Is this the best Chinese food in Glasgow? I'm not so sure
Twenty minutes on the treadmill is surely a free pass for noodles and rice, right? I was a fan of this spot's previous incarnation as Salt & Chilli Oriental (also run by Lee), which had a relaxed street food feel and enormous portion sizes that would explain the pre-emptive exercise. The menu was short but sweet and no doubt driven by the city's enduring love affair with all things salt and chilli seasoning that sees restaurants and cafes sprinkle the stuff on everything from hash browns to 'haggis baws'. But Lychee is a different beast, vying to bring the cooler, more sophisticated vibes of its older sister restaurant, first established on Mitchell Street in 2015, to the Southside. While the interiors of the split-level venue on Kilmarnock Road have barely changed, the food offering is now hugely expanded, drawing inspiration from Chinese, Thai and Japanese cuisines. On a Wednesday evening, the place is busy with a mix of families, larger groups and couples. We're shown upstairs, where a tight fit between tables is just on the right side of cosy rather than cramped, before ordering a couple of soft drinks. On another occasion, I'd have been drawn to the cocktail section of Singapore Slings or Lychee Cosmos, which sit at a reasonable £8.50 each. There's a selection of salt and chilli dishes available at Lychee, so we're going for a portion of the squid starter (£7.50) to see if they've still got it, as well as Yuk Sung, spicy minced pork and chicken served with little gem lettuce leaves (£8.50). Though we've not requested them, a small bowl of prawn crackers arrives to munch on as we wait. Some early bonus points there. But, oh dear, that squid is looking awful peely-wally against cubes of green pepper and fiery chilli as our server approaches with the starters. Pictured: Starters of Salt and Chilli squid and Yuk Sung (Image: Newsquest) Close up, it's not much better. Whatever has happened between the journey from the kitchen to our table, there's not a hint of crunch left in these chunky strips of battered seafood slick with oil. There's a good hit of salt and chilli from a surface dusting of dry seasoning, but otherwise the spicy, moreish flavour fails to carry through to the rest of the plate. The Yuk Sung is more appealing. Mixed mince is firm and meaty, holding up in a bowl of soupy sauce that's to be spooned onto boats of lettuce leaves and eaten by hand. With the addition of pickled red cabbage, it's fun and fresh, if nothing more. My confidence in Lychee has been shaken slightly by the time the half-finished plates are cleared, but there's a lot of hope reserved for the main dishes. Pictured: Main dishes selected from the Specialities section of the menu at Lychee Oriental (Image: Newsquest) Both selected from the 'Specialities' section of the menu, the chicken claypot (£14.50) and roast duck (£18.50) are served in identical ceramic dishes. They won't win any prizes for presentation, but with this kind of food, looks don't matter all that much. It's all about the big, punchy flavours that emerge as you get stuck in. After a few spoonfuls of each, I'm still searching. Slices of duck are served with oyster sauce and mushrooms, while the claypot chicken, which sounded like the most adventurous of options on the menu, shares its red beancurd base with cloud fungus and Chinese sausage. The latter is my favourite of the pair, the delicate mushroom caps of cloud fungus and slivers of sausage adding intrigue and layers of texture where bland chicken pieces fall short. But there's not an awful lot that differentiates the taste of these two seemingly contrasting dishes aside from a hint of sweet nuttiness from the redbean. Come to think of it, I'm not sure that in a blind taste test they would be all that distinguishable from the sauce in the Yuk Sung starter either. Eaten with side dishes of wok noodles (£4.50) and egg-fried rice (£4.00), this trio could be from any local takeaway I've tried over the years, rather than a sit-down spot that aims to serve 'the very best Chinese food in Glasgow'. I wonder if we would have had more luck choosing from the crowd pleasers, like Hong Kong sweet and sour or crispy lemon chicken while picking out the best bits of mangetout and tofu skin from the leftovers. Read more: We'll remain seated a while after admitting defeat, but with no offer of a dessert menu, decide to forgo any sweets this time round rather than catching a server's attention. They've been incredibly attentive all night, so this feels like a small oversight rather than a real inconvenience, and we're keen to give them the table back as the restaurant starts to fill up. A quick check on social media later indicates that banana fritters could be the star of their sweet selection, so if that's your thing, be sure to hang around for pudding. I'm not sure what prompted chef Jimmy Lee's decision to transform his Salt & Chilli restaurant into a second Lychee branch, but as we leave, I feel a small pang of sorrow for the demise of a failsafe favourite. I suppose you never really do appreciate what you have until it's gone. Menu: It's a tantalising selection of dishes ranging from crowd pleasers like crispy lemon chicken to more adventurous claypot dishes. Plenty to choose from. 4/5 Service: Aside from a slight hiccup with the lack of dessert menu at the end, the team here is amiable and attentive. 4/5 Atmosphere: The upstairs of the restaurant is cosy, but there's not much room as bigger tables start to arrive. We never quite settle in before feeling we should vacate our seats. 3/5 Price: Lack of wow factor means £18.50 for the roast duck feels steep, but overall prices here aren't bad. They also run a set menu and lunch deals if you're watching your budget. 3/5 Food: I fully expected a knockout meal from Lychee Oriental, but found nothing to rave about in any of our dishes. 5/10 Total: 19/30 Lychee Oriental is located at 67 Kilmarnock Road in Glasgow.

