McDonald’s has launched a Hello Kitty crystal mahjong set in Hong Kong

Feel like regular mahjong sets are too bland? Check out this special crystal mahjong set from McDonald’s Hong Kong.

Singapore’s McDonald’s might have har cheong gai chicken drumlets and kueh bangkit-flavoured soft serve, but Hong Kong has one-upped us this Chinese New Year with not only a McDonald’s x Hello Kitty collaboration menu, but also a limited-edition crystal mahjong set.

The traditional motifs usually seen on mahjong tiles take on an adorable twist in this exclusive set to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary and the upcoming Chinese New Year. The bamboo suit has been replaced with french fries and the usual red, green, and blue dots are now yellow, green, and brown, resembling the patty, lettuce, and bun respectively. Each of the honour tiles includes Hello Kitty’s signature red bow, while the white dragon tile features the top of the character’s head peeking out from the frame. The flower tiles, too, have been replaced with Hello Kitty eating or sipping on various McDonald’s classics.

Each set comes in a faux-leather mahjong box with the same McDonald’s and Hello Kitty branding featured on the red tile back. Aside from the tiles, the box comes with everything you need to play mahjong: three dice and a wind indicator, as well as a gold authentication card with the serial number of each set. There are also two blank tiles in case you lose any of the tiles in the original set.

So how do you get it? All you need to do is download McDonald’s Hong Kong app and purchase 10 HK$20 food gift certificates. From there, an option will show up for you to add HK$788 (approx. S$135) to get the McDonald’s x Hello Kitty crystal mahjong set. Once your order is confirmed, you can pick up the mahjong set and vouchers on the same day at the designated McDonald’s locations, which you can check through the app.
