THE MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL
Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with family and friends at The Peninsula Bangkok and enjoy a special set menu and legendary mooncakes at the award-winning Mei Jiang Cantonese restaurant.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivities in China when families gather together to light lanterns, share mooncakes and swap stories about legends of the moon. In Chinese folklore, the full moon is a symbol for family reunions, which is why the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as a time for family get-togethers.
The festival is also known as the Moon Festival as it is celebrated when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, and it also traditionally denotes the end of the summer harvest season. As its name suggests, the main culinary highlight of this festival is the mooncake, which is traditionally shared among family members while moon-watching, or given as gifts to family, friends and business associates.
This year Chef Jackie Ho and his team at Mei Jiang will produce approximately 80,000 mooncakes by hand, which is more than 2,600 pieces per day. As each weighs 25 grams, a total of approximately 16 tons of ingredients are used.
The Peninsula mooncakes are available in two flavours, Lotus Paste and the original Egg Custard presented in boxes of eight at Baht 480 per box at Mei Jiang, The Peninsula Boutique and The Peninsula Boutique and Café at Siam Paragon Shopping Center (Main Level, Crystal Court). Bulk orders are available with special corporate prices, and delivery service can be arranged on request.
From 1 to 14 September, mooncakes are also on sale at The Emporium (5th floor, opposite the supermarket entrance), Siam Paragon Shopping Center (Ground Floor, in front of the Gourmet Market) and Tops Supermarket at Central Chidlom.
