Signature Mini Egg Custard Mooncakes from Hong Kong Available for the First Time at The Peninsula New York

For a limited time, the highly coveted mooncakes from The Peninsula Boutique are available for purchase.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most spectacular celebrations in the Chinese culture and mooncakes have long been a signature highlight of the festivities each year.  Many mooncake-lovers will agree that there is no substitute for those created by The Peninsula brand in Hong Kong and this year, for a limited time, the highly sought-after mini egg custard mooncakes from The Peninsula Boutique are available to purchase for the first time at The Peninsula New York. The Mid-Autumn Festival will take place on Friday, September 13.

The history of mooncakes at The Peninsula dates back to 1986 in Hong Kong, where Michelin-starred Spring Moon’s culinary team raised the bar on this storied confectionary, blending eastern tradition with western culinary techniques to create an utterly decadent treat. Since then, the mooncakes’ popularity and status has continued to rise.

Available for pre-order and collection at The Peninsula New York beginning July 29, guests can purchase a box of eight individual mooncakes for $98 each, plus tax. For enquiries and pre-orders, kindly contact mooncakepny@peninsula.com or 212-903-3051.
