Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with Moon Cakes

Mooncakes by Marriott Manila is Your Mid-Autumn Festival Must-Have


Taking its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season, the Mid-Autumn Festival (popularly known here as Mooncake Festival), is the second grandest festival in China after the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month.

For this year (2017), it will fall on October 4 and will prolong to Oct. 8. It falls right on my birth week, LOL.

On Festival Day, families gather around and offer sacrifice to the bright full moon, eat moon cakes, and express strong well wishes toward family members and friends who live afar. Thus, moon cakes come to symbolize family togetherness and prosperity.

Marriott Hotel Manila joins the festival by offering its guests with moon cakes sealed in an elegant oriental two-layer box. Mooncakes by Marriott are meticulously handcrafted and come in variety of authentic fillings derived from delicious Chinese flavors. Flavors include the white lotus that has a fragrant and sweet taste; red bean on the other has earthy and lingering sweetness to it; and pineapple paste is a zesty surprise to the collection. This must-have mooncake package can be purchased per piece at Php288 nett or a box of 8 pieces for Php 2,488nett at the Marriott Café Bakery, located at the ground floor of the Main Hotel, and at Man Ho Chinese restaurant, which is at the ground floor of West Wing.

Join the festivities by sending out this thoughtful gift box or enjoy it for yourself under the brightest moon every year.

I got a taste of these authentic yummy Chinese Mooncakes by Marriott sometime in 2012 when my husband stayed at Marriott Ningbo, China.
