Hilton Kuala Lumpur’s Tang dynasty style restaurant, Chynna presents What’s the Catch, a seafood feast that serves various oceanic delights in mouth-watering oriental styles by Chef Lam.    

Featuring assorted seafood from both local and international coasts, the seafood feast takes culinary experience up a notch with freshly-sourced king crab, mud crab and abalone, all cooked in traditional Chinese methods to tantalize the most discerning taste buds.   

The red king crab or the Alaskan king crab is the most sought-after crab species from the Pacific Ocean and grows to a leg-span of 1.8 meters.

Guests will be able to savor Wok Grilled Alaskan King Crab, where the chef will prepare them with a smoking hot wok to capture its oceanic and sea-salty flavor. Paired with a special in-house chili milk dipping sauce, this dish pairs the natural sweetness of the snow-white crab meat with a tang of spiciness.

In addition to the Alaska king crab, guests can enjoy Stewed 3-Head Abalone with Black Truffle Pumpkin Puree cooked with white truffle oil and an array of Chinese-style mud crab dishes, which include Batter Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk, Durian Crab with Cheese, Sichuan Mala Crab and more.
