The first panda cubs born in Hong Kong will turn 100 days old on November 23 and their Ocean Park home is celebrating by dishing out signature local delicacies such as red eggs and ginger pork knuckles to visitors.

Ocean Park announced a “roaring” celebration on Thursday for panda cubs “Elder Sister” and “Younger Brother”, along with the reopening of some giant panda attractions.

“Panda dad Le Le is eagerly looking forward to meeting everyone as Giant Panda Adventure reopens on November 23 from 10am to 3pm daily until further notice,” the park said.

While the cubs would not be meeting the public yet, live streams of their daily lives would be broadcast on a giant LED screen at Whiskers Theatre at its Wong Chuk Hang location.

The park said limited seats would be reserved for its annual pass holders on a first-come, first-served basis.

Red eggs and ginger pork knuckles – a traditional Chinese dish typically served to family and friends after a baby is born – will also be handed out in designated areas around the park, along with panda-themed crafting workshops, photo opportunities, and performances.
