Available in more than 20 flavours, the baked and snowskin mooncakes by Wang run through the spectrum between  nostalgia and modernity. Crowd favourites include Jia Wei Durian, Signature Italian Dark Coffee, Raspberry with Dark Chocolate mooncakes.

The selection includes two new flavours this year: traditional black bean paste baked mooncakes and the ‘Ying Yang’ snowskin mooncake, which combines white lotus and black bean filings.

“For this year’s Mooncake Festival, we want to give our customers a taste of the past through our classic flavours. That is also reflected through the packaging and the efforts towards each handmade mooncake for the best texture.” said Klaus Gottschalk, General Manager of Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy.

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant at the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy has launched a new menu in conjunction with the arrival of its new Master Chef Victor. The dishes are designed to reflect the contemporary oriental décor, and embrace the Chinese concept of 家味, or flavours of home.

The menu highlights Oriental favourites such as Chef’s superior fish maw with seafood soup, and fresh prawns served with two signature sauces. There is a wide array of dim sum on the menu, and an unusual dessert, the deep-fried cempedak ice cream.

“We recognise the importance of family bonding, and we are excited with the newly launched menu that gives diners the opportunity to savour home-cooked dishes (just as if they were in) the comfort of their home,” said Klaus Gottschalk, General Manager of Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy.

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant is at level 2 of the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy. Lunch is served from 11.30am to 3pm from Mondays to Saturdays, from 11am to 3pm on Sundays and public Holidays. Dinner is served from 6pm to 11.00pm daily.

Roxy Charity Car Wash, Roxy Charity Bazaar to be held at Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy

Get some colleagues together and express support for the needy through the Roxy Charity Car Wash on 15 May 2015, which is in its 8th year at the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy. 



The 7th Roxy Charity Car Wash was a resounding success. In May 2014, the management and staff at Roxy-Pacific & Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel ran a charity car wash at the hotel's driveway. Together with Tan Chuan Jin, Minister of Manpower and Member of Parliament for Marine Parade GRC, and the Marine Parade Citizens' Consultative Committee, S$113,000 was raised through this activity with the support from business associates and members of the public. 

Together with sponsors, the car wash aims to raise funds for the recently-launched Roxy Foundation that will be distributed to NGOs, voluntary welfare organisations (VWOs) and schools.

The car wash will be held on 15 May from 10 am to 6 pm, with the goal of raising S$100,000 for the Roxy Foundation, which was set up in February 2015 by 
Roxy-Pacific Holdings, a property and hospitality group and owner of the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy. Roxy-Pacific Holdings will contribute S$60,000 for the event. 

Lim Biow Chuan, MP for Mountbatten single member constitutency (SMC), is to be the Guest of Honour and will wash the car of the person with the highest donation, together with the Directors of Roxy Pacific Holdings and General Managers of Accor Singapore Hotels. Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore is managed by Accor.


Needy families, sponsors and VIPS will also be invited to the Children Are Our Hope For the Future 2015 dinner on 28 May 2015 that will also be hosted at the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy, with Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong as guest of honour.

Up to 100 children from low income families living around the community will each receive S$300 from the money raised in the form of vouchers. Fifteen students from Nanyang Polytechnic will receive tuition fee grants of S$1,000 each that will go towards their tertiary education tuition fees.

“It is great to engage with the community and giving back by raising funds for the underprivileged through the annual charity drive here at Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy,” said Klaus Gottschalk, General Manager of Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy.

The car wash is mainly organised by Roxy Pacific Holdings, Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy and the Marine Parade Citizens Consultative Committee and supported by Accor Asia Pacific and five of its Singapore hotels - Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen, Ibis Singapore on Novena, Sofitel So Singapore and The Singapore Resort and Spa Sentosa. 

The car wash is followed by the Roxy Charity Bazaar on 16 May. Approximately 20 vendors will donate new and pre-loved items to be sold at the Roxy Charity Bazaar, which will be open at the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy from 10 am to 6 pm. A full 100% of the sales will go directly to the Roxy Foundation. 

The organisers of the Bazaar hope to create awareness and encourage philanthropy by donating and selling items and also through the arts. Visitors will be able to buy one-of-a-kind art pieces and pottery owned by local potters, refurbished clothes, bags and accessories, jewellery as well as household items.

Local potter Mark Lee said, “It is heart-warming to see people come forward to support this Bazaar by donating items that are very dear to them.”
