Egg-cellent things to do this Easter

11 April, 2020 by Rebecca Simpson 7 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/things-to-do-this-easter-hong-kong/

Chocolate and cute little fluffy bunnies – what’s not to like about Easter? With so many of us staying in Hong Kong, it’s time to make the most of the activities here. We’ve rounded up some things to do for a cracking good time over the break.

Note: rules and regulations for dining are changing in Hong Kong. If you’re looking to dine in, please call ahead to check the venue’s latest status.

Make some Easter Crafts

You don’t need much to set up a fun crafts sesh for the kids. Gather items from around the house (recycled paper, bottles, toilet paper rolls – whatever you can get your hands on) plus some paints, markers, glue and scissors, and you’re good to go!

Not sure what to make? There are plenty of great sites where you can get fab ideas for Easter crafts. Many of them come with supply lists, step-by-step instructions and photos so you can follow along easily. You’ll also find loads of cute printables and colouring sheets that you can download for free. Here are a few to get you started:

  • Paper roll chick
  • Tin foil Easter eggs
  • Paper plate Easter bunny
  • Egg carton Easter basket

Watch some movies

What better time to sit down as a family and enjoy a good show? Here are some suggestions:

  • Based on the series by Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit is an animated film about mischievous rabbits Peter (voiced by James Corden) and his three sisters that make fun of their neighbour Mr McGregor and steal vegetables from his garden.

Peter Rabbit and friends

  • Hop tells the story of a rabbit called E.B. (the Easter Bunny’s son), who runs away to Hollywood to become a drummer. He ends up being knocked down by a car, driven by Fred, who wants to become the first human Easter bunny.
  • Who doesn’t love Zootopia? Join cute and optimistic officer Judy Hopps (yes, she’s a bunny) from the Zootopia Police Department as she tries to solve the mystery of missing mammals. The show isn’t just all laughs; it also explores relevant issues such as prejudice and morality.

Judy Hopps Zootopia

  • If sweet things are on the kids’ minds, they’ll love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Starring Johnny Depp as the eccentric Willy Wonka, the 2005 version of the story will have you drooling at the scenes of chocolates and laughing at the silly Oompa Loompas.

Try a Staycation!

EASTer staycation at EAST

Hop into the holidays with a food-filled staycation at EAST. The staycation includes a night in a harbour-view room or suite, an in-room egg hunt, daily breakfast, Easter lunch or dinner, and a family photo taken at FEAST (Food by EAST). On Sunday, FEAST will be pulling out all of the stops with special festive lunch and dinner experiences. The three-course lunch is priced at HK$338 per adult and the four-course dinner at HK$458 per adult. Kids under 12 will be served a cute Bento Box for free! The fun doesn’t stop there: dessert is a smashing good time with a super-instagrammable chocolate bomb easter egg. Crack it open with a wooden hammer and it will reveal a surprise. We want one too!

½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
