Mid-Autumn festival: Vacheron Constantin's Nice Gesture.

Mid-Autumn festival also known as Mooncake festival is celebrated across Asia and is held on the 15^th day of August of the Chinese calendar. It is a tradition to mark the end of the autumn harvest that became popular during the Tang Dynasty. The full moon on this day is believed to be the brightest. Mooncakes are the highlight of this occasion and families will gather together, where the kids light up lanterns while the adults enjoy mooncakes and sip Chinese tea.

This year, I was pleasantly surprised to receive this lovely box of mooncakes from Vacheron Constantin. Unlike many versions of mooncakes nowadays, featuring unique flavours from salted caramel to chilli padi (yes, you’ve read it right), these are the traditional baked ones made with white lotus seed paste and salted egg york. They are definitely one of my favourites. It comes in a beautiful black box with Vacheron Constantin's signature Maltese Cross motifs.

A pack of four pieces.

The Maltese Cross imprinted on the mooncakes.

The single salted egg york taste good and add a rich flavor to the light lotus paste.

Thank you Vacheron Constantin for the nice gesture!
