I love big crabs @Yixuan. Today, I'm sharing hairy crabs with everyone again!

As we enter the lunar September, it's the season for hairy crabs. The tasting period is too short, so if you like them, you have to eat them frequently. This year, I chose to taste the third crab at Yixuan in the Alva Hotel by Royal in Sha Tin. The restaurant is managed by Chef Bosco, whom I really like, and I have complete confidence in his dishes. Tonight, we chose the Autumn Crab Feast, which consists of nine dishes in total. I believe we will leave very satisfied. Yixuan's Appetizers include three types! First, we enjoyed the beautifully presented crispy wontons with crab meat and crab roe. The crispy crab meat wontons paired with the fragrant and fresh crab roe are a perfect match. The black vinegar pearls, similar to caviar, add a tangy flavor, and the crispy fried enoki mushrooms enrich the texture of the dish, making it spectacular. The Sichuan-style chicken rolls with spicy sauce include yellow oil chicken and black chicken, paired with a fragrant and spicy sauce. This dish is a nourishing delicacy immersed in a spicy flavor. The last appetizer is the lightly pan-fried shelled mantis shrimp with roasted pepper sauce! The mantis shrimp is thoughtfully shelled, making it very enjoyable to eat, and the roasted pepper sauce adds a stimulating flavor, making the freshness even more appealing. Yixuan's Soup~ Whole Coconut Stewed Fish Maw Soup! The milky white thick soup is boiling hot and has a sweet and fragrant taste. The stewed soup includes conch, pork, chicken, and coconut, as well as thick fish maw full of collagen. This nourishing and beautifying soup is hard not to love. Yixuan's Art~ Steamed Jiangsu Hairy Crab! Tonight, we tasted a giant 350g hairy crab from Jiangsu. It's rare to find such a heavy hairy crab nowadays. Opening the crab shell, we were very satisfied with the amount of roe! Besides the yellow roe, there was also my favorite white roe. The taste is rich, fragrant, and fresh, with excellent quality. If you are a hairy crab enthusiast and one is not enough, you can add an extra 350g hairy crab for a discounted price of $248 each to satisfy your craving. After eating hairy crabs, it's common sense to drink a sip of ginger tea! The restaurant perfectly presents Okinawan brown sugar ginger tea poetically, with tofu 'flowers' floating in the sweet and spicy ginger tea, making it visually appealing. Garlic Pan-fried 336-hour Aged Japanese Pork! Aged beef is common, but aged pork is quite rare. After such a long aging process, the meat flavor is more pronounced, but the meat juice remains rich, making the texture very charming. Paired with crispy garlic slices and sweet garlic shoots, the dish's flavor becomes more three-dimensional and lovely. Crab Roe and Crab Meat Braised Vermicelli! The thick crab roe and fresh crab meat blend with the vermicelli, giving it a chewy texture and a rich crab roe flavor, making it very delicious. Yixuan's Craft~ Kale Fried Rice! The fried rice is dry and tasty, with pork lard inside, making it very fragrant. Paired with fresh and tender scallops, it makes your mouth very happy. But I think the highlight is the crispy fried kale, which not only adds aroma but also texture, making me fall in love with this dish. Yixuan's Taste~ Dessert Collection! We had purple sweet potato osmanthus jelly and sesame cake. The contrasting colors of the two desserts are striking, but their deliciousness is equally attractive. The Golden Autumn Crab Feast set menu is priced at $988 per person (+10%), available from now until December 8th. Remember to book 72 hours in advance.
