Winter has finally arrived and the final season of Game of Thrones is approaching fast. We can’t believe this epic series is coming to a close and if you’re anything like us you’ve been crossing the days off your calendar since they released the teaser poster last year.
Whether you are a hardcore Targaryen fan, want to be best mates with Tyrion Lannister or you’re still crying over Ned Stark’s early and quite frankly upsetting demise, you will no doubt find yourself identifying with your favourite characters and fantasising how you, if given half the chance, would be the one to take over the Iron Throne in a blaze of wildfire, sword brandished, screaming ‘victory!!!” (we’ve thought about it a bit, can you tell?)
We don’t get to choose our family though and if you’ve wondered which house you’d fit into then take a look at the list of Offers below and see which one appeals to you most to reveal your house!
There are dozens of houses, of course, so we chose 7 of the well-known names to get you started.
HOUSE STARK
Emack & Bolio’s – Multiple Locations
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Signature Cone with One Scoop
Savings: HKD68
XTC Gelato – Multiple Outkets
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Double Scoop
Savings: HKD50
Rulers of the North, immune to cold weather and tough as old boots. House Stark is a smart and brave House and if you’re the kind of person who eats ice cream no matter the weather or occasion, you’d fit in well with the likes of Ned Stark with a dire wolf by your side. In the harshest of environments, Ned managed to thrive and if push came to shove, he could probably have made food from the snow he found himself surrounded by, which would be perfect for an ice cream lover like yourself right?!
HOUSE BARATHEON
Fofo – M88, 2-8 Wellington Street
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Weekday Lunch or Saturday Brunch
Estimated Savings: HKD300
La Paloma – 189 Queen’s Road West
Offer: Weekend Brunch
Estimated Savings: HKD250
Once a great house, the Baratheon bloodline is technically no longer in existence since the death of Robert and Stannis Baratheon but if you’re a ‘have your cake and eat it too’ kind of person, this might just be the house for you. Robert was a great King, but he liked to indulge. He had a taste for rich food, hunting, women…he took what he wanted, never learnt his lesson and went back for more. Long brunches were probably his favourite thing and might just be yours too.
HOUSE TARGARYEN
Dan Ryan’s Chicago Grill – Multiple Locations
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Main Course
Estimated Savings: HKD250
Cali-Mex Bar & Grill – Multiple Locations
Offer: Main Course
Estimated Savings: HKD150
I think most people are in agreement that House Targaryen is one to be feared and admired in equal measures. You might not like Daenerys or her father, the Mad King, but a House with Dragons is not one to be crossed. With a simple command, you could become BBQ’d dragon chow if the Mother of Dragons felt so inclined and that’s why, if smoked meat with that mouthwatering crispy BBQ flavour is your ideal meal, House Targaryen is the right fit for you.
HOUSE LANNISTER
Table – The Pemberton, 22-26 Bonham Strand
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Main Course
Estimated Savings: HKD243
ENVY – 18 Brown Street, Tai Hang
Offer: 25% Off 9-Course Tasting Menu
Savings: HKD666
So they say a Lannister always pays their debts and with the number of underhand dealings they do, it’s a good job too. Fierce and strong-willed, the lion on House Lannister’s sigil suits them well; as would a fancy, fine dining experience. If you drool at the thought of perfectly plated food that’s good for your eyes, belly and Instagram feed, we think you would feel right at home around a dinner table with the Lannisters, plotting your next move and who to bump off next.
HOUSE TYRELL
Spa L’Occitane – TST & Tuen Mun
Offer: 50% Off Immortelle Divine Secret
Savings: HKD710
Sense of Touch – Multiple Locations
Offer: 50% Off Waxing
Savings: HKD490
While ruling over Highgarden and with a rose as their sigil, you would be forgiven for thinking the Tyrells were an easy touch. But the point of their sigil is to show even something beautiful, like a rose, has hidden thorns. With their fair and often cunning way of doing business, the Tyrells are a cool, calm and collected bunch. If a spa visit fills you with joy, you would feel at ease in Highgarden laughing over your next chess move and admiring the flowers.
HOUSE TULLY
The Yoga Room – 104 Jervois Street
Offer: 50% Off Drop-in Yoga Class
Savings: HKD140
Yoga Refine – 17 Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay
Offer: 50% Off Yoga Refine
Savings: HKD75
With a strong affiliation to water and being the House tied to Riverrun, The Tully’s are smart, persistent and charming people. With links and ties to many other Houses through marriage, they are fluid and adaptable with their approach – just like a bunch of graceful, shape-making yogis. When you make plans at the weekend and your first thought is to “go with the flow” – as in a literal flow class in a yoga studio (sweat copiously flowing down your body, too, natch) – then the Tully’s are your kind of people.
NIGHT’S WATCH
McSorley’s – Multiple Locations
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Bottle of House Beverage
Estimated Savings: HKD350
Amazake – 1 On Hing Terrace, Central
Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free House Beverage
Estimated Savings: HKD70
Full of misfits, outlaws and staunchly proud men, the Night’s Watch is a dark, hardened place to find yourself. With a duty to watch over the wall and protect Westeros from what lies beyond, a good stiff drink could be the one thing pulling you through those long hard nights. If staying up all night, bonding with your fellow night owls and knocking back a few are top of your list of fun things to do, you should definitely be sworn into the Night’s Watch.
