Pictures: Bull In A China Shop, Carolina Are, Jack Oughton Un nuovo ristorante asiatico ha aperto le porte al pubblico a Shoreditch High Street, con la promessa di servire hamburger di pollo fatti con pane nero affumicato e whiskey giapponese.
Sapevo che Bull In A China Shop sarebbe stato un successo quando ho scoperto che i proprietari erano Stephen e Simon Chan, il team responsabile del del mio ristorante cinese preferito qui a Shoreditch, The Drunken Monkey.
Situato in un pub Dickensiano abbandonato a Shoreditch High Street, Bull In A China Shop è più piccolo di The Drunken Monkey.
Bull in a China Shop è aperto tutto il giorno e, tra gli altri piatti da provare, offre pollo fritto con whiskey, insalate e panini orientali bao, frullati e porridge di riso.

This bar feels like that.
Behind the long copper bar top you'll find welcoming faces and even more welcoming shelves creaking with bottles.
But the choice isn't overwhelming, the selection here feels well thought out and includes some bottles that can't be found anywhere else in the capital.
Care is taken to ensure every drink is not just good, but outstanding - even the water glasses are chilled.
But it's not snobby or pretentious; you needn't worry about how you sit or hold your glass here.

Bull in a China Shop - bar review: instant classic in Shoreditch ...

What they say: Opposite the iconic Tea Building in Shoreditch sits an all-day restaurant and whisky bar with a subtle hint of the Orient.
Order: The chamomile and charcoal Old-Fashioned (Nikka Yoichi 10 year old whiskey, homemade chamomile syrup, bitters, charcoal, coconut) is rightly the house favourite: it looks like oil but tastes like gold - watch the video above to see how to make your own.
Others to try include the Wabi/Sabi (whisky, cocchi vermouth, torino, Matcha green tea syrup and black walnut bitters) and the Apricot High Ball (Nikka whisky from the barrel, apricot jam, apricot brandy, soda) for any whisky-sceptics.
Good for: celebrations, commiserations, date nights, friends, anniversaries, birthdays, bar mitzvahs... everything, in short.
And get stuck into the menu: the chicken burger in a charcoal bun is a must.

From the team behind nearby bar and dim sum parlour The Drunken Monkey, a destination bar-restaurant featuring Japanese whiskies and rôtisserie chicken.
And when you read their website, it does little to alleviate fears: ‘Our menu boasts eggs benedict, superfood salads, charcoal bun sandwiches, and Asian-spiced whisky glazed rotisserie chicken.
Our bar serves an extensive selection of over 30 rare and premium whiskies, hailing from Japan and Scotland.’
The spirits selection makes it a proper whisky destination – it has more Japanese whiskies than anywhere I’ve seen in London, from the cool Nikka From the Barrel to rare Karuizawa bottlings.
No bull: this Bull is a great place and a destination for whisky fans.
