A Seasonal Spectacle in Hong Kong
The arrival of autumn in Hong Kong brings the prized hairy crab, and the Ten Li restaurant group has officially rolled out its “Lobster & Hairy Crab Golden Autumn Feast” and a dedicated a la carte series across its three prime locations. Available until early December 2026 in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui Elements, and Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour City, this seasonal menu places premium Jiangsu hairy crabs and succulent lobster at center stage, offering diners a comprehensive exploration of the season’s finest marine flavors.
The Set Menu Experience
Deep indulgence comes at a surprisingly accessible price: the 10-course feast starts at HKD $598 per person. It begins with a cold appetizer platter and soup, building anticipation for the first showstopper: the Caviar, Crab Roe, and Lobster on Egg White, where the sweet lobster meat meets the briny pop of caviar and the rich umami of golden crab roe.
Next is the highlight of the evening: a classic steamed 6-tael Jiangsu hairy crab, presented simply to let the natural flavors and prized roe speak for themselves.
For mains, diners choose between Spanish Iberico Pork Belly or Crispy A5 Wagyu Beef. A supplementary option of HKD $298 nets a dish of Australian Three-Head Abalone braised in oyster sauce.
The meal concludes with seasonal greens in chicken broth, Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), and a refined dessert, rounding off an extensive gastronomic journey.
Explore A La Carte
The “Crab in Autumn” a la carte menu offers an array of refined options for more casual indulgence. Highlights include the Baked Crab Shell stuffed with Crab Roe, mushrooms, and onions; Caviar and Crab Roe Prawns on Egg White; Osmanthus Crab Roe Braised Shark’s Fin; and the warming Crab Roe and River Shrimp Claypot Rice.
For HKD $68, set-menu diners can add the “Ginger Wind” cocktail—a local creation using ginger-infused Hong Kong gin that perfectly cuts through the richness of the crab.
Broader Implications and Visit Planning
The menu reinforces the Tasty Group’s commitment to premium seasonal dining, blending global luxury ingredients with Chinese culinary tradition. Given the limited availability and the intense local demand for quality hairy crab during this window, advance reservations are strongly recommended. Diners should confirm specific menu details and pricing directly with their chosen branch before visiting, as offerings may vary by location.
