The Steamed Hairy Crab (清蒸大闸蟹) is prepared in one of the simplest cooking methods in order to savour the crab's natural succulence and sweetness, and complemented by a cup of ginger tea to balance out the yin and yang elements. Each guest will also enjoy a complimentary 150ml bottle of 8-year-old Chinese yellow wine, served slightly warm that helps to distribute the fattiness of the hairy crab on the palate, and coax out the delicate flavours of the prized crustacean.

1. Foie Gras with Tomato Jelly accompanied with Braised Hairy Crab with Diced Bean Curd served with Spring Onion Pancake (蕃茄鹅肝冻拼蟹粉豆腐葱油饼);
