This March, things are not only ramping up in the art department, but in the arts all around. The 18th Asian Film Awards is taking place on Mar. 16, 2025 in the West Kowloon Cultural District, a crucial time to spotlight and celebrate Asian cinema!

This prestigious annual event will bring together celebrated figures and rising talent in the film industry. During the grand ceremony, categories such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress will be judged by a panel of former award nominees and winners.

What's more, The Langham Hong Kong is launching a glittering limited-edition afternoon tea set in collaboration with the Asian Film Awards and influenced by the diverse cultures of Asia and the beauty and artistry of film, available from Mar. 1 to 31, 2025.

Presented by The Langham’s team of experienced chefs at Palm Court, the sweet and savory bites are emblems of creativity, drawn from the theme of the Asian Film Awards, “Empowering Ideas Together." These include striking imagery of mountains, symbolizing the strength and resilience of filmmakers. This motif also shows up in the design of the Asian Film Awards trophy, with mountain contours representing the filmmakers’ mental fortitude and ambition of climbing to the very top.

The Asian Film Awards Afternoon Tea presents a curated selection of savory and sweet delicacies, celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Asia. Among the savory offerings are the Hamachi Tart with kimchi and caviar, Iberico Pork Brioche Slider, Hong Kong style Chicken Pie with morels, and healthy Vietnamese Rice Rolls. The dessert menu features inspired creations such as Mango Pomelo Cake, a nod to Hong Kong’s iconic dessert; Strawberry Tart crafted with seasonal Korean strawberries; Black Sesame Ganache Cake; and a Japanese-inspired Green Tea and Yuzu dessert.

To encourage a greater appreciation for Asian cinema, The Langham Hong Kong is offering 20 complimentary tickets to the "Asian Film Tour – the 18th Asian Film Awards Selected Films" screening.

These tickets will be given to afternoon tea guests on a first come, first served basis throughout the promotional period. Each afternoon tea set for two will include a pair of tickets to screenings of films nominated at this year's 18th Asian Film Awards.

Reservations for the 18th Asian Film Awards Afternoon Tea are available here. On weekdays, the afternoon tea is priced at HK$738 for two. Two sessions are available on weekends and public holidays and are priced at HK$768 for two.
