Thinking of going to an authentic Shanghainese restaurant for Hairy Crab, this Michelin 1-Star restaurant came to my mind straight away. We booked this place two months ago but the attitude of their phone receptionist immediately gave me a bad impression and I questioned myself all the time if I made a bad decision. Gladly the food was indeed very good and the servers were also more friendly than the receptionist..🥂Stir-fried Hairy Crab Cream with Mung Bean Noodles $2680Claimed to have used 16 m

🥂Stir-fried Hairy Crab Cream with Mung Bean Noodles $2680
Claimed to have used 16 male hairy crabs to the dish, the golden yellow hairy crab cream was honestly very appealing. Every Mung Bean Noodles was covered by the cream and the flavour elevated after adding a bit vinegar to it. Truly amazing.
🥂Stir-fried Hairy Crab Claw with Chinese Kale
The hairy crab claws remained sweet and bouncy paired with the greenest part of the Kale without any bitterness. We found one or two shells left but it was acceptable. Again, the umami note was highlighted after adding some vinegar to it.
🥂Steamed Hairy Crab $700/pc
Charging $700/crab was indeed very expensive and we expected that they will open the crab for us like other places I tried before but they came to help only after we asked. The crab weighed at least 60g and the roe was extremely creamy and absolutely in season.
🥂Hairy Crab Cream Pot Rice $1280
A bit disappointed on this pot rice - way overpriced and not as rich in taste as expected.
🥂古越龍山$500
We ordered a bottle of yellow wine to pair the dishes but the pot cooled down easily. They definitely should find a better alternative to keep the wine hot.
I think this place is good to try when it’s hairy crab season. Their signature dishes were unbeatable but will I return? I guess no due to its high price point and service.
