Tuesday is the day for oyster lovers in Hong Kong, with The Hari Hong Kong offering 90 minutes of free-flowing oysters.
Between 6pm and 9pm on Tuesdays, the hotel’s elegant Japanese restaurant, Zoku, offers an indulgent dining experience for HK$988 (AUD$195) for two people and HK$488 (AUD$96) for each additional guest.
Oyster Tuesday is underscored by 90 minutes of free-flowing oysters served with lime and ponzu. The package also includes welcome bites; golden fried oyster, avocado and panca chili makimono sushi; kake udon noodles with oysters, smoked herring caviar and mushroom dashi; and kushiyaki skewers from the grill, including Japanese taro with Saikyo miso, Kyushu chicken thigh with togarashi and mirin, and Atlantic salmon with asparagus and teriyaki. Hojicha crème brulee with coconut sorbet rounds out the feast.
There’s a great range of beverages on offer including warm sake, whisky, bubbles, cocktails, mocktails, and even a Champagne vs Sake pairing with free-flowing Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut and Gassan Junmai Houjun Karakuchi. Drinks packages start at HK$168 (AUD$33) for non-alcoholic drinks and are priced up to HK$388 (AUD$76) for an ‘All Drinks’ package.
Award-winning Zoku offers an intimate setting of leather fluted booths, crimson velvet banquettes and bar lounge chairs. Pink bubble glass tealight holders and orange fringed lampshades create a soft glow against a striking ceiling of angled timber slats in origami-like forms. Greenery frames the adjacent alfresco terrace bar.
The 30-storey-high hotel on eclectic Lockhart Road is moments away from the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and Happy Valley Racecourse, bridging the commercial pulse of Causeway Bay and the creative design scenes of Wan Chai.
Other venues in the hotel include Italian ristorante Lucciola, and The Lounge, an all-day sitting area with a compelling collection of art and books.
The hotel prides itself on its attention to sustainability, with EarthCheck awarding it bronze status for its sustainability measures. Not only are its oysters sustainably sourced but all its oyster, mussel and scallop shells are collected and turned into cement in a local collaboration.
