Shang Palace restaurants serve some of the best Asian food in the UAE, and in honour of the East-Asian mid-Autumn festival, the restaurant has launched a range of special mooncakes at its branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
According to tradition, Chinese emperors prepared mooncakes to pay tribute to the moon every autumn.
The honour the ritual, Shangri-La hotels across the UAE, Turkey and India have come together to produce a selection of the cakes, each made with regional flavours.
