Let’s enjoy the last couple weeks of summer! Take advantage of some great foodie holidays, Mid-Autumn festival, live music, and more dinners on our patio. Let’s dig in!
Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival
Saturday, September 1oth is The Mid Autumn Festival, a very traditional Chinese holiday. This holiday is a very important day for Chinese families who gather together to light lanterns and admire the fullest moon of the year. For this festival, it is customary to enjoy mooncakes. These delicious pastries are sliced up and shared as a family. Here at Sumiao, we love sharing this tradition with our guests. To celebrate, we’ll be giving out complimentary mooncakes to our valued guests on Saturday, 9/10 and Sunday, 9/11.
We’ll be celebrating with our Galaxy Moon cocktail, a delicious drink made with prosecco and an ice ball of osmanthus syrup, a perfect pairing for our Sweet & Sour Crispy Fish shown below.
