Where To Order Festive, Lucky Dishes For Your Mid-Autumn Feast
Celebrate this auspicious occasion with mouthwatering food, from simple to sumptuous
The Mid-Autumn Festival will be low-key this year. There will likely be no big family reunions with loads of good food and noisy dice games. But there’s no reason not to make this auspicious occasion special too, in your own way. Why not put together a delicious feast? Whether you choose to go simple or sumptuous, your menu can include anything from traditional lucky dishes, Chinese favorites, and really special delicacies you only splurge on once in a while. Take a look at our recommendations in the gallery below.
If you haven’t yet got some lucky mooncakes, take a look at our curated list here.
Wishing you and your family long life and good fortune! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Good Meals, Good Fortune
Good Meals, Good Fortune
Fortune Bags from China Mommy
A China Mommy original creation, these harbingers of good luck are not dumplings but little pouches of steamed tofu skin encasing flavorful fillings. Choose from four flavors: Original (minced seafood, pork, mushroom and vegetables), Vegetarian, Truffle Mushroom, and Crab Meat. There are 24 pieces for full orders, 12 pieces for half orders. To order, message (0917) 514-8540 or DM @chinamommyph on Instagram.

Crabs from China Mommy
While hairy crabs are traditionally served during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they can be hard to find and quite expensive! Just as delicious and are China Mommy’s crabs — we especially love the best selling Crabs in Special Curry Sauce, but try the other variants like Sotanghon Crabs or Crabs in China Mommy Special Sauce. To order, message (0917) 514-8540 or DM @chinamommyph on Instagram.

Flambéed Roast Duck from Man Ho
Duck is a popular dish for the Mid-Autumn Feast because it’s believed the birds are fattier and therefore taste richer at this time of year. Man Ho at Manila Marriott makes a superb flambéed roast duck with hoisin sauce. Order it as part of the Mid-Autumn Takeaway Set which includes: Yang Chow fried rice, Wok Fry E-fu Noodles, Carrot Cake, and four handcrafted mooncakes. To order, call (0917) 823-8692 or check out @manilamarriott on Instagram. Download the complete menu via the link below.

Taro Puffs from 8 Treasures
It’s said that eating taro during the Mid-Autumn Festival will bring good luck because taro, in certain Chinese dialects, sounds like “luck is within.” But you don’t really need an excuse to bite into these light and crispy Taro Puffs from 8 Treasures. That moment when your teeth sinks through the crispy fried exterior to the deep yummy flavors within is magical. While you’re at it, order their succulent roasted duck and other dishes as well. To order, check out @8treasuresph on Instagram.
