Jimmy, a regular chef on ITV’s This Morning show and owner of Glasgow's multi-award-winning Lychee Oriental has spent months teaching the Shanghai Oriental kitchen staff to assist them increase their understanding of oriental cooking and design a menu that combines traditional flavours with modern cooking techniques.
Shanghai Teahouse has established itself as one of the top restaurants in Bothwell since its launch in 2019, and its new sister restaurant Shanghai Oriental aims to deliver a fresh contemporary approach to traditional Asian food.
Taking over the former Royal Bank of Scotland building on Union Street in Larkhall at 108 Union Street, the 65 seated restaurant also offers private dining and options for takeaway. Larkhall's new favourite oriental business will provide an outstanding dining experience, making it the ideal neighbourhood restaurant for residents to get a taste of the far east.
Shanghai Oriental is the ultimate dining experience, with a variety of oriental favourites on the menu such as Chicken Satay, Scallops with Ginger and Spring Onions, and Roast Duck in Plum Sauce. Diners are immersed in the stunning interiors of the newly transformed Royal Bank of Scotland site, mirroring the design of the best restaurants in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Chef Jimmy Lee commented: “I've been a chef for over 20 years, and it's been an honour to mentor the Shanghai Oriental kitchen team as they open their doors in Larkhall. The restaurant's cuisine features Chinese and Southeast Asian meals, with organic products used whenever possible. In addition, the crew here strives to combine the best in hygiene, food sourcing, culinary skills, and service.”
