3,800 Hong Kong food outlets offering up to 30% off to celebrate National Day

Hong Kong's food industry is joining forces to celebrate National Day on October 1 with discounts of up to 30 per cent at over 3,800 venues. The promotional event, marking the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, aims to entice locals and tourists to spend and dine during the four-day National Day "golden week" holiday in mainland China.

Restaurants, hotels, cafes, market stalls, and convenience stores are offering an array of deals, from meal sets at 30 per cent off to fresh food items like vegetable packs and seven fish balls for a single price. Selected dishes at fast-food chains and cafes will also receive discounts, with some offering buy-one, get-one-free promotions.

The catering sector lawmaker, Jonathan Leung Chun, expressed hope that the initiative would attract more residents to stay in Hong Kong during the holiday. Leung emphasized the industry's commitment to the National Day event, noting that this year's offers include a wider variety of choices across different types of establishments.

Prominent brands participating in the promotion include Tai Hing Group, with discounts on all dine-in bills, as well as Maxim's, Spaghetti House, Oliver's Super Sandwiches, and Fairwood, among others. Hotel chains like Regal and KFC are also offering special National Day promotions, with prices ranging from HK$7 for fish balls to HK$99 for selected dinner sets.
