The Original RAFFLES SINGAPORE MOONCAKES 2018
Traditionally celebrated by people of Chinese origin on the
15th day of the 8th lunar month, Mid-Autumn Festival, 中秋节
takes place when the moon is said to be at its brightest
and roundest.
Of the many rich legends associated with Mid-Autumn,
perhaps the favourite of most is the tale of two star crossed
lovers, Houyi and Chang’e.
According to ancient myths, ten suns rose in the sky together
causing widespread famine to the country. To save mankind,
divine archer Houyi shot down nine suns, leaving only one.
For his heroism, he was rewarded with an elixir of immortality
by the Gods which would allow him to ascend to Heaven.
However, Houyi gave the elixir to his beloved wife, Chang’e
for safekeeping as he was unwilling to leave her behind.
One day, in her bid to protect the elixir from a thief, Chang’e was forced to drink the elixir and thereafter, ascended to the moon
where she lived forever. Houyi was devastated and from that day onwards, he began to worship the moon with offerings in
remembrance of Chang’e. This day is now commemorated as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mooncakes were created to honour Chang’e, the Moon Goddess of Immortality, with the yolk in the mooncake representing the
brilliant, round moon on this night. Celebrations go into full swing once the sun sets, with families coming together to play with
lanterns, indulge in mooncakes and sip on tea, while admiring the beauty of the full moon illuminated in the night sky.
As we write a new chapter in our Raffles story with our current restoration, Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations continue with our
legendary Raffles mooncakes, exquisitely handcrafted to bring prosperity, peace and harmony to you and your loved ones.
