In anticipation of the harvest
season, Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver is celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival with a memorable
afternoon tea on Sunday, September 18. Afternoon tea will be served on the
sixth floor heated outdoor Terrace, an urban oasis to enjoy a tea
tower with loved ones.
Mid-Autumn Festival falls on
the 15th day of the eight month of the Chinese calendar, when the
moon is at its brightest. Mid-Autumn Festival has been celebrated since the
early Tang dynasty (618-907), when families would gather to make offerings of
gratitude for a plentiful harvest. Today it remains a significant family
holiday, as loved ones reunite to share quality time together.
Executive Chef Ken Nakano and
his team of expert pastry chefs have created a festive afternoon tea tower that
incorporates many of the traditional foods that are consumed during Mid-Autumn
Festival. Symbolic ingredients such as crab, duck, lotus root, taro, pear, and
watermelon are very popular during the festival, often signifying luck, unity,
happiness, good fortune and fertility.
The Mid-Autumn Afternoon Tea
tower includes savoury items such as: BBQ Duck Salad Steam Bun; Dungeness Crab
“Louis” on Gem Lettuce; Emperor Ham Sandwich with Pickled Lotus Root; and Warm
Side Striped Shrimp Fritter with Water Chestnuts. Sweets include: White
Chocolate Truffle with Jasmine Tea Ganache, Matcha Opera Cake with Golden
Pearls, Five-Spice Shortbread and Pineapple Cream, and Mango Mousse with
Coconut Tuile. Each tea tower also comes with a classic butter and raisin-infused
scone, and a taro scone, with clotted cream and house made coconut jam. As a
nod to the important food tradition of Mid-Autumn Festival, each table
served during afternoon tea will receive one mooncake to go, to share with
friends and family.
Mid-Autumn Afternoon Tea is
available exclusively on Sunday, 18 September 2016, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. and is priced at CAD 60 per person. Children’s Afternoon Tea is available
