HAIRY CRAB SEASON IS UPON US AND SHANGHAI MIN RESTAURANTS IN HONG KONG IS BEST PLACE ON EARTH TO ENJOY THIS MID AUTUMN DELICACY!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
I KNOW MANY MALAYSIANS MAKE IT A POINT TO VISIT HONG KONG THIS TIME OF YEAR JUST TO EAT HAIRY CRABS! 

Of course you do get hairy crabs in Malaysia but they are hard to find and pricey. In Hong Kong they are a delicacy but not considered in the same league as shark's fin or abalone so you can eat hairy crabs in small mom and pop restaurants and cafes but since we are so highclass and trendy, why not enjoy hairy crabs in all their varieties in Shanghai Min restaurants which are only slightly more expensive than roadside stalls.

Shanghai Min’s Autumn Culinary Tribute to Hairy Crab in Hong Kong

Shanghai master chefs presenting innovative hairy crab menus
from 1 October to mid-December 2013

Shanghai master chefs are presenting extensive and innovative hairy crab menus in Hong Kong at Shanghai Min’s stable of nine restaurants extending from the island to Kowloon and the New Territories.

Shanghai Min is paying tribute to the autumn delicacy by offering ten gastronomic dishes from 1 October to mid-December. With “The Culinary Art of Hairy Crab” as the theme this year, guests may enjoy a leisure time with their families and friends while savouring the premium hairy crabs with rich golden crab cream and distinctive freshness, best paired with good vintage wine. The dishes will be served at Shanghai Min in Central, Causeway Bay, Tsimshatsui, Mongkok, Kowloon Bay, Sha Tin, Kwai Fong and Tuen Mun.

Since being founded in 1987 in Shanghai as a small eatery of just four tables, Shanghai Min is one of very few full service Chinese restaurant brands to branch out internationally.

The group’s flagship restaurant is atop One Peking in Tsimshatsui, the one and only Shanghainese restaurant offering spectacular panoramic Victoria Harbour views. Shanghai Min Macau is also one of Macau’s premier venues for traditional Shanghai cuisine.

Shanghai Min restaurants are distinguished by the brand’s winning interior design formula of homely nostalgic décor twinning classic art deco design of old Shanghai with contemporary Chinese glamour.

They extend the brand’s philosophy of an evolving menu of classic and exquisite but affordable Shanghainese delicacies created by master chefs using freshest, high quality ingredients.

About Shanghai Min

Launched 26 years ago, Shanghai Min evolved from a small Shanghainese eatery of just four tables – becoming one of very few local Chinese restaurant brands to branch out to international acclaim. 

Shanghai Min opened its first branch in Hong Kong twelve years ago and has rapidly developed into a renowned fine-food brand for exquisite, inspired and delightful Shanghainese cuisine by Shanghainese master chefs using fresh, high quality ingredients that wins universal plaudits of gourmands.

In December 2009, Shanghai Min opened atop One Peking in Tsimshatsui, becoming the flagship of Shanghai’s celebrated Shanghai Min restaurant group and the one and only Shanghainese restaurant offering spectacular panoramic Victoria Harbour views, taking the Chinese dining experience to a new level in Hong Kong.

Across the region, the Shanghai Min brand now has branches in Eastern China, Southern China and Hong Kong.
