The Legend of the Moon Festival

Celebrate the Moon Festival at Mandarin Featuring 12 New Buffet Dishes added From Sept 8 – Oct 18

Also known as Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival is celebrated by millions worldwide. The celebration is rooted in the 3,000-year-old legend of Hou Yi and the Moon Goddess, Chang Er.

Moon Festival is observed on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, this year on September 25th. On this date, the moon is believed to be brighter and rounder than on any other night of the year. Moon Festival marks the autumn harvest season and serves as a symbol of family unity and prosperity. During this time, traditions like lighting lanterns signify hope for a prosperous future, while the sharing of Moon Cakes represent completeness.

To honour and experience food traditions, Mandarin has integrated a curated selection of seasonal items into their menu.
