The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong has debuted the celebrated 32-Layer Chocolate Cake from its Sydney property, alongside an exclusive winter “Chocolate Artisan Afternoon Tea” at its Lighthouse Lounge. Running from November 9 to December 31, 2026, the launch marks a seasonal highlight for the hotel, coinciding with the Belgium Week in Hong Kong and Macau. The menu represents a meticulous feat of pastry engineering, designed to be enjoyed against sweeping views of the South China Sea.
The Sydney Sensation
Developed by The Fullerton Hotel Sydney’s pastry team, the 32-Layer Chocolate Cake became an instant viral hit in Australia. The Hong Kong team has faithfully replicated the recipe using top-tier Valrhona chocolate from France. The cake builds layers of Valrhona Hukambi 53% chocolate cream against coffee-soaked chocolate sponge, interspersed with a smooth Valrhona Azelia hazelnut milk chocolate cream.
The technique is rigorous: every two layers, the cake is chilled to set. This process is repeated 16 times to achieve the definitive 32 strata and a distinct, clean cross-section.
Pricing and Promo
- Full Cake: HKD 388 (requires two-day advance order)
- Individual Slice: HKD 88 (exclusive to Lighthouse Lounge dine-in, proportionally adjusted layers)
Guests who book or visit before November 30, 2026 receive a 20% discount, with vouchers valid for six months.
Chocolate Artisan Afternoon Tea
The Lighthouse Lounge’s winter offering pays tribute to Princess Delphine de Saxe-Cobourg of Belgium. The culinary team transformed three of her paintings into decorative chocolate art, placed atop a complimentary GODIVA hot chocolate for each guest.
The menu cleverly integrates chocolate into both sweet and savoury courses. The savoury selection includes:
- Smoked salmon and cucumber tartare
- Foie gras mousse toast
- A choice of main: wagyu beef skewer, prawn and mushroom vol-au-vent, or yellowfin tuna tartare
The sweet tier features:
- Miniature 32-layer chocolate cake
- 72% dark chocolate mousse with chocolate cream cake
- White chocolate ganache with pineapple and banana compote
- Ruby chocolate mousse with strawberry and pear compote
Classic English scones are served with a homemade hazelnut chocolate spread.
