Megabites: Ocean Park Halloween Fest

ocean-park-halloween-food

This year’s Ocean Park Halloween Fest has a Ghostbusters feel as it looks to make you laugh and scream! The Park will feature Halloween themed attractions where visitors looking for scares and excitement can test their proton run skills as the they run from hordes of ghosts in New York’s subway and streets!

As well as scares there’s creepy food during Halloween Fest and this year Ocean Park will be serving haunted school themed dishes.

At Café Ocean the Mortuary Set Menu features the Ghostly Toilet of Death (Tomato Ox Tail Soup) served in a toilet bowl-shaped container. Opening the toilet bowl lid reveals a skull-shaped piece of toast floating in the blood coloured soup. Amongst the main dish is the Biology Class of the Damned, an assorted platter presented to look like the organs of a human being. A seafood vegetable pâté for the brains, deep-fried chicken breasts with brie cheese for the lungs, a triangular roasted chicken fillet for the liver, a pan-fried beef striploin for the stomach and finally chipolata sausage in tomato sauce for the intestines. For dessert beware the ‘Possessed’ Chalkboard Eraser (Charcoal Helvetic Rolls).

All these Halloween Fest set menus are only available until 31 October.

Ocean Park Halloween 2015

The night before All Saints Day (1 November) is known as All Hallows Eve, which has evolved over the centuries to Halloween and been embraced locally as a time to dress up, have fun and eat sweet treats. Commercially a single night has become a season, and there’s no better example of this than Ocean Park where it’s 15th Halloween Fest is a 6 week branding bonanza for sponsors stretching from 18 September to 1 November.

Spokesperson Allan Zeman said Halloween Fest is principally targeted at Hongkongers… Which makes it hard to understand why H15 this year’s signature Halloween attraction, for a park looking to attract 36,000+ people a day, is a single person journey strapped to a board from your funeral through the first seven days postmortem. Needless to say advance registration on 4 and 10 September is required. Looking to cater to everyone Ocean Park has Halloween tie-ins with TV show The Walking Dead and anime favourite Doraemon among its 10 Halloween attractions and 12 seasonal shows. Not having previewed any of the these it’s impossible to comment on them, although calling an attraction Lolita Mansion seems a little distasteful. There are also a variety of themed menus on offer.

So grab a few friends, set aside your cyncism and have a little fun, entry is $345, but nothing is that simple these days and there are almost as many discounted entry tickets, passes and ways avoid queues as there days in Halloween Fest, take a look at their website to see how to save www.oceanpark.com.hk
