Guest chef Chan Chee Hoong from JW Marriott’s Shanghai restaurant serves up a special hairy crab inspired menu for a limited time at Liyen.

Shanghai Hairy Crabs at Liyen

For those living in the Yangcheng Lake region in China, the autumn season means the return of the hairy crabs, but you don’t have to be envious. From October 10 to November 10, Liyen Restaurant at the Ritz Carlton brings this delicacy over for the enjoyment of Ritz-Carlton KL guests and the public. Highly sought after for its savoury-sweetness and creamy roe, Liyen offers a setting so elegant, you won’t even have to peel your own steamed crabs if you decide not to. To augment your steamed crabs meal, a special menu of crab-inspired dishes prepared by Chef Chan Chee Hoong, are available to order: try the Steamed Shanghainese Meat Dumplings with Hairy Crab Roe, Braised Shanghainese Noodles with Hairy Crab Roe and Braised Bean Curd Casserole with Hairy Crab Roe. And if you miss it, the hairy crustaceans will return next year at JW Marriott’s Shanghai restaurant. But don’t miss it.
