As the moon ascends in the night sky, ushering in a time of bountiful harvest and family reunions, Yi Jing, the renowned Chinese restaurant at ITC Maratha, is gearing up to captivate guests with an extraordinary “Chinese Moon Festival” celebration. Starting September 14th, embark on a culinary journey inspired by the rich traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This vibrant festival, deeply rooted in Chinese culture, pays homage to Chang’e, the moon goddess. Families gather to celebrate, their joy echoing in the lively rhythm of lion and dragon dances that fill the air. Homes and public spaces transform into a spectacle of vibrant red lanterns and intricate paper cuttings, casting a warm glow over the festivities.
No celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival would be complete without the iconic mooncakes, delectable treats that symbolize harmony and togetherness. Yi Jing’s Master Chef Liang has meticulously crafted a special menu featuring a selection of handmade mooncakes filled with rich red bean paste and five nuts, their flavors encapsulating the essence of this beloved festival.
Beyond the mooncakes, the menu offers a delightful fusion of timeless and modern Chinese dishes, promising a truly festive dining experience. Begin your culinary journey with the tantalizing Sichuan Spicy Cold Noodle Salad or Marinated Lamb with Chili Oil. For a comforting start, savor the Chicken Foo Young or Beijing Tofu Soup.
Indulge in a basket of artisanal dim sums, choosing from options like Mixed Vegetables or Pork wrapped in tender Chinese Cabbage. Prepare to be enchanted by the bold flavors of the Stewed New Zealand Lamb Shank, Braised Bean Curd with Mushroom and Hunan Preserved Chili, and the delicate Stir-Fried Pok Choi with Shimeji Mushrooms in White Sauce.
