The Peninsula Bangkok returns with timeless egg custard mooncakes and new flavours for mid-autumn festival

In celebration of the mid-autumn festival, The Peninsula Bangkok announces the return of its highly sought-after timeless Egg Custard Mooncakes, along with an exciting new selection of assorted flavours, in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year’s collection features egg custard, red bean, yuzu, and durian mooncakes, perfect for sharing with family and friends and creating joyful memories.

For over 35 years, Spring Moon’s Michelin-starred chefs have crafted exquisite Egg Custard Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Originating at The Peninsula Hong Kong in 1986, these delicacies blend Eastern traditions with Western culinary expertise. Passed down to Peninsula Hotels’ Chinese chefs, including at The Peninsula Bangkok, these coveted Egg Custard Mooncakes feature a creamy, velvety filling encased in a crispy golden pastry.

In addition to the signature egg custard mooncakes, The Peninsula is introducing three new flavours crafted from the finest ingredients- Refreshing Yuzu: bursting with citrusy freshness, Indulgent Durian: a creamy delight for durian enthusiasts, Classic Red Bean: timelessly delicious with a perfect balance of sweetness.

Each mooncake, filled with egg custard and decadent assorted flavours, undergoes a series of precise processes before being baked to a golden-brown perfection. Every step, from selecting the finest ingredients like milk, butter, cream, flour, and eggs to the final baking, is executed with the highest level of expertise by professional chefs.

The Egg Custard Mooncake with the ‘Dragon Fish’ pattern conveys auspiciousness in its original style, designed exclusively for Mei Jiang Restaurant. Beautifully packaged in an octagonal red box made of eco-friendly, biodegradable materials and decorated with a lotus flower pattern, this special box contains 8 pieces of original egg custard or a mix of assorted flavours of mooncakes.
