Taj Krishna Hosts Moon Cake Festival

Hyderabad|India|October'2009: Taj Krishna is hosting Moon Cake Festival at its signature Chinese restaurant Golden Dragon. The festival is from October 18 to 25, 2009.

The age old Autumn Moon legend comes alive as Chef Hung Fong Ng recreates the exotic, colourful Chinese Moon festival with delicious moon cakes and special menu of exquisite specialties. The most revered and widely celebrated of the Chinese holidays; the festival enjoys worldwide popularity and represents togetherness and harmony.

The Moon Cake Festival is often compared to a sort of “Chinese Thanksgiving” because of its spirit of gratitude and its inclusion of abundant food — including the popular moon cake.

Enjoy traditional mooncakes – symbolic of the full moon – round pastries filled with lotus seed paste with one to four egg yolks, or the newer varieties with nuts, red bean paste, fruits and coffee flavour. Besides the symbolic mooncakes, Golden Dragon brings to the table many Chinese delicacies like braised chilly crab meat, stir fried tenderloin and shingdow dry black pepper lamb.

Come over for a lavish lunch or dine in the light of a full, perfectly round, moon symbolic of family togetherness, bonds of friendship and romance. The Moon Cake festival is a la carte for lunch and dinner.
