Kowloon Shangri-La has teamed up with food-saving app Chomp to launch a buffet box concept, now available at Café Kool. This sustainable initiative, starting from HK$88, allows diners to enjoy gourmet buffet offerings at home or outdoors without the guilt of food waste. The buffet box comes in four options—meat, seafood, vegetarian and halal—and is available daily for lunch (12.30pm-2.30pm) and dinner (6.30pm-9:30pm). Orders can be placed via the Chomp app just half an hour before Café Kool opens, with each box served in biodegradable packaging from local eco-brand Sustainabl.

This partnership not only offers a more eco-friendly way to indulge in buffet dining but also addresses Hong Kong’s significant food waste issue, with buffets known to generate up to 50% of waste. By providing surplus food at a discount, Chomp and Café Kool aim to lead a movement towards reducing landfill waste and promoting sustainability across the city’s F&B sector. Whether you’re after seafood or vegetarian delights, the buffet box offers a convenient and conscious way to enjoy high-quality buffet fare.
