Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in style with an exquisite selection of gift hampers, classic mooncakes, and innovative flavors offered by Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Treat your loved ones to a fusion of contemporary tastes from the hotel or savor the handcrafted mooncakes crafted by the renowned two-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant, Lung King Heen. Immerse yourself in the ultimate indulgence that only Four Seasons can provide.

This year, Executive Chinese Chef Chan Yan Tak and his talented culinary team at Lung King Heen have reimagined traditional mooncakes with a tantalizing new flavor: White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes infused with Wuyi Rare Orchid, Hazelnuts, and Salted Egg Yolk. Experience the delicate blend of hand-picked Wuyi Rare Orchid oolong tea, renowned for its floral notes, perfectly balancing the richness of the mooncake. The addition of finely crushed hazelnuts adds a delightful crunch to each bite. Moreover, the white lotus paste recipe boasts a 30 percent reduction in sugar content, offering guilt-free indulgence without compromising on taste.

Paired with the new flavor, Lung King Heen is bringing back a bunch of all-time favorites. They’ve got the White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes with Salted Egg Yolk and Black Truffle, which combines the earthy truffle aroma with the rich and oily salted egg yolk. The truffle is blended into the finest lotus seed paste and wrapped in a buttery pastry. It’s a blend of flavors that’s simply delightful.

Then there’s the Preserved Eggs and Pickled Ginger Mooncakes, a truly unique flavor crafted by the talented team. The in-house pickled ginger has a distinct aroma that lingers after every bite, balancing perfectly with the contrasting yet complementary flavors of preserved eggs. These mooncakes are true masterpieces, with only the savory egg yolk part of the preserved egg used.

And let’s not forget the Cream Custard Mooncakes with Toasted Pine Nuts, a sought-after delicacy created by Chef Chan Yan Tak since the hotel’s opening. The closely guarded recipe has been continuously refined, resulting in a velvety custard filling that perfectly complements the nutty flavor of toasted pine nuts.

Guests can now indulge in the ultimate treat with the Assorted Signature Mooncakes box, featuring all three exquisite flavors. The collection includes two pieces of Preserved Egg and Pickled Ginger Mooncake, two pieces of White Lotus Seed Paste with Black Truffle and Salted Egg Yolk Mooncake, and two pieces of White Lotus Seed Paste with Wuyi Rare Orchid, Hazelnuts, and Salted Egg Yolk Mooncake. As an added bonus, they’ve included a vintage 2008 mellow pu’erh tea cake to enhance the flavors. This tea cake is sourced from a family-owned tea farm in Yunnan province, where the ancient traditions of handpicking and processing have been passed down through generations.

Lung King Heen’s mooncakes are expertly handcrafted by their talented chefs, ensuring that no preservatives are added, so you can enjoy the true essence of the premium ingredients.
