Although the sweltering summer season is in full swing, Mid-Autumn Festival is rapidly approaching – and decadent mooncakes are beginning to fill the shelves of the city’s bakeries. Their round shape symbolises the full moon and the reunification and togetherness of families.
This year, Royal Delights (R+) is offering contemporary twists on the traditional treat with unique flavour combinations and fan favourites returning.
The premium patisserie brand under Royal Hotels Hong Kong – and available at Royal Plaza Hotel, Royal Park Hotel, Royal View Hotel and ALVA Hotel by Royal – Royal Delights (R+) creates exquisite desserts and pastries inspired by the city it calls home. Six mooncake options are available for this year’s Mid-Autumn festivities, each attractively packaged and ready to be bought, gifted and shared among friends and family.
Traditionalists will rejoice at the inclusion of the white lotus seed paste mooncake with double egg yolk and lotus seed paste mooncake with double egg yolk – each offers a silky smooth texture and delicious salted centre. Of course, the mini custard lava mooncake is a firm favourite among R+ clientele and is certain to be a crowd pleaser among family and friends, with the rich custard filling delicately balanced by the salty egg yolk and buttery pastry crust.
The premium mooncake gift box boasts eight mouth-watering cakes and offers a wide range of classic and contemporary flavours and makes for the perfect gift to loved ones. It’s not just the mooncakes themselves which are carefully crafted and designed – elaborate boxes and packaging add to the allure of these festive family treats.
The gift box is stylishly presented, boasting an orange gold exterior. It is embellished with floral emblems including lotus, peonies and roses. Birds and dragonflies round off the design. The ornate design symbolises seven stars encircling the moon and is infused with symbols of joyfulness and good moods.
Both the premium mooncake gift box and the mooncake combo set include two bold new flavours that draw inspiration from traditional teas. The mini matcha red bean mochi mooncake combines Japanese flavours with the unique texture of the rice-based mochi, with the sweet red bean balancing the bittersweetness of the matcha. Another new flavour, the mini earl grey milk tea mooncake, infuses the traditional dessert with a subtle aroma extracted from the floral tea.
