Crab Porridge

Crab Porridge

　　Crab porridge isn’t made with just water crab — it combines the essence of three types of crabs: water crab, dungeness crab, and mud crab, then pairs them with specially prepared oyster porridge to enrich the flavor. All the crabs used are locally sourced, as Macau’s crabs grow in the brackish waters where freshwater meets seawater, giving them a sweet and delicious taste with tender, succulent meat. The crabs in the porridge are cut into large chunks, which helps prevent small fragments or shells from getting into the porridge, which could affect both texture and safety.

　　The freshly cooked crab porridge arrives at your table steaming hot, its fragrant aroma and golden appearance instantly making your mouth water. The porridge has the perfect consistency — not too thick, not too thin — packed with rich crab roe and fresh, succulent crab meat, all bursting with the essence of crab.
