braised hairy crab with diced bean curd serv... (23/171)

Braised Hairy Crab with Diced Bean Curd served with Spring Onion Pancake, 蟹粉豆腐葱油饼 (inclusive in $208++ six course set menu).

Why hasn't Shang Palace receive it's Michelin star yet? So far everything I tried at Shang Palace were excellent, and their hairy crab menu is another fine example.

Pictured is a modern interpretation by Chef Mok, incorporating hairy crab into a thick concoction of hairy crab roe with diced bean curd. This is meant to be eaten together with a homemade pancake that was pan-fried to crisp golden brown with a hint of green onion (what I've pictured is my half-eaten pancake 😂, swipe for the full and original presentation). This is creatively paired with a foie gras filled with kumquat jelly and pomelo.
