Share the wonders of the stars and reconnect with family as Canton Road invites guests to partake of its sumptuous mooncake selection beginning July 28
Originally held as a tribute for the end of harvest season, the festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, where the moon is at its brightest and fullest. The mooncake, its traditional delicacy, is a pastry deemed to be a sweet highlight to the already vibrant festivities.
This year, Canton Road shoots for the moon and marries classic and contemporary flavors in its selection. Pineapple, White Lotus with Salted Egg Yolk, Red Bean and Pine Nuts, Mixed Nuts and Black Sesame round up the traditional portion, while the restaurant expands its repertoire of contemporary flavors. This includes Matcha, Ube Macapuno and Apple Cinnamon, the last one highly inspired by the property’s newest neighborhood bake shop Bake House which opened its doors this month. Prices for individual mooncakes starts at Php 388++ per piece.
Canton Road also introduces the Stellar Snow Skin Collection, where guests can avail of the restaurant’s miniature snow skin sweets exclusively for this period. Take a bite into these soft, delicate and custard-filled delights, available in Mango, Salted Egg Yolk Cream and Ube Macapuno at Php 388++ per piece.
Make the season extra special with the restaurant’s customizable mooncake hampers. Guests can mix and match their own hampers with goodies like Ming Cha Pu Er tea, Anakena red or white wine, flower dry mushrooms, Vegetarian XO Sauce, or cheese cashew nus. Prices may vary depending on the content of the hampers.
