Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with the family would not be complete without a box of delightful mooncakes.

Fret not as Hilton Manila has recently announced an assortment of handcrafted mooncakes dubbed “Moonlight Bloom,” which is available in five distinct sets handcrafted by Hua Yuan Chef Xia Quiao Yuan.

The promotional period starts in September but there is an early bird discount of 15% from August 1 to 31, according to Hilton Manila. The five sets are Traditional Mooncake, Boutique Mooncake, Snow Skinned Mooncake, Shanghainese Mooncake, and the Luxury Set.

Each set is presented in a ruby red packaging adorned with golden motifs inspired by the traditional art of Chinese paper-cutting.
