FUTIAN SHANGRI-LA, SHENZHEN

PRESENTS THE SEASONAL HAIRY CRAB DELICACIES

Shenzhen, 10 October 2017—Autumn marks the start of the hairy crab season. In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, female crabs are filled with golden roe and their crab meat is tender and sweet; in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, male crabs are packed with creamy crab fat and their crab meat is succulent and rich. The delicious taste even left a famous Chinese poet exclaiming that hairy crabs in autumn are worth their weight in gold.

From now until 15 November 2017, patrons of Shang Garden can indulge in the flavours of autumn with a seasonal hairy crab set menu and other exquisite à la carte hairy crab dishes prepared specially by Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen’s Chinese Executive Chef Anthony Dong.

Besides classic dishes such as Steamed Hairy Crabs and Crab Fat and Tofu Soup, the crab set menu also features other innovative creations such as Sichuan-Style Fresh Shrimp and Stir-Fried Hairy Crabs with Pepper, a perfect combination of refreshing seafood with the spicy punch of pepper; Wholesome Softshell Turtle Soup with Shrimp and Hairy Crabs, with mutton to bring balance to the flavours; Fried Omelet with Hairy Crab Meat, with the chunky crab meat providing added texture to the smooth fried eggs and olive kernels.

Special à la carte hairy crab dishes include Huaiyang cuisine such as Golden Crab Meat Soup with Bird’s Nest, Hairy Crab Baked in Ginger and Garlic, Crab Meat and Pepper Tower in a Hot and Sour Sauce, and Crab Roe Soup Dumplings. 

The hairy crab menu highlights Shang Garden’s expertise in traditional Huaiyang, Cantonese and Sichuan cuisines, borrowing from the different styles to create exceptional flavour experiences. Only premium ingredients are used for each dish and special efforts are made to ensure that the ingredients remain fresh even when they are presented on the dining table.

In addition, in-line with Shangri-La’s strict food safety standards, traditional Drunken Crabs are made with steam-cooked crabs to ensure safety without compromising on taste.
