On The Menu
A comprehensive but explosive menu sets the pace at Xia Mi Hao Liao, where live crawfish and hairy crab are the stars of the show. They are available in all-natural flavours that are hard to find anywhere else. Crawfish enthusiasts will indulge in the freshness of live crawfish at $48 for a 500g portion or $90 for a 1kg feast, while crab connoisseurs savour the sweetness of hairy crab available at seasonal price.
For the best experience, get cracking on the Signature 10 Spiced Crawfish/Hairy Crab, a dish that cooks up live shellfish in a sauce blend of 10 spices including Chinese cinnamon, star anise, Wurfbainia vera, bay leaf and licorice root. Punchy and powerful, it is a spicy indulgence that borrows the best numbing heat from mala but adds extra layers of fragrances from the other herbs and spices.
Also not to miss is the Steamed Crawfish/Hairy Crab, a dish made possible only with the freshest shellfish, never frozen, for the best flavour. The freshness of live shellfish makes it possible to steam with no additives whatsoever for the natural sweetness of the flesh to be highlighted.
For crunchy satisfaction, the Bi Feng Tang Crawfish/Hairy Crab sees the shellfish stir-fried with breadcrumbs and minced garlic on top of a medley of spices. It lends a veil of flavour to the shellfish that plays up its natural sweetness, making it an addictive beer-pairing option.
Completing the lineup are Spicy Crawfish/Hairy Crab that has shellfish doused in a blend of hot chilli and peppers to entice even the most discerning spice-lover and Minced Garlic Crawfish/Hairy Crab provides a lower in spice but equally high in taste profile.
Complementing your ultimate crawfish experience with sides like Lotus Root Fries ($16), crunchy thick cut lotus root that makes for an exotic alternative to the typical fries. Miss not Salt & Pepper Crawfish Tail ($32) and Spicy Crawfish Tail ($32) for the perfect pairing with ice cold beer.
