New Kids Area guaranteed to keep them – and parents – happy!

SHANGHAI, Aug. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --   Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao has been using the summer break to totally revamp the popular Sunday Brunch at the Essence restaurant, re-launching on 26 August with a fantastic new line-up of dishes and a new Kids Area.

While parents enjoy a relaxed meal, the kids can tuck into their own exclusive selection of buffet favourites and then be left in the safe hands of the hotel's child minders to enjoy all the fun of the Kids Area, located alongside the Pulse Bar.

Besides popular features like a clown, magician, balloon maker, story-teller and special areas for TV games, crayoning and cartoon watching, the Kids Area will introduce a range of traditional games such as finger puppets, hopscotch and dolls – the sort of fun activities enjoyed by their parents in the days before iPads, electronic gadgets and TV games.

"Our Sunday Brunch has always been popular with families," said Brice Pean, General Manager of Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao. "Now with a range of fun new activities in the Kids Area, parents will have more time to savour some of our new dishes at the buffet tables." He said all the children will be given a Brunch Passport, so regulars who collect ten stamps can claim a special gift.

Among the new features in the Essence dining area is a Chinese Show Kitchen that includes the famous Cantonese dim sum so that diners can enjoy traditional yum cha as part of their brunch experience. There's also a Fresh Juice Bar that offers both vegetables and fruit; a Butcher Counter where guests can choose from a range of prepared raw meat to have the chef BBQ to their liking; the popular Seafood & Japanese counter; and separate Western and Asian counters. Desserts are plentiful, including crepes and pancakes, and large cheese selection.

Mr. Brice Pean noted, that "for the ultimate indulgence, guests can gorge on unlimited servings of foie gras and American oysters," but with limited space, "advance bookings are recommended."

The Essence Sunday Brunch is served from 12am to 3pm and costs only RMB358++ for adults and RMB179++ for children, including soft drinks.  For just RMB60++ extra, adults can enjoy free-flowing house wine, sparkling wine and draft beer – and if they prefer Mumm champagne to sparkling wine, the total cost is still only RMB518++.
