Jimmy Lee's Salt & Chilli Oriental street food pop-up to launch in Glasgow's west end

The best of Hong Kong's street food is coming to Glasgow's west end with the arrival of Salt & Chilli Oriental.

Set to be launched later this month by award-winning TV and Lychee Oriental chef Jimmy Lee, the exciting new food venture will see 'A mash-up of East and West, Old and New and Salt and Chilli' on Dumbarton Road.

Work is already underway to transform the former Ninja Turtles Pizzeria at 911 Dumbarton Road ahead of a March 25 opening, with Glaswegians licking their lips at the prospect of 'Cantonese street food reimagined, remastered, and given a playful twist.'

The menu will include the likes of katsu chicken bao buns, tangy Peking ribs and an entire 'signature Salt & Chilli' menu.

The team behind the new pop-up say: "Salt & Chilli Oriental will serve comforting Chinese classics alongside curious fusion concoctions, mixing conventional Hong Kong street food with a strong dose of modern Glasgow attitude.

"From tangy Peking ribs and chicken satay with spicy dip to bao-filled katsu chicken or pulled aromatic duck as well as the signature 'Salt & Chilli Menu' with options of chicken, king prawn, crab, calamari or tofu salt & chilli - all served with yutaka slaw. The menu will be homely and hearty Cantonese with 'small bites' available for £5 and 'big bites' including katsu chicken curry and Macau beef curry from £8."

Ahead of the new opening, chef Jimmy Lee said: "Salt & Chilli Oriental offers a small range of innovative, broadly Chinese-inspired dishes to Glasgow's West End. If you’re jonesing for some fast Asian food, our menu is packed with must-have items and is an exciting new addition to the West End's rich and diverse culinary scene".

Customers will be able to order for delivery or collection from Salt & Chilli Oriental's pop-up home at 911 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow G11 6NB, from Thursday March 25th at 16.00pm.

Opening hours will be weekly Tuesday - Sundays from 4pm - 9pm. You can find the full menu and delivery information at www.salt-chilli.co.uk.
