Joins Hands with acclaimed local artist Lok Hei to Celebrate ‘Home’ with Traditional Sweets
A recent statement by resort operator MGM reminds everyone that the Mid-Autumn Festival is all about celebrating reunion – and nothing becomes more precious than sharing the traditional mooncake with family and loved ones, beneath the gorgeous scenic full-moon. This year, the statement points out, MGM embraces its hometown Macau in its mooncake gift box’s design by collaborating with Lok Hei, an acclaimed local artist who is also the creator and executive producer of the well-received “Macao: Back to Common Roots Narrative Film”. Featuring several graphic illustrations of Macau’s iconic historical sites depicted in the film, the design truly spreads the warmest festive greetings with a sense of “home”.
“Macao: Back to Common Roots Narrative Film” illustrates the gradual transformation of Macau from a fishing village to a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure over the past five centuries and reinforces everyone’s affection for the Motherland and Macau, the statement underlines. The design theme of MGM’s mooncake gift box surrounds the strokes and brushes of Lok Hei featured in hi film, which includes Penha Hill, A-Ma (Ma Kok) Temple, St. Paul’s Ruins and other historical sites in the city.
According to the statement, the three options of mooncake gift box are all traditionally handcrafted with the finest ingredients: Enjoy the timeless classic White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Double Yolk Gift Box to fully savour the authentic flavours of this traditional delight in a box of four full-size mooncakes; or the mouth-melting Mini Custard Mooncake Gift Box that includes six mini mooncakes with silky and rich egg custard centres. For guests who love to enjoy a variety of creative flavours, the Assorted Mini Mooncake Gift Box makes the perfect choice, which is a box of six mini mooncakes featuring innovative flavours, such as the crowd favourites Lava Durian and Lava Ginger and White Lotus Seed Paste.
