This Mid-Autumn Festival, Mia Saigon proudly presents the "Hy Tuoc Dang Mai" mooncake collection, which elegantly captures the refined beauty of magpies perched on plum blossom branches, inspired by the hotel’s art collection.

In Eastern culture, magpies are cherished symbols of joy and prosperity, a sentiment that is gracefully and subtly captured in the mooncake box design.

These birds, known for their melodious songs that bring tidings of good fortune, are delicately depicted perched together on a plum blossom branch, adorned with fragile, blooming flowers. This imagery beautifully symbolises the reunion and happiness that the Mid-Autumn Festival embodies.

The design of “Hy Tuoc Dang Mai” meticulously recreates the intricate lines and details of the original painting. The deep red, a colour synonymous with Eastern celebrations, further amplifies the festive joy, evoking the warmth and togetherness of the full moon season as families gather.

The “Hy Tuoc Dang Mai” collection is not only a wish for a harmonious and prosperous Mid-Autumn Festival, but also an invitation from Mia Saigon to explore the hotel’s art collection. Through this collection, Mia Saigon aspires to preserve, honour, and promote the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam in a contemporary light.

Mia Saigon's mooncake brand has gained renown since 2020 for being entirely handcrafted by a team of skilled and experienced pastry chefs. Using carefully selected ingredients and traditional baking techniques, they ensure the highest quality in both appearance and flavour.

To provide a broader array of choices for discerning gourmands, in addition to the four traditional flavours of lotus seed, taro, black sesame, and roasted chicken with char siu, Mia Saigon introduces two new and innovative flavours this year: truffle and ham, and oolong tea and pine nut. These novel flavours exemplify a creative twist while upholding the essence of traditional Eastern confectionery.

In addition to the unique flavours, Mia Saigon's gift box includes Thai Nguyen green tea from the Tra Viet brand and candied ginger, creating an exquisite tasting experience.

Thai Nguyen green tea is renowned for its refreshing and delicate flavour, offering a sense of tranquillity and sophistication. When paired with mooncakes and candied ginger, the tea's flavour becomes even more pronounced and harmonious, balancing the sweetness of the mooncake and the spicy warmth of the ginger.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, savouring mooncakes alongside green tea and candied ginger is not merely a culinary delight but also a way to embrace traditional culture, evoking feelings of warmth and togetherness.
