Colorful buffet

Aroma, an all-day-dining restaurant, offers up a color-themed buffet lunch for summer. The special colors are red on Monday, white on Tuesday and pink on Wednesday. On Monday, ladies will receive a raspberry lavender mousse cake. On Tuesday it will be ivory chocolate. A pink strawberry panna cotta is offered on Wednesday. The restaurant's bar has also produced three mocktails for the three days: a "wonder watermelon" in red, a vanilla milkshake in white and a "pinky peachy" drink. Executive chef Li Zhaodong says the main dishes in the buffet also feature the colors red, white and pink. Australian Angus beef is red, cod and sea bass are white, tuna and salmon sashimi are pink. "These bright colors make the food tempting," Li says. Ladies who dress to match the special color theme of the day have a chance to win prizes. The lunch costs 318 yuan ($51) plus 15 percent surcharge per head.
