Craving some fresh shellfish? You're in luck.
Xia Mi Hao Liao is a Hubei seafood restaurant that specialises in live crawfish and hairy crab.
These fresh seafood items are flown in weekly from China.

Here’s what we tried:
Signature 10 Spiced Combo (S$125++)
Mala lovers, this one's for you.
This dish is spicy and numbing and yet, not too oily.
If we were to compare this to mala, the spicy crawfish and hairy crab are comparable to zhong la (medium spice).

Steamed Crawfish (from S$48++)

Steamed Hairy Crabs (Seasonal price)

Because it's a steamed dish, the natural sweetness of the seafood stood out.
These dishes are ideal for those who prefer lighter flavours.
Bi Feng Tang Combo (S$125++)
Generously packed with stir-fried breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and a blend of spices.
Pro-tip: Don't order this if you're on a date because it's pretty garlicky.

Lotus Root Fries (S$16++)
Not your regular fries, these unique fries passed the crunch test.

Picked Cucumber (S$12++)
Crisp and tangy with a nice crunch.
Be warned though, the spice from the chilli kicks in a little bit later.
