Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most celebrated festivals in Chinese culture. A lunar appreciation marking the end of the autumn harvest, the festival serves as an occasion for families and communities to come together and appreciate the quintessential delicacy of the festival – mooncakes. For this year’s festival, Grand Hyatt Macau is pleased to present a repertoire of Mid-Autumn delights that best epitome the traditional and contemporary gourmet experience.
Admired by Chinese for hundreds of years, Lotus is one of China’s top ten flowers, often characterized as “Live in the silt but not imbrued”. It has come to symbolize a great many things — most commonly purity and dignity. As suggested by the name “Lua de Lótus” — the purity of the mind and soul upon the fullest and brightest moon — this year’s custom designed mooncake gift box features a classically designed chest adorned with whimsical lotus illustrations. The green hue coinciding the Macao SAR flag is a perfect salutation to the 20th anniversary of the handover. Moreover, the bouncy jade rabbits serve as a symbol of peace and harmony glamorized by a hint of Portuguese charm.
The history of Chinese ceramics can be traced back to over ten thousand years ago. During the 16-17th centuries, Macau was the major gateway for international ceramics trade. To this end, the hotel has especially created an exquisite ceramic-shaped mooncake gift box highlighted by a curvy bottle that doubles as a tea container or a vase.
Beneath the glow of the full moon, savor the silk-smooth custard fillings and the golden crumbly exterior, the egg custard mooncakes are an absolute delight to be enjoyed with your beloved ones.
Priced at MOP588*, the “Lua de Lótus” mooncake gift boxes are available for pre-order in gift certificates and guests can redeem at Lobby Boutique from August 19 to September 13, 2019. For more information or order details, please contact at +853 8868 1131 or [email protected].
