Mooncake for Charity
The Heep Hong Charity Mooncake is an initiative to raise funds for the hotel’s long-term charity partner, Heep Hong Society – one of Hong Kong’s largest service providers of early intervention and education for children with special needs. The mooncake box wrapper is designed with beautiful drawings painted by the children from Heep Hong Society and contains four pieces of traditional mooncakes with white lotus seed paste and double egg yolks.
The Charity Mooncake will also be available for sale at Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong and Aberdeen Marina Club. All proceeds from the sale of this charitable mooncake will benefit Heep Hong Society’s diversified services and facilities.
