Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant

Sai Kung·$$

King Crab with Garlic Oil

HKD520.00

Oversized king crab cooked in garlic and oil, served in the shell.

Tip: King crab is priced by weight — confirm the per-catty price before ordering. These crabs are massive, so the total can easily exceed HKD 1000. Ask for the estimated total first.

Lei Yue Mun Seafood Village

Lei Yue Mun·$$

Chilled Flower Crab with Chilli Oil

HKD200.00

Cooked crab, chilled, and dressed with chilli oil, garlic, and aromatics.

Tip: This dish works best as a shared starter while waiting for hot dishes — the chilli oil goes well with beer and doesn't fill you up.

Rainbow Seafood Restaurant

Lamma Island·$$

Fried Chilli Crab with Crispy Rice

HKD380.00

Crab fried with garlic, chilli, and served with crispy rice cakes.

Tip: The crispy rice cakes are designed to soak up the chilli-garlic sauce — break them into smaller pieces and scoop sauce onto each bite.

The Chairman

Hong Kong Island·$$$$

Wok-Fried Pepper Mud Crab with Soy and Black Bean

HKD320.00

Flash-fried mud crab finished with premium soy, fermented black bean, and aromatic olive greens

Tip: Mud crab season is September to May; if not available, they won't serve an inferior substitute

The Chairman

Hong Kong Island·$$$$

Steamed Crab with Huadiao Rice Wine

HKD280.00

Whole crab steamed with aged Huadiao wine, finished simply to let the wine and crab interact

Tip: Request crab claw cracker and pick; the effort adds appreciation for the meat quality

Shun Kee Typhoon Shelter

Aberdeen·$$

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab

HKD450.00

Mud crab stir-fried with black beans, garlic, and chilli — the signature of the typhoon shelters.

Tip: This is non-negotiable — order it when you dine on the boat. The experience of eating this dish while floating on a traditional sampan, in the middle of Aberdeen Harbour, adds layers of meaning to the food.

Bamboo Village

Jordan·$$

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab

HKD420.00

Mud crab tossed over fierce wok heat with garlic, black beans, and dried chilli.

Tip: Order this after midnight when the kitchen has thinned out orders and can give your crab the attention it deserves — high heat for just the right amount of char.

Kui Kee Seafood Restaurant

Wan Chai·$$

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab

HKD380.00

Crab stir-fried with garlic, fermented black beans, and dried chilli over high wok heat.

Tip: Crabs are priced by weight — ask the price per catty and the estimated total before ordering to avoid surprise bills. A medium crab (around 1.5 catties) is the sweet spot.
