Located in the heart of Central, Hong Kong, One MICHELIN-starred Duddell’s by JIA Group serves authentic Cantonese cuisine within a beautiful gallery space. Available for both lunch and dinner from 30th October until 8th December, Executive Chef Chan Yau Leung unveils exclusive new menus featuring hairy crabs farmed in Lake TaiHu, Jiangsu Province. The coveted hairy crab is a seasonal delicacy renowned for its sweet flesh and buttery roe, available now for a limited time at Duddell’s Hong Kong within an eight-course tasting menu and chef’s limited edition specials.
Renowned for their unique characteristics and exceptional taste, hairy crabs from Lake TaiHu in Jiangsu have earned a well-deserved reputation for being truly special. What sets them apart is the pristine environment in which they thrive. Lake TaiHu’s nourishing waters, abundant with rich nutrients, provide the ideal habitat for these crustaceans to flourish. The crabs’ distinctiveness lies in their hairy appearance, which signifies their maturity and the optimal time for harvest. Beyond their striking appearance, these crabs boast incredibly succulent, sweet, and delicate meat, making them a delicacy sought after by gourmands.
