The end of Hong Kong’s fleeting hairy crab season usually triggers a final, frantic search for rich, buttery roe. This year, Island Shangri-La’s acclaimed buffet restaurant, cafe TOO, is providing a compelling autumn finale with a perfectly timed three-day flash sale. The “Golden Autumn Bountiful Seafood and Crab Feast” is being offered with a buy-two-get-two-free promotion, effectively lowering the per-person price to just HK$284. The flash sale opens for booking on October 20.
Flash Sale Details and Dates
The promotion runs exclusively through the Shangri-La Boutique online store from October 20 to 22. The dining redemption window is generous, stretching from October 23 to November 15. The offer structure caters to both weekday value seekers and weekend diners:
- Buy 2, Get 2 Free: Valid for Monday to Thursday lunch and dinner (excluding public holidays). This represents the best value, providing the sharpest effective rate for groups.
- Buy 2, Get 1 Free: Valid for Monday to Sunday lunch and dinner (excluding public holidays).
- Shangri-La Circle Members: Loyalty members can stack an additional 15% discount on these flash rates for the remainder of October.
A Feast Centered on Premium Crab
The star ingredient is unmistakable. Every dinner guest receives a complimentary steamed hairy crab (approximately 3.5 to 4 taels), prepared simply to highlight its prized creamy roe and sweet, delicate meat. The menu extends far beyond a single course. The buffet’s seafood station features a global rotation of spider crab, snow crab legs, and a creative egg white and Huadiao wine steamed crab. Those who prefer bolder flavors can explore the selection of pepper crab, Thai curry crab, and a warming chili crab.
Exceptional Sashimi and Hearty Hot Dishes
Beyond the shell, the evening dinner services significantly elevate the offering with bluefin tuna (otoro and chutoro) sashimi and salmon roe rice bowls. For hot food fans, the kitchen sends out roasted lamb rack and a restorative ginseng and red date chicken soup. On Fridays, weekends, and public holidays, a whole roasted duck is carved tableside, adding a classic touch to the progressive buffet spread.
How to Secure Your Seat
Flash sales of this scope—especially those timed to the closing window of hairy crab season—tend to sell out quickly. Vouchers purchased are fully transferable, making them a flexible choice for social outings or larger gatherings. Diners should visit the Shangri-La Boutique platform when the sale goes live on October 20. This represents likely the final and most aggressive hotel buffet opportunity of the 2026 hairy crab season, marrying luxury ingredients with serious cost savings.
