The Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival is believed to have originated from the ancient ceremony of Sacrificing to the Moon Goddess for the year’s end harvest.

Villagers held ceremonies in preparation for the arrival of winter and to celebrate the beauty of the new moon. Mooncakes were baked and sent to relatives as gifts of family reunion. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were stacked into a pyramid to symbolise the thirteen moons of a “complete year,” that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary moon.

Today, the Mooncake festival has taken on a commercial twist with many buying it as gifts in the corporate world as well as between family and friends. At New Hong Kong Restaurant, we’ve retained the traditional recipe while giving our mooncakes a contemporary feel. Made from the finest ingredients and baked to perfection, our mooncakes (without preservatives) are always in high demand and it’s advisable for you to book beforehand to avoid disappointment.

The Zhong Yuen also known as the macabre sounding “Ghost Month Festival” is a Chinese belief that the gates of Hades are left open for a month for the spirits to wander into the land of the living. As a way of appeasing these spirits, paper offerings are burnt and lavish banquets and dinners are held in the middle of the month.

A lot of business people also hosts banquets and dinners during this time and at New Hong Kong Restaurant, our chefs have whipped up delectable delights both for the living and the dearly departed.
