Dating back to the Shang Dynasty, ancient Chinese emperors worshipped the moon to thank the gods for a plentiful harvest, believing that this would also bring abundance the following year. Falling on the 15th day of the eight lunar month of every year, when the moon is at its brightest and fullest, Mooncake Festival symbolizes familial reunion, thanksgiving and peace in Chinese traditions. SM Supermalls will don specially designed lanterns, accompanied by myriad of decorative installations.
From September 12 to 18, SM Supermalls will celebrate Mooncake Festival, Asian Treasures and a Chinese Food Fest. From collecting Chinese trinkets and treats at selected establishments to bagging exclusive discounts at their favorite Chinese restaurants, a festive week of tradition and togetherness await the families! But the most representative tradition of this festival is eating and offering of the mooncakes. A Chinese indispensable delicacy, shaped like the full harvest moon of Mid-Autumn’s evening, most mooncakes consist of a baked pastry skin enveloping a sweet, dense filling. SM Supermalls is celebrating this hallmark tradition by showcasing different variants of mooncakes and encouraging families to share it as a sign of unity. SM Supermalls is also giving away P1,000 worth of GCs and special SM Markets’ grocery packs to 5 winners.
