How it's used
Easter eggs are primarily associated with the Western holiday of Easter and are not a traditional part of local Chinese culture. When people in Hong Kong talk about them, they are almost always referring to the chocolate variety found in supermarkets or bakeries rather than the traditional dyed hard boiled eggs. The activity of hiding and hunting for these eggs is often referred to as 搵復活蛋.
