[Shanghai Lao Lao] Hairy crab season is here
2018-10-29  496 瀏覽
Hairy crab season this year started off for me with Hairy Crab Roe dishes from 上海姥姥 Shanghai Lao Lao.
There are so many branches in Hong Kong.

I was captivated by the new menu.
As I was in Causeway Bay the other day, I went there with friends and we had other dishes as well.
++++++++
Marinated chicken in hua diao wine:
Started with the classic Marinated chicken in hua diao wine, delicious chicken infused with wine.
I always order this so that I can use the wine to compliment other dishes.
++++++++
Preserved egg in Sichuan style:

 0 讚好


This one was my favourite because the Sichuan paste goes well with the preserved egg.
++++++++
Spicy Tribute Vegetables:


The vegetables were crisp but the garlic is quite strong so be warned if you have a meeting afterwards as you will have a garlic breath!.
++++++++
Wok fried rice cake with Hairy Crab Roe:
 0 讚好

I am so glad I chose this as the rice cakes were chewy but soft enough for my liking.
The hairy crab roe was so good with the rice cakes that this could be the best pairing.
There was also Chinese cabbage in this dish so I didn't have to order the Chinese cabbage with crab roe.
++++++++
Assorted Mushrooms wrapped in Crispy Bean Curd Sheet with Hairy Crab Roe:

 0 讚好

This had to be the star of the show, the dish that was advertised on the poster, it was crispy with juicy mushrooms in the middle served with a generous pile of crab roe to compliment it.
++++++++
Scrambled Egg White with Hairy Crab Roe:
 0 讚好

Another classic dish was the scrambled egg white covered in an abundance of crab roe, great with rice.
++++++++
Steamed Pork Dumplings with Hairy Crab Roe:

 0 讚好

The pork dumplings are a must in Shanghai cuisine and these were bursting with rich crab roe and pork in the middle.
This is where the wine came in to play because it tastes so good with huadiao wine added to it.
++++++++
Panfried red bean pancake:


Dessert ended with a sweet touch with this crispy red bean pancake.
++++++
Finished with the warming Fresh Lemonade with Ginger and Honey and the Chrysanthemum tea with Wolfberries and Honey.

Will probably go again for the rice cakes.
