Summer Palace creates culinary highs this autumn with special Hairy Crab menu
9 October 2025, Bangkok, Thailand: Summer Palace, the renowned Cantonese restaurant at InterContinental Bangkok presents a special menu starring hairy crab as the key ingredient. Available throughout November and until mid-December, the menu brings the authentic flavours of Hong Kong to the very heart of Bangkok. Rich and satisfying, these specialty dishes are the epitome of classic Cantonese cuisine done right.
Long a beloved seafood staple in China, where it is also known as the Chinese mitten crab because of its furry claws, the hairy crab is considered a late autumn delicacy. The crustacean’s sweet meat is thought by practitioners of Chinese medicine to have a cooling and calming effect on the body, while the crab’s rich and umami roe particularly excites chefs because it adds layers of deep flavour and punch to any culinary creation.
Steamed, braised or stir-fried, hairy crab takes the spotlight in a choice of wonderful dishes that include Steamed Boston Lobster with egg white and Hairy crab roe sauce, Steamed Xiao Long Bao with pork and Hairy crab roe, beautifully braised bird’s nest with scallop and hairy crab roe, and steamed stuffed fish maw with shrimp paste and hairy crab roe. These toothsome offerings, or just a simple dish of steamed whole hairy crab enjoyed with piquant condiments, make Summer Palace a must for seafood lovers and afficionados of authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Hairy Crab menu is available at Summer Palace from 1 November to 14 December 2025 from 11.30 to 14.30 hours and 18.00 to 22.30 hours. Prices start from THB 380++ per dish.
