IN the hairy crab season, come to Grand Hyatt Shenzhen to enjoy hairy crab fever created by first-class Chinese chefs.

    The China Lodge and 1881 offer the top quality hairy crabs together with an array of hairy crab dishes. All the hairy crabs are directly from Yangcheng Lake, home of the best-known hairy crabs in China.

    The traditional way to cook hairy crab is to steam, which brings out the original taste of sweetness and flavor from the roe. Eat it with vinegar or soy sauce, along with ginger tea.

    Apart from the steamed hairy crab, chefs of these two restaurants also prepared other hairy crab dishes. The China Lodge has created braised hairy crab with dried scallops, braised hairy crab with Shanghai cake; while at 1881 diners can savor the steamed hairy crab with yellow wine and egg white, and popular wok-fried hairy crab with ginger and spring onion. Both restaurants are serving several types of warm Huadiao rice wine to go with the delectable crabs.

    Located on the ground floor of the hotel, 1881 is a stylish yet casual setting, providing a “dining in the kitchen” atmosphere that is complemented by a textural interior with artful lighting fixtures.

    The China Lodge offers an exclusive dining experience where guests can enjoy traditional Cantonese cuisine in one of 14 luxurious private dining suites on the 35th and 36th floors of the hotel.
