Hong Kong’s durian devotees have a new reason to celebrate this summer. The Park Lane Hotel in Causeway Bay is launching its highly anticipated “Durian Golden Years” buffet at the PLAYT restaurant from July 1 through August 31, 2026. Offering unlimited access to premium Malaysian durian creations alongside a bounty of fresh seafood, the promotion arrives with a flash sale slashing prices by 33%—and a clever code can knock off an additional HK$100.
A Durian Lover’s Paradise
This year’s edition features four top-tier durian varieties: Musang King, Black Thorn, Gourd, and Red Prawn. The hotel’s pastry chef has crafted an exclusive dessert lineup that transforms these pungent fruits into irresistible sweets. Guests can indulge in Musang King molten lava cake, durian mille-feuille, Italian-style gelato, panna cotta, and a Gourd durian cheese cake, among others.
The selection rotates slightly between meal periods. Lunch and brunch sessions highlight items like Musang King lava cake and Gourd durian cheese cake, while dinner adds Musang King panna cotta, Gourd durian cup cakes, and durian Napoleon. Beyond the sweet offerings, the buffet also delivers a full spread of international dishes and fresh seafood, including snow crab legs, oysters, sashimi, Thai-style raw shrimp, lobster, and braised abalone with mushroom and duck feet.
Flash Sale and Insider Tip
The “Durian Golden Years” buffet is available for lunch (12:00–14:30), weekend brunch (11:45–14:30), and dinner (18:30–21:30). A limited-time flash sale on KKday runs from June 30 at 12:00 p.m. to July 6, offering a flat 67% discount for two-person bookings.
Pricing after the flash deal:
- Dinner (Mon–Thu): HK$607 per person (originally HK$867)
- Dinner (Fri–Sun): HK$630 per person (originally HK$867)
- Lunch (Mon–Fri): HK$706 for two, average HK$353 per person (originally HK$504)
- Brunch (weekend): HK$952 for two, average HK$476 per person (originally HK$680)
For an extra saving, East Asia Bank credit card holders can apply the promo code BEAPLAYT at checkout to subtract HK$100 from the total bill. That brings dinner prices as low as HK$557 per person on weekdays and HK$580 on weekends, while lunch drops to an average of just HK$303 per person.
How to Secure Your Spot
Bookings must be made through the designated KKday product page. Given the limited duration of the flash sale and the popularity of durian-themed events in Hong Kong, early reservation is strongly advised. The hotel recommends checking availability for your preferred date and meal session before purchasing.

Why This Matters
The return of the “Durian Golden Years” buffet underscores a broader trend in Hong Kong’s dining scene: hotels are increasingly leveraging seasonal, luxury ingredients combined with aggressive discounting to attract both local foodies and tourists. With durian’s cult following and the allure of unlimited premium seafood, this promotion offers exceptional value—especially for those who act quickly.
For diners seeking a summer feast that marries bold flavours with serious savings, the Park Lane’s offering checks every box. But with the flash window closing in just over a week, the clock is ticking.
