Visitors at the Lucky Chinatown Mall Atrium were treated to a special Mid-Autumn Festival attraction on Friday, September 25, with the display of a giant mooncake prepared by students of the Hospitality Management Program of Chiang Kai Shek College.
The oversized mooncake was created by the CKSian Hospitality Management students under the supervision and guidance of Chef Catherine Blas Yu. The project highlighted not only the students’ culinary skills and teamwork, but also their appreciation of Chinese traditions and cultural celebrations.
The showcase formed part of the mall’s Mid-Autumn Festival activities, with the giant mooncake serving as a symbolic centerpiece of the occasion.
Celebrated by Chinese communities around the world, the Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally associated with family gatherings, thanksgiving, and the strengthening of relationships. Mooncakes, which are commonly shared during the celebration, symbolize completeness and unity, while lanterns and other cultural activities add to the festive atmosphere.
For the CKSC students, the activity provided an opportunity to apply their hospitality and culinary training beyond the classroom while taking part in the preservation and promotion of Chinese cultural heritage.
Through initiatives such as the Giant Mooncake Showcase, students are able to combine practical learning with meaningful cultural engagement, demonstrating how food can serve not only as a culinary creation but also as a way of connecting people, traditions, and generations.\
