The Peninsula Hotels is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with an exquisite mooncake collection that promises to delight your senses. This year, the iconic hotel group has curated a variety of traditional and modern flavors, featuring collaborations with renowned chefs and unique tea pairings.
The Peninsula Hong Kong’s renowned Spring Moon restaurant has been crafting its popular mooncake recipes since 1986. This year’s collection, available at The Peninsula Boutique & Café, includes classic lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk mooncakes alongside innovative and unique flavors.
A highlight of the collection is the “Star Chef Mooncake Gift Box,” curated by Tan Chee Koon, the opening chef of The Peninsula Tokyo’s Chinese restaurant, Hei Fung Terrace. This box features a delightful assortment of mooncakes with ingredients like lychee, wolfberries, walnuts, and rose, alongside mini egg custard mooncakes with mulberry and macadamia nuts.
Other notable offerings include the “Mini Mooncakes (Red Bean with New Hui Chen Pi),” featuring red bean paste with egg yolk and pine nuts, and the “Mini Mooncakes (Tea Selection),” which showcases a variety of original tea flavors. The latter includes a mooncake infused with the fragrant Phoenix Single Cong Oolong tea, offering a delicate sweetness, and another infused with Jasmine tea, perfect for gifting.
For those seeking an exclusive experience, the Isetan Shinjuku store will offer the “Premium Mooncake Gift Box,” a luxurious assortment featuring ten mini mooncakes, including both classic and new flavors.
The celebrations extend beyond mooncakes. From September 8th to 17th, The Peninsula will offer two fresh cake options, “LUNA,” inspired by the mooncake tradition. These delightful cakes come in Peach Oolong and Hojicha Marron flavors. Additionally, a special set featuring classic and new mooncakes will be available for those who want to sample the full range of flavors.
