Marking the season of reunion and togetherness, the restaurant will introduce a Mahjong Club, Mooncake Masterclass & Dinner experiences, specially curated festival menus, and a restyled of the Little Blue Noodle Bar outdoor terrace.

Mahjong Mondays

• A beloved pastime across Asia and beyond, Mahjong brings together strategy, conversation and friendly competition. This autumn, guests are invited to gather in Canton Blue's Tea Lounge for the launch of their Mahjong Club, where beautifully crafted game sets, courtesy of Cathay Pacific, provide the focal point for leisurely evenings with friends. Cathay Pacific partnered with Hong Kong woodwork atelier Start From Zero to create Canton Blue’s mahjong sets, which are made from recycled wood and feature Jade green tiles and aviation-inspired details. Each booking includes exclusive use of a Mahjong table, a steaming bowl of hand-pulled noodles and an Apricot gin and Yellow Baijiu martini, offering a relaxed setting in which to enjoy one of Asia's most enduring social traditions. Available to book every Monday from 12-9 PM.
