With Singaporeans’ raging passion for seafood, and Hubei cuisine being the talk of the town lately, there’s little reason to believe that a Chinese restaurant specialising in crawfish wouldn’t take off. Xia Mi Hao Liao brings us a concept that we’ve yet to see before – fresh, live crawfish flown in weekly from China, with customisable flavours and cooking methods.
For the standard experience, the signature 10 spices crawfish ($48 per 500g, $90 per kg) is sure to get you sweating, with Chinese spices like cinnamon, star anise, Wurfbainia vera, bay leaf, and licorice lending a punchy and numbing flavour to the dish. You can also try the special Bi Feng Tang flavour – a fun mix of breadcrumbs and minced garlic on top of spices, perfect for pairing with ice cold beer, or keep it simple with steamed crawfish to savour its original taste – a true test of the freshness of the shellfish. Apart from crawfish, Xia Mi Hao Liao also offers freshly flown-in hairy crabs from China in all the same flavour combinations, available at seasonal prices.
