The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, which means that it is time for mooncakes—lots of ‘em. Last year, The InterContinental Bangkok made a splash on the mooncake scene with their popular phuang malai-shaped boxes (resembling the shape of traditional Thai flower garlands), each containing six-to-eight different mooncakes. In recent years, we’ve seen a lot of variations on mooncake flavors, ranging from traditional to unorthodox. There are a range of flavors in each box set, but most of them take a slightly sweet tone. They include: Osmanthus lotus with salted egg yolk, durian paste with salted egg yolk, green tea paste with salted egg yolk, Earl Grey paste with macadamia and orange zest, custard cream, and Thai tea custard. From Aug 9 to Sep 17, you can snag a box of six for B888, and a box of 8 for B1,188. You can also score 10-percent off any purchase of five boxes or more made before Aug 8. 

 

Find the mooncakes at InterContinental Bangkok’s Summer Palace, from 11:30am-10:30pm, and Butter (lobby level), from 8am-7pm
