just feels a bit much.
