HONG KONG – Beloved local character FATTY (為食妹) is trading her iconic foodie persona for a chef’s apron in a brand-new, multi-sensory baking-themed pop-up experience at Harbour City’s LCX. Running from July 18 to August 31, 2026, the “LCK X PLASTIC THING Summer ‘Burger’ Fun Baking Workshop” offers visitors three interactive zones, over 40 exclusive bakery-themed merchandise items, and a lineup of weekend workshops and meet-and-greet sessions with creator Yip Yan.
Three Immersive Zones: From Bread Rising to Selfie Snaps
The pop-up transforms LCX’s Oasis 1, 2, and 3 into a whimsical bakery wonderland, designed to engage all five senses. In the “Bread Lover’s Baking Workshop”, Chef FATTY and Assistant Chef PUFFY—both dressed in professional chef whites—greet guests. Visitors can touch dough as it proofs and listen to the satisfying crunch of crispy bread crusts, creating a calming, almost ASMR-like experience.
Adjacent to the workshop, the Snapio x Plastic Thing Toasted Toast Selfie Booth features a giant toast-shaped set piece perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. Meanwhile, FATTY’S BAKERY pop-up store invites guests to grab a bread tong and wooden tray, mimicking a real bakery visit while browsing the extensive merchandise collection.
Over 40 New Merchandise Items and Interactive Activities
The retail zone houses more than 40 exclusive bakery-themed products, including limited-edition apparel, stationery, kitchenware, and collectibles. Shoppers are encouraged to treat the “bread-picking” process as part of the experience.
Beyond shopping, the pop-up offers several engaging activities:
- DIY “Bake Stamp Card” Treasure Hunt – Complete the hunt to redeem a “Bread-y Bookmark”
- Claw Machine Challenge – Win a “Soft Fluffy FATTY Sponge”
- Weekend Beading Workshops – Craft your own accessories (Saturdays and Sundays only)
- FATTY One-Day Store Manager Meet-and-Greet – Interact with the character up close
- Plastic Thing Creator Yip Yan Autograph Session – Meet the artist behind the brand
Creator Insights and Broader Impact
