can accommodate up to 350 guests. It features an elegant decor with
influences of traditional Chinese art and culture. Diners can
choose one of the nine private booths which are tastefully
appointed in various styles typical in the Yangtze River Delta
region.
Strict Sourcing
Standards During the crab seasons, we send experienced buyers to
select raw crabs at designated crab farms in the Yangcheng Lake
region and deliver them back to the hotel, alive. Raw crabs are
prepared on the spot to ensure 100% freshness. In so doing, the
original flavor can be retained, as well.
The Crab Dinner
The "crab dinner" features dozens of carefully prepared innovative
crab delights which boast "choice ingredients, expert cutting,
seductive color, light taste, tender texture and original
flavor ".
8-Piece Kit and
2-Piece Kit It was recorded that the traditional 8-piece kit used
to eat crabs was invented by craftsmen living in early Ming
dynasty. 8 pieces were later reduced to two pieces and handed down
to generations. The 2-piece kit is available at Central Hotel
Shanghai.
Matching Wine The
"Crab dinner" tastes best if paired with "Central Hotel Shanghai
Crab Dinner Wine "(a kind of rice wine), and the two are jointly
known as the "best of best". The wine is said to be effective in
dispelling cold, for crabs are coldnatured. With wine cup in one
hand and crab's pincers in the other, you'll feel your life is
full.
