A Unique Culinary Creation at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong
Grand Café at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong has long been renowned for serving one of the city’s most beloved renditions of Hainanese chicken rice. But now, the celebrated restaurant is making waves with a groundbreaking culinary creation — the Hainanese Chicken Rice Cake, a first-of-its-kind innovation that transforms the iconic Southeast Asian dish into an eye-catching and delectable cake.
This inventive masterpiece, measuring 20cm in diameter and weighing approximately 750g, is designed to serve three to four people. It reimagines traditional Hainanese chicken rice by layering fragrant, chicken-infused rice as the base and delicately arranging succulent poached yellow chicken slices on top. The cake is elegantly finished with cucumber slices circling the edges, while vibrant red and yellow cherry tomatoes add a pop of color.
No Hainanese chicken rice experience is complete without its signature condiments, and Grand Café stays true to tradition by serving the cake with spring onion and garlic sauce, dark soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce, allowing diners to enjoy the authentic flavors in every bite.

The Hainanese Chicken Rice Cake is a bold move, blurring the lines between savory and celebratory dining. While cakes are typically reserved for sweet indulgences, this creation taps into the nostalgia and comfort of a beloved classic, repackaged in an innovative, shareable format — perfect for special occasions, gatherings, or simply as a conversation starter.
Grand Café, known for its luxurious ambiance and exquisite dining experience, has once again proven its commitment to pushing culinary boundaries.
