Exclusive visit to a Hairy Crab Farm near Shanghai (where the best 大闸蟹 are from)

  • In our third and final vlog from Shanghai (and for the year) we head just out of Shanghai to Suzhuo's Bacheng, Yangcheng Lake area which is famous for their hairy crabs also known as mitten crabs or 大闸蟹 (da zha xie) in Chinese. These hairy crabs are an absolute delicacy not just in Shanghai but across China and we were visiting during the best time to have them.
    Shanghai locals know that Yangcheng Lake is the hometown for the tastiest hairy crabs around and we were fortunate enough to be invited both inside the restaurant's kitchen and even taken out to the owner's private farm after lunch to get a real behind the scenes experience.
    🦀 RESTAURANT 🦀
    The restaurant is listed on Google maps (which you can't access without VPN in China) but the address and marker look wrong, so if you want to find this restaurant you'll need a Chinese map like Baidu map or enter it into your Didi ride hailing app. Copy and paste the restaurant name in Chinese to locate it. Good luck!
    ▸ 君得利蟹莊 (Jun De Li Crab Shop)
    Address: 昆山巴城阳澄湖湖滨南路与巴解路三叉路口
    The intersection of Hubin South Road and Bajie Road, Yangcheng Lake, Bacheng, Kunshan
    Tel: 0512-5765-4377
    🌳 BAJIE PARK 🌳
    This is a huge area to cover and we found this website in English that has more information on it as well as how to get there and all its attractions in the area too.

    Y: “When was the last time we had this?”
    P: (in a low murmur) “A few days ago..”
    Y: “Ah that’s right.”
    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Pretty much sums up why your videos rock 😂😂😂
    I remember these hairy little fellas from your Shanghai food vid… wanted to try them then, want to try them now. Food looked great and how cool of an experience for the owner to take you out to the farm. Very very cool… Thanks for another fun year guys! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year… and as always, wherever life takes you guys next, safe travels!!!

      As a lover of taste bud sensations I think Shanghai will Def be the right place for you.

    Merry Christmas guys 🎄. I am watching this video on Christmas day 😊. I have a trip down the memory lane with this video. I used to eat that snail, river or lake (they also found in rice field too) when i was a kid back in Vietnam. We cook it with lemon grass and lemon/lime leaves, and the dipping is fermented rice. Omg, I love those bat wings fruit (Vietnamese name is Trai au). It's my favourite childhood snack, simple steam or boil it and eat. Us Vietnamese love to dip the crab with lime salt and pepper. Our #1 dipping for grilled, charcoal, or boil crab 🦀. I am drooling watching u guys ate it. My favourite as always is mud crab n my family used to charcoal it for me to eat. Our backyard is a river. Looking forward to your next adventure. Happy NY 🎉

      Thanks so much for sharing some of your culinary experiences in Vietnam. It sounds like it is very similar to what my parents experienced in China when they were younger.
      Happy new year and have an awesome 2024 😁
      Hopefully we'll get a chance to go back to Vietnam sometime next year 🙏😊

      @PeterandYen mY husband doesn't like Vietnam so we always opt other countries. However, we will go back one day when my children are older or at least they can look after themselves. I love all the snacks and street fruit in Vietnam, however my favourite is always Japanese ramen n Peking duck lol
