Ocean Park invites family and friends to enjoy the popular theme park’s Christmas Sensation from 13 December 2014 to 4 January 2015, which features beloved Christmas-themed attractions, and a delectable family-friendly menu inspired by classic Christmas songs, featuring sustainable ingredients.  Apart from the lead attraction, “Ocean of Light”, Hong Kong’s largest indoor Christmas lighting spectacle, Christmas Sensation will present an adorable Doraemon-themed festive menu.

Tuxedos Restaurant, Ocean Park’s exceptional low-carbon dining venue will be introducing “The Christmas Musical” set menu (HK$338 per person plus 10 % service charge), which features festive, sustainable dishes that can be enjoyed by diners of all ages. Adults may choose to indulge in a 4-course menu which starts with “Jingle Bells”, a sustainable Crab Meat Salad with Peach and Smoked Salmon with Pomegranate, followed by “Oh Christmas Tree”, a Cream of Green Peas Soup with Scallop.

For the main course, diners are treated to a dish named “All I Want for Christmas is You”, a Traditional Roasted U.S. Turkey and Bone Ham complemented by red wine sauce, mashed potatoes, and seasonal greens which evoke the joys of a classic Christmas meal.  The festive feast ends with “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, a Dessert Platter, comprised of familiar Christmas characters that bring out the child in each adult diner.

A complimentary Special Christmas Drink (HK$58 plus 10 % service charge) served in a cute champagne flute comes with the celebratory meal.  Diners will also be treated to a unique experience of dining with over 70 penguins playfully swimming and frolicking in the water and on ice.

A 3-course menu cutely named “Sparkling Stars” (HK$188 plus 10 % service charge) designed to treat young guests is also available at Tuxedos Restaurant.  Buttered Sweet Corn in a Cup starts the meal off, while the ever-popular Spaghetti with Shredded Turkey in Tomato Marinara Sauce and French Fries steal the spotlight as the main course.  A dessert of Chocolate Brownie and Mini Ice Cream Cup ends the feast, a guaranteed hit with children of all ages.

At Neptune’s Restaurant, guests can participate in Doraemon’s Christmas party by indulging into the Doraemon Christmas Set Menu (HK$398 plus 10 % service charge).  The party menu starts off with the Christmas-tree décor inspired appetizer, Crab Meat Salad with Peach and Smoked Salmon, followed by a Cream of Green Peas Soup with Scallops. For the main course, guests can choose between the Broiled U.S. Angus Beef Tenderloin with thick cut chips, ratatouille, and red wine sauce, or Traditional Roasted U.S. Turkey and Bone Ham, served with mashed potatoes, seasonal greens, and red wine sauce, both decorated with the smiling face of Doraemon or his sister, Dorami.  A Hot Melting Chocolate Pudding with a Doraemon cookie and an edible Christmas snowman ends the meal.  Guests enjoying the Doraemon Christmas menu will be given a limited edition Doraemon Souvenir.

During the promotional period, Neptune’s Restaurant also offers 6 different Doraemon-inspired tea set items to celebrate the festive season from 2:30 – 4:30 pm daily.

“This year the Food and Beverage team has taken the Christmas Sensation “Ocean of Light” theme to a new level. Apart from sustainable, delicious, and creative dishes that inspire adults’ and children’s imaginations, we have also created unique Doraemon-inspired Christmas meals, throughout several of our restaurants due to popular demand,” shares Mr Nick Lee, Senior Food & Beverage Operations Manager at Ocean Park.

Additionally, the Park will feature a range of colourful, festive merchandise items, including tee shirts, plush toys, and many more that also carry the Park’s marine conservation messages.  Visitors can take home matching Christmas themed pullovers with Ocean Park characters.
