Mott 32 — Jiangsu hairy crab feast with tableside deshelling and tasting menu

Mott 32 is marking the Jiangsu hairy crab’s peak with an autumn feast built around both à la carte crab dishes and a six-course set menu. The Steamed Whole Hairy Crab with 10 Years Shaoxing Wine comes with tableside deshelling, so the team extracts the meat and roe intact for you, while the à la carte side brings crab roe into a Shanghainese soup dumpling, a flaky Hairy Crab Puff, silken Braised Tofu with crab roe sauce and a Hairy Crab Claw with fish maw and osmanthus-style scrambled egg. The set menu is guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine — hairy crab being a “cold-natured” ingredient — and pairs the crab with warming touches.
