HONG KONG — Budget-conscious diners and office workers in Hong Kong have a new reason to look forward to weekday afternoons. Cafe de Coral has quietly rolled out a limited-time tea-time deal that packs a full meal—including a signature honey-glazed chicken wing, a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice, and a beverage—for just HK$32. The catch? It’s only available Monday through Friday, and only while supplies last.
The promotion, which runs from now until August 17, 2026, slashes nearly 25 per cent off the regular price of the items (normally HK$42 or more). The set includes one piece of the chain’s popular “Golden Honey Chicken Wing”, a small portion of wok-fried Yangzhou fried rice, and a choice of hot tea, coffee, or a soft drink. For those craving something more indulgent, an additional HK$1 upgrades the drink to a classic red bean ice—a sweet, icy treat that has become a local favourite.
Tea-Time Only, Weekdays Excluding Public Holidays
The offer is strictly limited to Cafe de Coral’s afternoon tea hours on weekdays. Public holidays are excluded, and not all branches may participate. The chain has not disclosed exact serving times, but typical tea-time windows in Hong Kong fast-food outlets run from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Customers are advised to check with their nearest outlet before heading out.
“The combo is a no-brainer for anyone looking to stretch their lunch budget,” said one regular patron on a popular Hong Kong food discussion forum. “You get a real meal, a drink, and even the option to add red bean ice for a dollar. That’s incredible value in today’s market.”
Why This Deal Matters
The promotion arrives at a time when Hong Kong’s cost of living continues to climb, with restaurant prices rising across the board. According to recent government data, the city’s food-and-dining category saw year-on-year inflation of roughly 3 per cent in early 2026. For many salary workers, a satisfying lunch or tea break under HK$40 has become increasingly rare.
Cafe de Coral, one of Hong Kong’s largest fast-food chains, has long positioned itself as an accessible option for the masses. This latest move appears aimed at reinforcing that image while drawing foot traffic during traditionally slower tea-time hours. By offering a limited-edition set that combines a favourite snack (honey chicken wings) with a filling classic (Yangzhou fried rice), the chain is capitalising on nostalgia and value-conscious dining trends.
Key Details at a Glance

- Availability: Now through August 17, 2026

What to Expect
The honey chicken wing is glazed with a sweet, sticky sauce that caramelises during cooking, giving it a glossy finish and a tender bite. The Yangzhou fried rice is prepared in small batches to ensure each grain is separate and lightly wok-fried, with the classic mix of egg, char siu, shrimp, and vegetables. Portion sizes are modest—deliberately designed for a tea-time appetite rather than a full lunch.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t the first time Cafe de Coral has deployed aggressive pricing to win over customers. Similar tea-time deals have appeared intermittently over the past year, often tied to seasonal campaigns or new menu launches. For diners, such promotions offer a rare chance to enjoy a hot, cooked meal without breaking the bank. For the chain, they provide a low-risk way to test new product combinations and boost loyalty among price-sensitive patrons.
“These flash deals generate a lot of buzz on social media and drive traffic during off-peak hours,” said a restaurant industry analyst who asked not to be named. “If executed well, they can also introduce customers to menu items they might not otherwise try, encouraging repeat visits.”
Next Steps for Hungry Readers
Anyone hoping to take advantage of the offer should plan ahead. The deal is only valid for two weeks, and popular branches—especially those in Central, Causeway Bay, and Kowloon Bay—are likely to sell out early during peak tea time. It is also worth noting that the promotion cannot be combined with other discounts or loyalty programme benefits.
For those who miss this window, similar deals from other chains may be worth watching. In recent weeks, both Maxim’s MX and Fairwood have introduced limited-time offers targeting seniors and office workers. Cafe de Coral itself has a history of extending popular promotions if demand is high, so the HK$32 combo could return later in the year.
