To kick off 2018, godbro XO treated me to a fancy feast of crabs to thank me for all the minions and Badtz Maru presents I got him for Christmas! The venue of choice was Kani Kei, which was featured in an OpenRice article in December!The restaurant is located in the basement of Macau Yat Yuen Centre. As XO was told that the restaurant was fully booked and we had to return the table by 8pm, we arrived early for our reservation and saw the delivery guy delivering the crabs! We knew we were in f
The restaurant is located in the basement of Macau Yat Yuen Centre. As XO was told that the restaurant was fully booked and we had to return the table by 8pm, we arrived early for our reservation and saw the delivery guy delivering the crabs! We knew we were in for a treat as the crabs are super fresh!
As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by "Kei san" and two huge tanks of crabs!
We were seated at a booth, which was roomy and comfy, and the table was already set with place settings.

As I was having trouble deciding on what to order, the server came to us and recommended the Kiwame Crab Course, which covered a wide range of dishes from the menu and included 3 types of crabs. XO saw that I was mesmerized by the dishes in the menu and ordered the Kiwame Crab Course to share between the two of us!The Kiwame Crab Course consisted of 10 courses, and the first one was the Assorted Appetizers (3 kinds).

The server recommended that we start from the right side of the platter and work our way to the left. Crab-Shaped Cucumber with Crab Tomalley:The crunchy cucumber was carved into a crab, and the fresh flavor was delightful with the pungent crab tomalley.
Seared Salmon Rollup: The seared salmon was silky and tender and paired with crunchy radish slices!
Icefish Jello: The jello cube was stunning to look at with its crystal transparency and chrysanthemum garnish. This is a savory jello that tasted like a light broth with tiny icefish swimming around!
Pickled Burdock: The pickled burdock had a nice crunch!
Crab Tomalley Tofu with Salmon Roe and Black Truffle: The tofu was very silky; the tomalley flavor of the tofu was complemented by the salinity of the salmon roe!
Seared Cherry Tomato Stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese: This was like a Japanese version of a caprese salad. The sweetness of the cherry tomato was not overpowered by the melted mozzarella cheese, and the vinegar on the bottom gave it a sweet vinegary kick!

The texture of the winter melon was perfectly soft without falling apart! The parma ham and black truffle highlighted the broth-based flavor of the winter melon!
Before the crab courses were served, the server showed us the crabs we would be consuming this evening, which included a hairy crab, a king crab, and a snow crab! The crabs were extremely lively and kept trying to crawl out of the tray!
The server also got our place settings ready and gave each of us a crab pick.

The crab leg was very tender, the salmon had a silky oiliness to it, the hamachi had a toothsome texture, the maguro was without a hint of fishiness, the flavor of the kuromutu was enhanced by the light sear to the skin, and the araebi had a fresh crunchiness to it!

The hairy crab meat had the perfect soft fluffy tender texture! The crab meat had a distinct but light crab flavor, so the steaming preparation was ideal! The sweet crab vinegar brought out the freshness of the crab without overpowering it! The crab mustard in the crab shell was deliciously flavorful!

The Grilled Crab Shell with Miso was served with crispy warm toast. We smothered the crunchy toast with a big heap of the ooey gooey crab paste! The crab paste had a luxurious creamy flavor!
The server continued on the grill with our next course which was the Grilled King Crab Leg.

After the Kiwame Crab Course meal, our bellies were as filled as the crab shell receptacle on the table! All the courses were arranged impeccably with progressively stronger flavor, and the hairy crab, king crab, and snow crab were superb in the various preparations! Thanks to the OpenRice article covering Kani Kei and godbro XO's treat, I was able to check out this new crab-themed restaurant for the new year!
