It's hairy crab time! But it can be boring to just eat hairy crab the plain old regular way year after year so I was excited to try a series of dishes here made with hairy crab.We first started with a double-boiled fish maw soup with black mushrooms and Chinese cabbage which was very rich and flavorful while warming us up effectively. An appetizer platter to whet our appetite including deep-fried crab claws stuffed with minced shrimp, barbecued black pork with osmanthus honey sauce, chilled slic
We first started with a double-boiled fish maw soup with black mushrooms and Chinese cabbage which was very rich and flavorful while warming us up effectively. An appetizer platter to whet our appetite including deep-fried crab claws stuffed with minced shrimp, barbecued black pork with osmanthus honey sauce, chilled sliced abalone with jellyfish in sake and sauteed beef cubes with garlic. The braised egg white dumpling with hairy crab roe and scallop topped with bird's nest was appropriately light in flavor so as not to overwhelm the crab roe. The hairy crab cooked in 2 ways:
The baked crab shell stuffed with hairy crab roe, scallop and wild mushroom was deliciously rich while the steamed hairy crab was a bit lean compared to others I've had this season. The steamed glutinous rice with hairy crab in bamboo basket had all of us oohing and ahhing when it arrived with a whole crab on top of a sea of roe. It was my first time trying this combination of hairy crab and glutinous rice and I thought it tasted pretty good. The deep-fried crispy rice stuffed with minced shrimp topped with hairy crab roe and whole prawn was a really creative dish and I loved the different textures and flavors of the different ingredients. Lastly, we ended the meal with a cute chilled red dates and wolfberry pudding in the shape of a fish and a pan-fried ginger juice pudding. Both were refreshing to eat after eating a whole meal of hairy crab!
