Have you guys ever heard of something called the August Moon
Festival?
Whatever your answer is, do read on as we got to know about
it recently and celebrated this auspicious event at none other than Memories of
China, Vivanta by Taj—M.G Road, Bangalore. This festival is regarded as the
second grandest festival in China and is also known as the mid-autumn festival.
It is called the August Moon Festival because at this time
of the year the moon is at its brightest and roundest. The festival is
associated with family engagement, traditional Chinese food and moon cakes.
They have a special menu for this festival and it kicked off
from the 1st of September. The menu has a great balance between
Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian items but does not have any desserts. So, if you
have a dessert craving then the main menu will come to your rescue.
We tried almost the entire menu, but we will be talking
about the highlights only. As the preparations are Authentic Chinese, there are
chances that some might not be palate friendly.
