Buy Christmas cookies to benefit charity at the Gingerbread For Bread pop-up

There’s nothing more Christmassy than a well-crafted (or dilapidated, depending on your skills) gingerbread project! Gingerbread For Good is a super fun and festive pop-up taking place in December, and it benefits the city’s most vulnerable communities. Local NGO Cookie Smiles has partnered with fashion boutique JOYCE, enlisting 12 of Hong Kong’s most prominent chefs and culinary figures to create their own gastronomic spins on gingerbread men. The limited edition treats are available at the New World Tower pop-up from December 6-23, with all proceeds going to ImpactHK, as well as Splash Foundation, Shine Skills Centre, and the Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association. Some variations we’ve been told to expect include a rich chocolate red velvet cookie with traditional flavours from Cookie DPT, a baijiu five-spice gingerbread man, and a savoury rosemary molasses and sea salt concoction from Salisterra at The Upper House.
