In a move that is set to excite Hong Kong’s gastronomic scene, The Clipper Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental has announced a flash sale featuring a rare “Buy One Get One Free” dinner buffet offer. Known for its refined atmosphere and high culinary standards, the hotel is offering substantial savings on two distinct seasonal menus. Effective immediately, diners can enjoy the luxury buffet at approximately HK$593 per person, a significant markdown from the standard pricing for a venue of this caliber.
A Strategic Culinary Offering
The promotion is structured around two rotating themes designed to showcase the kitchen’s versatility. Until May 3, the “Lobster Seafood Spring” theme takes center stage, prioritizing wellness and traditional Cantonese luxury. The menu highlights include premium ingredients such as red-braised flower fish maw, whole abalone, and the visually stunning bird’s nest egg tarts. As part of this offering, guests are served rotating tableside snacks, ranging from seared foie gras to slow-cooked sustainable fish maw, ensuring a continuous dining experience.
Starting May 4, the buffet transitions to the “Hong Kong Feast.” This theme leans heavily into local favorites and international seafood staples. Diners can expect unlimited servings of Alaskan king crab legs, Boston lobster, and Dalian abalone. A key interactive element includes a live station where chefs prepare lobster Caesar salads and lobster bacon cream pasta inside a giant wheel of Parmesan cheese. Classic desserts, notably the hotel’s signature 1963 Mandarin Cheese Cake, remain available to round out the meal.
Enhanced Weekday and Brunch Options
The hotel has also incentivized weekday dining. Guests who book the buffet between Monday and Wednesday will receive complimentary free-flow juices and soft drinks, adding further value to the package.
For weekend diners, the Mandarin Oriental is extending a parallel “Buy Two Get Two Free” offer for its Sunday Brunch. Priced at HK$2,372 for four people, the brunch menu features Boston lobster, premium sashimi selections, and a dedicated noodle cart serving braised beef brisket, alongside slow-roasted US prime beef ribs.
