The freshwater hairy crab, also known as Chinese mitten crab, is widely found in the rivers of China. Prized for its crab roe, the hairy crab is the most coveted delicacy in Chinese restaurants. As most Chinese believe that hairy crabs are “cooling” (yin) to the body, this dish is often prepared or served together with ginger and wine, to balance the yin and yang effect in the body.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
