Mid-autumn treasures at Newport World Resorts

Mid-autumn Festival is on September 29 this year and it is essential to celebrate it with a mooncake. 

Various legends tell about the story of the mooncake but this is one occasion that I don't want to miss. The treat of eating a lotus seed mooncake with a surprise yolk at the center. Sometimes, a fortune paper is also enclosed inside it that will inspire after eating the mooncake.

Today, I just found out that Newport World Resorts is offering different mooncake treats for order and they look nice and I'm sure they taste good too. Check out the different offerings from the different hotels at NWR:

I was fascinated by this Lantern Box containing 4 mooncakes from NWR. This is an exquisite and radiant take on the traditional delicacy for the mooncake celebration, and illuminating the feast with the sumptuous mooncake collection crafted by NWR chefs. It Comes in Ube, Red Bean and Lotus flavors. The box is a novelty and I want to keep for myself. It is already available for pre-order and release will be on September 1-30. You may call +63 2 7908 8009 / +63 917 878 8856.

Marriott Hotel also gives an elegant box for its mooncakes. They come in Red Lotus, White Lotus, Durian, and Wine Cranberry flavors and or every mooncake purchase, part of the proceeds will go to Save the Children.

At Hilton Manila, you can bask in the elegance of blooming blossoms and the radiance of the full moon with the Moonlight Bloom mooncake gift sets. Choose from their Traditional, Boutique, Snow Skinned, and Shanghainese Mooncakes or their Luxury Set, available until September 29.

Visit Newport World Resorts this season and get yourself a box or for gifting. An advanced Happy Mooncake Festival to everyone!
