OMITOFU, HAIRY CRAB SEASON IS UPON US AGAIN!
DELIGHT IN HAIRY CRABS AT SHANG
PALACE,
SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, KUALA LUMPUR
Autumn is the season for hairy crabs, and Shang
Palace at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur has a special promotion featuring
these crabs from 6 to 26 October.
Shang Palace Chinese Executive Chef Tan Kim
Weng has prepared dishes using the roe and meat of the crabs.
Traditional Steamed whole hairy crab is the
best way to eat the crab, delighting in the rich, eggy roe and sweet flesh. It
is served with a dip of black vinegar and shredded ginger.
The crab is
skilfully cut up at tableside to ensure the diner can easily extract the meat
from every part of it.
You can enjoy the crab in another style too -- Steamed
hairy crab with egg white and hua tiao wine or Steamed hairy crab with
glutinous rice and garlic sauce, and Braised crystal noodles with hairy crab
roe sauce.
Savour Braised bird’s nest with hairy crab roe
and crabmeat sauce, Braised lion head fish ball with crab roe sauce, Braised
home-made spinach beancurd with crab roe sauce and Braised organic vegetables
with crab roe sauce.
A hot, sweet ginger tea is served at the end of
the hairy crab meal to restore the yang balance to the body, as the crab is
considered a yin or cooling food.
Hairy crabs are highly appreciated for their
orangey curd-like roe from the female crabs, and the more liquid roe from the
male ones.
These Chinese mitten crabs, as they are also
called, are a prized and popular delicacy in Hong Kong and Shanghai at this
time, harvested from the famous Yangcheng Lake near Shanghai, and Lake Tai in
the same Jiangsu Province.
