Hong Kong diners looking to stretch their dining dollars this season are in luck. Café de Coral Group has rolled out a coordinated wave of six limited-time promotions across three of its casual dining brands—Shanghai Lao Lao, Spaghetti House, and Oliver’s Super Sandwiches—offering discounts ranging from 40 percent off dinner sets to free Häagen-Dazs-topped desserts and complimentary heart-warming soups. The offers, effective immediately and running through June, aim to cater to couples, families, birthday celebrants, and health-conscious patrons alike.
Shanghai Lao Lao: Handmade Heritage at a Steal
The Shanghai-style noodle and dumpling specialist, whose name pays homage to the traditional Chinese “grandmother” figure who cooks from the heart, is pushing three distinct deals this month.
Evening Bargain for Two
The “Shanghai Flavours Dinner for Two,” normally priced at HK$334, drops to just HK$199—a 40 percent discount. The set includes one cold appetiser, two soups, two main courses, and two bowls of rice. The offer is valid at all outlets except the Telford Plaza branch.
Birthday Surprise with a Traditional Twist
Birthday month diners who spend HK$500 or more on dine-in can claim a complimentary “Grandma’s Longevity Peach” (six pieces, value HK$99). These handcrafted buns, filled with sweet red bean paste, arrive on a dry-ice platter that creates a misty, photogenic effect. Guests must present their ID at payment.
Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi
In anticipation of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shanghai Lao Lao is offering three specialty glutinous rice dumplings: osmanthus red bean, soy-sauce pork, and soy-sauce pork with salted egg yolk. Purchase a set—priced from HK$36.5 per piece—with an exclusive bundle for Octopus card users. Vouchers can be bought and redeemed until June 19, while stocks last.
Spaghetti House: Dessert Dreams and a Magic Dog Cloud
The Western-style casual chain, known for its fondue, spiral pasta, and baked pork ribs, is sweetening the deal with two dessert-focused promotions.
Free “Magic Dog Cloud” for Birthday Diners
Book at least two days in advance, dine in during your birthday month, and spend a minimum of HK$600 (before service charge) to receive a complimentary “Magic Dog Cloud” dessert (value HK$148). The creation features a cloud-like cotton-candy dog shape atop Häagen-Dazs ice cream, fresh fruit, homemade Basque cheesecake, and a crispy waffle.
30% Off All Desserts
For non-birthday visits, any table spending HK$200 or more can enjoy 30 percent off the full dessert menu. Highlights include:
- Belgian Chocolate Fondue with waffle, fruit, and mochi ice cream
- Burnt Basque Cheesecake with caramel cheese and Häagen-Dazs
- House-made Fresh Fruit Waffle served with ice cream
- Tiramisu with mascarpone and coffee-soaked ladyfingers
Oliver’s Super Sandwiches: A Heart-Healthy Reward
The sandwich-and-salad chain is targeting wellness-focused customers. From now until June 2, The SuperClub members who check in five times within a week via the official app can earn a voucher for a free Beetroot Mixed Vegetable Soup. Redeemable at any outlet with a minimum spend of HK$50, the soup is touted for its heart-supporting and blood-nourishing properties.
Broader Impact: Value Meets Experience
This multi-brand promotion reflects a broader trend in Hong Kong’s dining scene: casual chains are increasingly bundling value pricing with Instagram-worthy experiences to drive foot traffic. By offering discounts on weeknight dinners, free birthday treats, and seasonal limited-edition items, Café de Coral Group is betting that variety and photo appeal will keep customers coming back through the summer slump.
For savvy diners, the message is clear: plan your birthday dinners, sign up for loyalty apps, and keep an eye on festival specials. With offers valid across three distinct cuisines—Shanghainese, Italian, and Western light fare—there’s something to satisfy every craving without breaking the bank.
