Chocolate mooncakes
CITY OF DREAMS Manila celebrates the Mid-Autumn festival with uniquely handcrafted chocolate mooncakes this September at The Garage’s Chocol8. The mooncakes, stamped with City of Dreams Manila’s logo, are made from pure chocolate, consisting of exclusively blended Swiss dark chocolate fashioned in a mould resembling the traditional mooncake’s pastry skin, which are then filled with different flavors of ganache that mirror the yolk of a salted egg. The varieties are: Lemon-Caramel, which is composed of lemon ganache complemented by caramel ganache; Orange-Almond, which melds orange ganache, caramelized roasted almonds, and almond ganache; and Mango-Pistachio, which harmoniously blends mango ganache, caramelized pistachios, and pistachio ganache. The mooncakes come in a two-color toned box for P780 net per box. For inquiries, call 800-8080 or e-mail guestservices@cod-manila.com or visit www.cityofdreamsmanila.com.
