Hong Kong’s beloved fast-casual chain Café de Coral has launched a four-day flash sale starting September 7, 2026, offering its legendary crispy fried chicken legs and soy sauce chicken legs for an eye-popping HK$12 each—a steep discount from their usual afternoon tea price. The promotion, running through September 10, also features a HK$40 combo that pairs a chicken leg with three cups of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, alongside a HK$9.9 grape乌龙茶.
The Deal: Two Classic Chicken Legs at Unbeatable Prices
For many Hongkongers, Café de Coral’s chicken legs are the undisputed kings of afternoon tea. This flash sale brings them down to a price rarely seen: just HK$12 for a single piece. Diners can choose between the crispy fried version—golden, crunchy, and unapologetically indulgent—or the deeply savory soy sauce chicken leg, which has been a menu staple for decades.
- Single chicken leg: HK$12 (any flavor)
- Availability: Daily from 2:30 PM during tea service
- Date window: September 7 to September 10, 2026
“This is the kind of promotion that gets people lining up before the tea hour even starts,” said food blogger and frequent Café de Coral customer Karen Leung. “The chicken leg alone is usually around HK$28 during tea time. At HK$12, it’s practically a steal.”
A Surprising Sweet-Savory Combo: Chicken Leg Meets Häagen-Dazs
For those craving an even more indulgent experience, Café de Coral is offering a HK$40 bundle that includes one chicken leg (your choice of crispy fried or soy sauce) and three individual cups of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. The pairing—hot, savory chicken followed by cold, creamy ice cream—has been dubbed an “ice-and-fire” combination by fans online.
At HK$40, the bundle represents significant savings. Three Häagen-Dazs cups alone typically retail for around HK$60 to HK$70 at convenience stores. Adding a chicken leg for effectively HK$10 or less makes this one of the most value-packed afternoon tea deals currently available in Hong Kong.
Quench Your Thirst: HK$9.9 Grape Oolong Tea
To round out the meal, Café de Coral is also offering a giant grape oolong tea for just HK$9.9. The fruity, refreshing drink is designed to cut through the richness of the fried chicken leg and balance the sweetness of the ice cream. It’s available as a standalone purchase during the same promotion period.
Why This Sale Matters for Hong Kong’s Dining Scene
This flash sale comes at a time when Hong Kong’s casual dining market is highly competitive. With rising costs of living and inflation, consumers are increasingly price-conscious. Café de Coral, as one of the city’s largest fast-food chains, has a history of using aggressive promotions to drive foot traffic—especially during the slower afternoon tea hours.
“These flash sales are smart marketing,” noted hospitality industry analyst James Wong. “By creating urgency with a four-day window and tying it to a beloved menu item, they not only boost sales in the short term but also reinforce brand loyalty. People will remember that they got a great deal here and return.”
Practical Tips for Diners
For those planning to take advantage of the promotion, here are a few key details to keep in mind:
- Timing is everything: The chicken leg and combo deals are only available from 2:30 PM onward each day. Early birds will need to wait.
- Limited duration: The sale ends on September 10, 2026. Do not expect extensions.
- Stock may vary: Popular branches—especially those in shopping districts and near MTR stations—may sell out early during peak tea hours.
- No substitutions: The promotion is limited to the two specified chicken leg flavors; no other menu items are included at the discounted price.
Looking Ahead
Café de Coral has not announced whether this sale will return, but given the enthusiastic response on social media and fan forums like the “新·大家樂討論區,” it would not be surprising to see similar promotions in the future. For now, Hong Kong’s chicken leg lovers have just four days to savor one of the best bargains of the season.