Shetland's first Japanese cafe relocates to Glasgow
On the other side of the counter is a man I recognise from social media as Terence Tsao, who co-founded the original shop in Lerwick alongside Emilu Hasegawa with the aim of bringing a Japanese bakery experience to Shetland. It's no doubt warmer still working behind the coffee machine, yet Tsao is all smiles as he prepares a couple of iced coffees for takeaway customers in Shawlands. They've unfortunately sold out of the onigiri croissants (which have been causing a stir on Instagram in the run-up to opening) I'll hear him repeat a few times throughout my visit. But not to worry, there's still plenty of cream-filled matcha cake to go around. On top of that, there's a pastel-toned menu on each of the tables, listing fluffy pancake dishes for breakfast, sandos and salads prepared in the kitchen by Hasegawa. I'd imagine there's not much room to spare in the prep area of this small unit on Minard Road, once occupied by Silk Road Deli, but they're coping well with a steady stream of orders. Struggling in the heat, I decide to investigate the Kagigori shaved ice desserts, which come in a range of three different flavours with toppings like red bean and matcha, or fresh strawberry and crushed Oreos. Only available to sit in, these cartoonish, colourful creations are heaps of fun and sure to appeal to any young visitors. My choice is inspired by Mount Fuji, with a blue raspberry base that's topped with homemade ice cream to emulate a snowy peak and a scattering of dainty mini mochi balls to finish the whole thing off. Heed my advice and get stuck in fast, as the delicate ice quickly melts into a pool of slush. Still enjoyable, just an awful lot harder to scoop. Not wanting to take up a seat for too long on opening week, I ask for my sando to go, leaving a little time to browse a small but brilliant selection of branded Showa merch like t-shirts, tote bags and coffee beans as I wait. The team clearly have an eye for design, echoed in the shop interior that's been kitted out with retro figurines and bold, graphic prints. "It's a place we've made with care, and we hope you'll feel it the moment you step inside," they previously said after announcing plans to move Showa from Shetland to Glasgow late last year, and they've very much succeeded in this. Pictured: A takeaway sando from Showa Coffee House in Shawlands (Image: Newsquest) Resisting the urge to splurge, for now, I walk back out into the sunshine with a takeaway box containing the 'Onsen Egg Hamu Sando'. Thin slices of doughy white bread hold together layers of cheese, ham and a soy-marinated soft-boiled egg sliced through the middle so that its gooey, yellow centre oozes slowly when pressed. With lashings of kewpie mayo and a little crunch from thinly shredded lettuce, it's a solid lunch offering. I've got my eye on the chicken katsu version for future visits, though the 'beef and egg wee group pancakes' with square sausage, cheese omelette, a touch of golden syrup and a spoonful of beans is hard to ignore. I can safely say that's the first time I've seen this combination of breakfast items on a menu, and it begs to be investigated. In Shawlands, where a high concentration of independent coffee shops and cafes can make it difficult to stand out from the crowd, the wonderfully quirky Showa is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Showa Coffee House is located at 34 Minard Road. Find them on social media @showacoffeehouse.

Matsudai Ramen and Halen Môn Launch Kit Collaboration
Matsudai Ramen, Wales' cult ramen joint, and Halen Môn, the Anglesey Sea Salt company, are to launch a new collaborative ramen kit. The new shio (salt) ramen kit has been created by the Matsudai team to showcase Halen Môn's salt products – and particularly its smoked salt and smoked water. The bowl features a light, golden chicken and seafood soup, a new Halen Môn shio tare (secret seasoning sauce), wild garlic oil, hand-pressed noodles and pork loin chashu cured in Halen Môn smoked salt. Since 2021, Matsudai has delivered tens of thousands of ramen kits to every corner of the UK, receiving praise from such culinary heroes as Tim Anderson, Andi Oliver, Big Has, and Melissa Thompson and appearing in articles in the Observer, the Mail, the Independent, BBC Good Food and many more. In early August 2022 they opened Wales' first dedicated ramen shop – a flagship restaurant in Grangetown, Cardiff. Guardian critic Jay Rayner visited the restaurant soon after, calling it 'inventive, geeky and superb'. To launch the new kit collaboration with Halen Môn, Matsudai will be hosting a pop-up lunch and dinner club with Halen Môn's Tide cafe at the saltcote on Anglesey on 10th July. The pop-up will showcase the recipe from the new kit, alongside a richer soup alternative and a vegan version. The ticket price includes a bowl of ramen and a selection of additional small plates and desserts, which also showcase Halen Môn products, will also be available to buy on the day. The Matsudai x Halen Môn ramen kits will be available to pre-order from 27th June for delivery between 18th July and 16th August. Tickets for the pop-up event at Halen Môn are available to book now online. James Chant, founder of Matsudai Ramen said: 'We've been using Halen Môn products in our cooking for years – salt-based shio ramen is a fundamental style in Japanese ramen – so, with Halen Môn's products being so untouchably brilliant, it felt like a perfect fit for us to collaborate. We've made good use of Halen Môn's smoked salt and water, to accentuate the depth of the flavours that we bring from our long-cooked soups and marinated meats and vegetables. We've wanted to do this for ages and I'm really pleased to bring this idea to life. 'As a business that was founded on running pop-ups, we're looking forward to the experience of cooking on the beautiful Anglesey coast. It's an opportunity for North Walian fans of our kits to taste what we do in-person, and to bring something a bit different to the menu at Tide.' Halen Môn has built an international reputation for its iconic hand-harvested, organic-approved Welsh sea salt made from Anglesey sea water and its range of seasonings and condiments that celebrate the best natural ingredients. It launched its artisan smokery business in 2008 with smoked sea salt, and has since developed a range of ingredients, popular with top restaurants and chefs, including a Great Taste award-winning Oak Smoked Water. Jess Lea-Wilson, brand director at Halen Môn, said: 'We're big fans of the Matsudai kits and always looking for new recipes, dishes and cuisines to showcase the versatility of our naturally-produced salts and seasonings. 'Having invested in the visitor experience at Tide over the winter, we're really pleased to make the most of the opportunity this summer to welcome in the community around us here in Anglesey, showcase amazing Welsh culinary talent and bring new events to the island.'
