They threaten a 40% surcharge for wasted food. I guess it’s 40% of the initial £5 but it’s not clear. Neeless to say there was not a dirty plate in the house.

I was particularly impressed that they do all you can eat chips to go with your all you can eat chicken curry. Delicious way to die.

Other thant that the food was fine. There were a couple of stray roc-hard rice grains that had baked under the lamp but the noodles weren’t bad.

There was a good crew of Camberwellians in there, all creeds and colours as you might expect locally. One guy seemed to have nodded off in his noodles which was odd but endearing. Others were more animated. The vibe was friendly. It was busy too — about £100 worth chowing down alongside me. That’s not including drinks.

Knock it when you’ve tried it. That said, I will reserve visits for post pint kebab alternative.

Kids eat for 2.99 by the way but a can of coke is 80p.

All in all it’s a welcome oasis of value in these economically barren times.

I’ve already eaten there more times than I ate in Mozzarella Pommodoro.

Those moaning about the nu decline of Camberwell should visit Penge, as a senior Dagmar did today. There is a pound shop there named THE ROBUST POUND. Fortunately there is also a Wetherspoons where Greene King IPA may be sunk for 99p.

There is an anglers’ shop, a runners’ shop, a specialist repro furniture shop (“MAHOGANY YEW OAK PINE”) serving the whole of fake soth-east England, and a guitar shop called Twanguitars which looks really good.

There is a monumental God’s castle (as tiny Dagmar calls ‘em) Congregationalist church with the strapline on its frontage, “Serving God for 100 years in Penge.”

A chap set it up in 1908. His wife survived him for many years, dying in 1971 aged nearly 100. So like in Camberwell, you set off to mock, and end up respecting what there is.

It’s (hopefully) part of the Change We Need.
