A Hong Kong mall is Smurfing up some blue pudding and cupcakes
If blue -- and I mean Smurf blue -- pudding is your thing, you need to head over to Hong Kong for an array of desserts and snacks recreated by a group of restaurants in tribute to the little blue characters.
The Harbour City mall in Hong Kong is playing host to a Smurf art exhibition for a month, and has also turned one of its courtyards into a Smurf village with a 6 metre-tall mushroom house as its centrepiece.
Harbour City's restaurants are also participating in the Smurf madness, and have come up with some visually delightful tributes.
