Take-out Christmas
Hong Kong
Main St Deli at the Langham
The Deli at The Langham offers two options: a traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, or something from the turkey-to-go menu. The festive ready-cooked bird can be carefully packed and delivered straight to your door. To enjoy the feast at home, the turkey-to-go menu has two tantalizing combinations, priced at HK$1,688 ($218) to feed six to 10 people, or HK$2,388 for 16 to 20 guests. Forty-eight hours advance booking is required.
