Michelin-Starred Spring Moon Restaurant Presents Iconic, Newly Packaged Mini Egg Custard Mooncakes To Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival

31/08/2021
Mooncakes are a cherished highlight of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations throughout Asia – and a tradition treated with special reverence at The Peninsula Hong Kong. Since 1986, the culinary team at the hotel’s Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, Spring Moon, has crafted exquisite mini egg custard mooncakes to mark the annual festival. This year, the highly coveted, limited-edition mini mooncakes will be offered in beautifully designed gift boxes that make them perfect for sharing with loved ones and colleagues. These 2021 mini egg custard mooncake sets are available for purchase at https://eshopphk.peninsula.com/.

A Beloved Custom – Clad in Elegant, Earth-Friendly New Packaging
First launched in 1986 at The Peninsula Hong Kong, Spring Moon’s mini egg custard mooncakes raised the bar for this festive confection by blending eastern traditions with international culinary techniques. This year, the legendary mini egg custard mooncakes are presented in an exquisite new gift box, inspired by the Art Deco design and stained-glass windows of Spring Moon. The box, printed with a stylish circular motif symbolising the Mid-Autumn Festival’s spirit of togetherness and reunion, is also earth friendly; as part of the hotel’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, both the box and its inner compartments are made of recycled, ethically sourced materials. 

Along with the new, limited-edition gift box of classic mini mooncakes, The Peninsula Hong Kong is also pleased to offer festival celebrants a second Mid-Autumn Festival gift option: Delightfully heart-shaped mini egg custard mooncakes, packaged in the hotel’s ruby-red, lotus-motif packaging. The charm of both the classic and heart-shaped mini mooncake sets are further enhanced by the inclusion of greeting cards specially created by renowned Hong Kong poet and artist Benny Li. Mr. Li’s heart-warming verses and calligraphy, accompanied by Spring Moon’s delicious egg custard mini mooncakes, provide a joyful way to share the festival cheer with friends and family.
