From 1-30 April Hong Kong foodies can enjoy innovative takes on traditional dim sum with five new cute dumplings and dishes shaped like springtime animals.

Celebrating the Easter bunny tradition, adorable-looking treats will be made in-house daily, such as hot custard glutinous rice dumplings (HK$49 3pcs) filled with handmade custard and shaped into small white bunnies with sweet jam spots for eyes and deep-fried turnip dumplings (HK$39 3pcs) filled with jicama and shredded chicken. These little dishes are formed into carrot-shaped dumplings and made with the natural orange pigment from the vegetable.

Other additions to the Easter time menu will include an ode to nature and springtime with the baked pineapple puffs (HK$49 3pcs) of miniature yellow chicks, baked to order and served in little bird cages brought to the table.

Inspired by the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’ story, pork & cabbage buns (HK$49 2pcs) will be made to look like little green turtles, using green tea powder and sesame seeds. Filled with sweet Shanghai pak choi, the cute green buns are served in twos in traditional dim sum baskets.

Tofu in Japanese style sesame dressing with spicy smoked salmon (HK$59) is a cold Chinese dish, cut into a shape of rabbit. The smoked salmon is first marinated with a specially prepared spicy sauce and molded into a rabbit with eyes made from red peppers.
