Hong Kong’s dining scene welcomes a tempting new offer as three popular eateries—Chung Chai House, Chung Chef, and Chiu·Zai Hui—team up to present a Deep-Sea Long-Legged Crab Feast. Available for evening dining from 6 PM onward, this nine-course Cantonese banquet is priced from just $240 per person, with the star attraction being a whole steamed crab weighing up to six jin (approximately 3.6 kilograms). Designed to provide an accessible taste of luxury, the promotion targets both families and groups of friends looking for a special meal without breaking the bank.
The Star of the Feast: A Six-Jin Steamed Crab
At the heart of this set meal is the steamed deep-sea long-legged crab, offered in two sizes. For 12-person parties, the full set at $2,888 includes a crab around six jin, while the half-set for six guests at $1,488 features a 3.5-jin version. The crab is steamed to preserve its natural sweetness and tender texture, ensuring a satisfying experience for seafood lovers.
Beyond the Crab: A Nine-Dish Extravaganza
The feast goes beyond the crab with a carefully curated lineup of dishes:
- “Chung Family Five Small Plates”: a quintet of appetizers including chicken skin with vermicelli, tongue-numbing fish skin, black vinegar cloud ear fungus, palace-style radish, and smashed cucumber with garlic
- A nourishing soup
- Fragrant oyster pot with ginger and spring onions
