[Shanghai Lao Lao] Hairy crab season is here

Hairy crab season this year started off for me with Hairy Crab Roe dishes from 上海姥姥 Shanghai Lao Lao.
There are so many branches in Hong Kong.

I was captivated by their Hairy Crab roe poster at Wong Tai Sin and all over the MTR stations.

As I was in Causeway Bay the other day, I went there with friends and we had other dishes as well.
++++++++
Sliced Pork Terrine:

Started with this classic terrine where the jelly melts in your mouth while the pork bits are really tasty.
++++++++
Mung Bean Noodles with Shredded Chicken:

This one was my favourite, springy mung bean noodles in a thick peanut and sesame dressing complimented by refreshing julienne cucumber.
++++++++
Smoked Fish with Mixed Spices:
The fish was crisp and sweet with a play of spices that were not spicy.
++++++++
Noodles with Hairy Crab Roe:

I love noodles and these have to be eaten asap while it is hot and delicious.
There was so much crab roe to cover every strand of noodle.
++++++++
Assorted Mushrooms wrapped in Crispy Bean Curd Sheet with Hairy Crab Roe:
This had to be the star of the show, the dish that was advertised on the poster, it was crispy with juicy mushrooms in the middle served with a generous pile of crab roe to compliment it.
++++++++
Scrambled Egg White with Hairy Crab Roe:
Another classic dish was the scrambled egg white covered in an abundance of crab roe, great with rice.
++++++++
Steamed Pork Dumplings with Hairy Crab Roe:
The pork dumplings are a must in Shanghai cuisine and these were bursting with rich crab roe and pork in the middle.
++++++++
Mini Glutinous Rice Balls in Fermented Rice Wine Soup:

Dessert ended with a sweet touch of soft chewy glutinous rice balls in sweet fragrant osmanthus flowers and rice wine soup.
++++++
Finished with the warming Fresh Lemonade with Ginger and Honey and the Chrysanthemum tea with Wolfberries and Honey.
