Shanghai Crab Roe Rice + Abalone for a Luxurious Treat

This time, I ventured into Nanjing West Road and discovered a hidden gem specializing in crab roe rice—Crab Sanbao·Crab Roe Rice. The restaurant plays Jay Chou's songs on loop, creating a perfect blend of music and food for a sensory delight 😍😍

Signature Dishes:
🌟 Crab Roe Rice—The star of the show is undoubtedly this bowl of crab roe rice! The crab roe is mixed with smooth white rice, exuding a rich aroma and a hint of sweetness. Paired with two tender and bouncy abalones, it offers a satisfying combination of carbs and protein in one bowl!
🌟 Crab Roe Soup Dumplings—A classic Shanghai dish with thin skin, juicy filling, and plenty of soup. A must-order to pair with the crab roe rice for a double treat!

Ambiance: The decor follows a minimalist style with warm and soft lighting. Jay Chou's music plays continuously in the background, satisfying your visual, taste, and auditory senses all at once.

💡 Tips:
If you're visiting Shanghai, missing out on crab roe rice would be a real pity! Even just the crab roe rice alone is a delight, but adding abalone makes it even more indulgent. For a leisurely experience of Jay Chou's playlist paired with the delicious crab roe, visit during non-peak hours ☺️
