Hairy Crabs have furry claws, which has also earned them the name “mitten crabs.” These crustaceans are mainly bred in freshwater, and are known for its roe and golden fat. Li Bai prides itself in sourcing our crabs from the famed Yangcheng Lake. Its meat is also said to have a ‘cooling’ effect on the body.
Did you know that there are certain seasons to enjoy the different gender (aka. roe) of this popular seafood? Both sexes also have different types of roe. Find out more here
Traditionally Steamed ($88, above) is the best way to enjoy hairy crab, which is why it is a staple in our seasonal menu. Another crowd-favourite is our Stewed Crystal Hor Fun in Claypot ($98).
If you’d like to have it as an accompanying or starter dish instead, we got you. Our ‘special’ Xiao Long Bao ($28) filling is infused with Hairy Crab, then steamed to perfection. Try our Braised Beancurd with Spinach & Crab Roe ($32) for a well-balanced meal, or have it in the form of Bird’s Nest ($98, cover image), also topped with crab meat & roe.
