Thanksgiving is an annual celebration of harvest and bounty, first celebrated by European colonists in North America. Today, the tradition of a bountiful feast remains strong and one of the most widely-celebrated national holidays in the United States. Whether you’re looking for a way to celebrate the holiday distanced from home, or looking for any good excuse for a fantastic holiday feast, here are some Thanksgiving options we’ve found across Hong Kong this year.
La Paloma
Sai Ying Pun’s favorite sexy tapas bar has created a unique “Spanish x American Thanksgiving” dinner spread, one of the best Thanksgiving sets. Only available for one night, on November 25th, La Paloma is delivering traditional Thanksgiving dishes with a distinct Spanish touch for the low price of $398 per person. Start your celebration with a variety of La Paloma’s Spanish tapas, such as Spanish “Bombas”. After that, La Paloma serves up authentic American mains and side dishes. The focus of this feast is the usual Wood-roasted Organic Turkey. Accompanied by a variety of traditional sides including Stuffing, Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta, and more. Finish the dinner with a distinctly All-American Pumpkin and Pecan Pie topped with Vanilla Ice Cream for a soothing but opulent finish.
