7 most luxurious mooncakes in Hong Kong you should splurge on this year
From the fiercely sought-after Spring Moon egg custard variety to Conrad’s four new flavours, there is more choice than ever this Mid-Autumn Festival
There’s no denying that the best thing about Mid-Autumn Festival is getting to eat mooncakes. And the more decadent, the better. Here are our top choices of this year’s most luxurious mooncakes, which we will be stuffing ourselves with – and no, we won’t be counting the calories.
Spring Moon at The Peninsula
Spring Moon have undoubtedly been one of the city’s most iconic mooncakes since they were first launched in 1986 – and it’s not hard to figure out why. From their soft, custard filling to their delicate crumbly exterior, these limited-edition, mini-egg custard mooncakes are a real treat. Competition for these mooncakes is fierce, with supply running out fast each year.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental is known for its attention to detail, and its latest mooncakes are no exception. This year, it is offering a mini-assortment option, featuring flavours like sweet potato, red bean chestnut and white lotus. They all come housed in a box fancifully shaped like a fan – Mandarin Oriental’s signature motif.
