Beyond making and selling premium mooncakes during this season, the two-month campaign is intended to make hotel guests at Manila Marriott experience the mid-autumn festival with Marriott and Filipino touch, not only in their Michelin-Selected authentic Cantonese Restaurant; Man Ho, but also in all their restaurants and bars, including staycation, with a semblance of how it is done in neighboring countries like China, Singapore and Malaysia. The MOONFEST will include selling mooncakes in elegant packaging as a gift idea and pairing them with first-class teas, two kitchen takeovers, and launch of Manila Marriott’s latest innovation in two of its restaurants as shared by Chef Chan Chi Fai, Man Ho’s Chinese Executive Chef.
