The OG of mooncakes

Making a comeback after a year’s absence is the legendary Peninsula egg custard mooncake. This year, the hotel is bringing back happy memories with a delicious twist — their mooncakes are organic!

Hand-crafted in the Mei Jiang kitchen, each exquisite mooncake is prepared with sustainably-sourced organic ingredients. The Peninsula Bangkok’s cherished festive treats will be prepared with rich, creamy organic milk from dairy cows in Nakhon Ratchasima, which are fed organic grass high in Omega-3. Organic butter is produced from the same nourishing milk. The Mei Jiang chefs also use organic eggs from free-range hens, organic flour and organic custard powder. These mooncakes are in line with the hotel’s health and well-being programme.

An eight-piece set is presented in auspicious red with an elegantly designed octagonal gift box that features a lotus-flower motif, which is a timeless symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The mooncakes are sold in boxes of eight as the Chinese word for “eight” sounds similar to the words meaning “prosperity” and “good fortune”, which are popular good wishes exchanged between family, friends and colleagues during the festival.

The Peninsula Bangkok’s Organic Egg Custard Mooncakes can be purchased from Aug 1 to Sept 21 at The Peninsula Boutique. An Organic Egg Custard Mooncake one-piece box is priced at B288, The Peninsula Bangkok’s eight-piece Organic Egg Custard Mooncake set box is priced at B888 and a special limited-edition eight-piece gift-set box designed by Nirot Jarungjitvittawat, is priced at B3,888.
