All 5 Mud Crab Dishes
#1
Mud Crab with Roe
Yong FuWan Chai·$$$$
HKD228.00
Live mud crab prepared simply to showcase the meat's sweetness and the roe's richness.
Tip: Ask which female crabs with roe are available — availability varies daily. The roe is the luxury element worth the premium price.
#2
Fried Chilli Crab with Crispy Rice
Rainbow Seafood RestaurantLamma Island·$$
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.

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab
Shun Kee Typhoon ShelterAberdeen·$$
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.

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab
Bamboo VillageJordan·$$
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.

Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab
Kui Kee Seafood RestaurantWan Chai·$$
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.
