If you love mud crab you’ve got to check out the newly revamped Taphouse Pub in Darlinghurst.

We start off with some snacks, the bang bang chicken wings are ridiculously addictive, the prawn wontons are silky and great with the house made chilli oil, and the fluffy steamed bbq pork buns are a winner.

For the larger dishes we ordered the sweet and sour pork which had crisp batter, the steamed scallops with vermicelli are sweet and fragrant and the wok fried morning glory ticks all the boxes for health.

And finally the main event arrives, loooook at this giant plate of mud crab with egg noodles! The mud crab is $98 and needs to be preordered ahead of time. You can choose what style you want it cooked, there’s the classic ginger and shallots or black pepper but I chose garlic butter and it was incredible. The crab was so meaty and perfectly cooked and noodles just soaked up all the sauce.
