Celebrate the holiday with some of the most sought-after mooncakes this year
You mightn't believe it, but the time has come for the annual onslaught of mooncakes in Hong Kong. And while we all welcome one of the city's biggest festivals that brings us together for family reunions and feasts, it can be somewhat challenging to decide which mooncakes to try or gift. From chocolate and tea-infused egg custard mooncakes to beefy or durian variations and more, here is our pick of the best mooncakes to order this year.
Grand Hyatt
One Harbour Road at Grand Hyatt has created three new flavours this year. Priced at HK$438, the new trio of flavours are available as six mini mooncakes including egg custard with crystallised ginger which is inspired by a well-loved Chinese dessert; a tropical treat that uses dried mango from the Philippines and shredded coconut; and red date, dried tangerine peel and osmanthus which is a popular choice for health-conscious customers. Meanwhile, classic mooncakes such as white lotus seed paste with two salted egg yolks are available as a box of four in the Full Moon Box for HK$468, and six smaller mooncakes filled with melt-in-the-mouth egg custard make up the Bright Moon Box which is available at HK$418.
Tiffin has collaborated with Phoebe’s Kitchen this year for the Wellington mooncake, available at HK$428 for two pieces, which is essentially US Angus beef fillet wrapped in a flaky pastry along with Tiffan's signature Wellington components of Parma ham, white mushrooms, foie gras and black truffle sauce.
