Shouldn’t Mother’s Day be every day?
Ah, Mother’s Day. That special day (we deserve a year!) when we (and our own mums!) are finally pampered and praised for doing the toughest job there is. And because Hong Kong is filled with incredible deals just for this holiday, we’re highlighting the best there is. From unique brunch dishes, to free flow steals, you’ll have your pick of how to give mum the five-star treatment.
Hotel Icon – GREEN and The Market
Hotel Icon is pulling out all the stops this Mother’s Day with its Mother’s Day in Bloom at GREEN and its Magnificent Mother’s Day at The Market Buffet!
If mum’s idea of Mother’s Day is basking in a sunlit room while enjoying a complimentary glass of Mumm Cordon Rouge champagne upon arrival, GREEN and The Market Buffet are just the spots for her. But taking your pick of the two is going to be tough! GREEN’s brilliant display of finely curated appetiser selections and international main course dishes (including prime cut steak or lamb, ocean fresh seafood, authentic pasta and risottos and more!) is highlighted by a jaw-dropping vertical garden and a bright, airy gorgeous space. Any mum would feel like the woman of the hour while enjoying a meal here!
But if alfresco dining on a gorgeous terrace while you tuck into international classics (such as antipasti to laksas to curries to grilled meat and more) is more suited to mum, then be sure to book in at The Market.
Executive Chef Philip Leung oversees both GREEN and The Market, so you know the food is going to be stellar no matter which selection you pick!
