Mid-Autumn traditions come alive in the country’s first sky hotel
The festival has been the second most celebrated event next to Chinese New Year. It is when the moon is in its fullest state, symbolizing harmony and prosperity. It is believed that the behaviour of the moon affects the production of local goods, thus during this day, gratitude is expressed and sacrifices were offered through a special delicacy, mooncakes.
The Marco Polo Ortigas Manila heralds rich tradition and culture with authentic mooncakes imported directly from Hong Kong. Inspired by the Orient’s traditional flowers, this year’s featured mooncakes symbolize luck, prosperity and honour. Welcome this auspicious time with Plum Blossom (set of four pieces) and Peony (half-dozen set) gift boxes available at Php 2,588 and Php 3,588, respectively.
Gather the family for a celebration with fine dishes at the hotel’s award-winning Cantonese restaurant, Lung Hin. Guests are transported to Hong Kong through the fine art of Cantonese cuisine with highly experienced Chinese Chefs. Boasting a well-defined menu that goes across dim sum, roast meats, and seafood, Lung Hin has been designed to delight guests with its exemplary service, tasteful interiors and wonderful food creations.
Lung Hin is located at Level 44 of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila. To know more about the hotel, visit www.marcopolohotels.com. Follow the Hotel in Facebook at facebook.com/MarcoPoloOrtigasManila or @MarcoPoloManila on Twitter or Instagram.
