As the sweltering summer months approach in Hong Kong, ice cream is possibly THE most coveted sweet treat to beat the heat.

We’re starting this summer 2026 strong with an ice-cream sundae that stands out from the pack with its inventive local flair. Undoubtedly costly given its Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong provenance, the Hong Kong Chill (HKD208) sundae by executive pastry chef Ringo Chan is a tribute to the city’s beloved pineapple bun.

In this showstopping sundae, a house-made pineapple bun is infused overnight in milk and cream to craft the ice cream, then paired with the crackled crust top of a pineapple bun alongside soy milk ice cream, sugar-dusted fried egg puff, and crisp tuile.

If pineapple buns aren’t your thing, two more summery sundae creations are on the menu at The Lounge for a limited time. The Choco-nuts and Honeycomb Toffee (HKD208) sundae features 70 percent dark chocolate, cashews, hokey-pokey ice cream, stroopwafel, and blackcurrant marshmallow, whilst the Tropical Island (HKD208) sundae comes complete with toasted pineapple and coconut ice cream, soursop sorbet, an oversized pineapple chip, and virgin mojito jelly.
