The Hari Hong Kong: Festive dining throughout December and January
Dec 18, 2024
Approaching 2025, The Hari Hong Kong offers a warm and inviting way to celebrate the festive season. The hotel invites you to enjoy a delightful cheese fondue experience, perfect for creating cherished moments with family and friends
Fondue is the perfect meal for sharing and celebrating over the Christmas and new year holiday for several compelling reasons.
Fondue embodies the spirit of togetherness. The act of gathering around a bubbling pot of melted cheese naturally encourages conversation and connection. As everyone opts for their chosen 'dippers' - be it bread, vegetables or meat - they engage in a shared experience that fosters warmth and camaraderie. This communal aspect is especially significant during the festive period, a time when people reflect on the past year and look forward to new beginnings.
The cheese fondue menu at The Hari Hong Kong's Zoku features Emmental cheese melted to creamy perfection. This classic dish encourages sharing and is the perfect choice for those looking to connect over food while reflecting on the past year. You can dip freshly baked bread, seasonal vegetables, and assorted charcuterie into the rich cheese, inviting conversation and laughter around the table.
Zoku has introduced its homemade Japanese Cheese Fondue, making it a delightful choice for winter gatherings. This Sukiyaki Cheese Fondue combines Swiss Emmental cheese, Sakura cheese, and sake, served warm alongside homemade torched buns, shiitake mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, tamagoyaki, and kinu tofu. Guests can also dip into a variety of options like U.S. Prime Beef, Kyushu Chicken Thigh, Wild Octopus, Hokkaido Scallop and Tempura.
To complement the fondue experience, Zoku offers a selection of warm sake, cocktails, and champagnes that pair beautifully with the meal. This inviting atmosphere makes Zoku a great spot for cosy winter celebrations with friends and family.
If you’re interested in trying this fondue, it’s available until February 28, 2025 (excluding New Year's Eve) every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. Just remember to make your reservation at least 24 hours in advance and mention “Sukiyaki Cheese Fondue” when booking your table.
Beyond The Hari's reimagined fondue experience, DJ music at the hotel adds to the festive atmosphere, creating a vibrant air and backdrop for your New Year's Eve night. As midnight approaches, guests gather for a toast with sparkling wine, looking forward to the new year together.
If you want to add to your evening of indulgence, the hotel offers comfortable accommodation options throughout December for those wishing to extend their celebrations. Picture waking up in a beautifully appointed room after a night of festivities, complete with breakfast for two and dining credits to explore other culinary offerings at the hotel.
The winter holiday period is about more than just food; it’s about making memories. Sharing fondue fosters connection and warmth, encouraging storytelling and laughter as you enjoy each bite together.
As you plan your festive season, think about what makes it special for you. Is it the food? The company? The atmosphere? At The Hari Hong Kong, you’ll find all these elements combined in one place.
Celebrate the arrival of 2025 in a setting that feels like home through an unforgettable evening filled with warmth, laughter and delicious food as we toast to new beginnings.
