If you love all things Oriental, you’re bound to know about the Mid Autumn Festival of China. The festival has a unique delicacy called moon cakes, which gave it one of its many alternative names (Mooncake Festival).

Yauatcha’s Mooncake promo will feature modern interpretations of classic mooncakes. Available in four flavours, these cakes will be served along with green tea ice cream for a perfect pairing. You can also pick a box of three from their retail counter and spread the bounty among your loved ones, just as they do in China.

Where: Yauatcha, First Floor, Raheja Tower, Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra East
