For seafood enthusiasts, autumn officially begins when the first plump hairy crabs hit the table—and this year, Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers is making that moment more indulgent than ever.
Hong Kong’s dining scene welcomes the season of golden roe and sweet crustacean meat as The Café at Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers launches its highly anticipated “Global Crab Extravaganza” buffet, running now through November 30. Executive Chef Paolo Federici and his culinary team have curated a spectacular spread featuring over 100 international dishes, with the spotlight firmly placed on more than a dozen crab preparations sourced from premier fishing grounds worldwide.
Teppanyaki-Grilled King Crab Legs and Steamed Hairy Crabs Take Center Stage
The dinner service delivers the evening’s most talked-about attractions: unlimited teppanyaki-grilled Alaskan king crab legs, expertly charred to lock in the meat’s natural sweetness. The smoky aroma draws diners across the room, while the first bite reveals remarkably plump, juicy meat that practically melts on the tongue.
Alongside this showstopper, the buffet presents a distinctly Cantonese autumn tradition—all-you-can-eat steamed hairy crabs. Each crab arrives glistening with vibrant golden roe, its creamy, unctuous texture elevated by a dip in fragrant Zhenjiang black vinegar. The combination of sweet crab meat and rich, custard-like roe creates an unforgettable flavor profile that has crab aficionados returning for plate after plate.
A World Tour of Crab Dishes
Beyond the headline acts, Chef Federici’s team has crafted an impressive array of regional specialties that showcase crab’s remarkable versatility:
Hong Kong Classics: The beloved typhoon shelter-style fried soft-shell crab delivers a satisfying crunch with its garlic-laden, golden exterior, while steamed crab with minced garlic, glass noodles, and crab-meat-glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves offers deep, savory comfort. The rice absorbs every drop of crab essence, resulting in a dish that is both humble and luxurious.
Southeast Asian Flair: The boldly spiced Singaporean pepper crab provides a punchy counterpoint to the milder preparations, while Thai yellow curry crab served in a warm bread bowl invites diners to mop up every last drop of the aromatic sauce.
Western Elegance: For those seeking refinement, the crispy crab croquettes with melted cheese, oven-baked crab shell, and creamy crab cakes showcase the sweet meat’s delicate nature. The seafood paella studded with crab and assorted shellfish offers a generous, saffron-infused centerpiece for the table.
Chilled Seafood and Japanese Delicacies
The ice display remains a formidable destination in its own right, featuring snow crab legs, flower crab, brown crab, and Chaozhou-style chilled crab—a Southern Chinese preparation that highlights the crustacean’s natural brininess. Diners can also enjoy signature Boston lobster, freshly shucked French oysters, and whelks, all at peak freshness.
The sashimi counter sources premium Japanese ingredients daily, including yellowtail, scallops, and salmon. On Friday through Sunday evenings and public holidays, the culinary team stages an impressive whole-fish carving performance, adding theatrical flair to an already memorable meal.
Decadent Autumn Desserts
The grand finale comes courtesy of the hotel’s pastry team, who have incorporated seasonal ingredients into an elegant dessert selection. The Japanese chestnut cream roll cake combines sweet, velvety autumn chestnuts with soft whipped cream, while the Shine Muscat grape and Earl Grey tea cream cake offers a sophisticated balance of fruity sweetness and aromatic tea notes. Roasted pear and almond tart and classic Italian tiramisu round out the offerings.
