Hong Kong’s beloved fast-food chain Café de Coral has officially relaunched its evening claypot rice series, now featuring high-fiber oat rice for a more nutritious twist. The seasonal offering rolled out in late October 2026 across all branches, giving diners the chance to enjoy the iconic dish during dinner hours. Customers who order takeout can bring the claypot home for an extra HK$8, while each claypot rice purchased comes with two HK$6 vouchers for future evening meals.
Evening Claypot Rice Returns with a Nutritional Upgrade
The return of the claypot rice line marks a strategic effort by Café de Coral to blend tradition with modern health consciousness. This year, the chain has swapped part of the regular rice for oat rice, a high-fiber grain that adds a crunchy texture to the dish while maintaining the signature charred crust that claypot rice lovers crave. The move aligns with a broader consumer shift toward healthier eating habits without sacrificing taste.
According to the company, the oat rice boosts the meal’s dietary fiber content, making it a more balanced option for evening dining. Dietitians have noted that such additions can help increase daily fiber intake, which supports digestion and prolonged satiety—an appealing benefit for health-aware consumers.
Four Classic Flavors to Choose From
Café de Coral is rotating four distinct claypot rice varieties throughout the dinner promotion. The flagship flavor is the Northern Mushroom, Chicken, and Chinese Sausage Oat Rice Claypot, where tender chicken meets the rich umami of preserved sausage and earthy mushrooms. Other returning favorites include:
- Chicken Feet, Spare Ribs, and Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice – a traditional combination beloved for its gelatinous texture and smoky pork notes.
- Preserved Vegetable with Braised Pork Belly Claypot Rice – offering a sweet-and-savory contrast with melt-in-the-mouth pork.
- Octopus Meatball and Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice – featuring a seafood twist that complements the salty-sweet sausage.
Each dish is cooked in the classic claypot method, ensuring a crisp layer of rice at the bottom, known as guō jiāo, which adds a satisfying crunch.
Takeaway Perks and Discount Vouchers
To encourage at-home enjoyment, Café de Coral allows customers to add the actual claypot to their takeaway order for just HK$8—a small premium for those who want to replicate the restaurant experience in their own kitchen. The two HK$6 vouchers are issued immediately with each purchase and can be applied toward the next evening dinner visit, offering a total saving of HK$12 on future orders.
The promotional items, including the claypots and vouchers, are available while stocks last. Café de Coral has stressed that all offers are subject to availability at individual outlets, and prices may vary by location. Diners are advised to check with their nearest branch for the most current details.
Broader Impact on Local Dining Trends
The reintroduction of claypot rice with a health-forward update reflects a growing pattern among quick-service restaurants in Hong Kong: adapting traditional comfort foods to meet evolving nutritional expectations. By incorporating fiber-rich grains and retaining affordable pricing, Café de Coral is positioning itself as a family-friendly option that does not compromise on flavor or convenience.
Industry observers suggest that such moves could influence other chains to revamp their menus with functional ingredients, tapping into the rising demand for “better-for-you” versions of local staples. For now, customers can enjoy this limited-time series during evening hours, with no confirmed end date for the promotion.
For those eager to try the updated claypot rice, it is recommended to visit during off-peak dinner hours to avoid wait times, especially as word of the healthy revamp spreads. As with all promotional items, stock is finite, so early action ensures availability of both the claypot and the accompanying vouchers.
