Few of them constitute the symbolic scene of the Mid-Autumn night” Chloe and Vivian said. “The design interprets the atmosphere in a modern tone, with simple and rounded lines giving a sense of relaxation and leisure, allowing people to take a break from their busy schedules and concentrate on the moment of full moon” they continued. The box carries a bright lime green colour with full moon and mountain patterns in silver foil printing effect, while the mooncakes implying blessings and togetherness, symbolizing prosperity and roundness, perfect for gifting.

For those who are looking for sweet and frozen treats that seamlessly blend the Chinese traditions with French pastry techniques, the new Assorted Durian Mousse Mochi Mooncake (4 pieces) at original price HK$598 promises to excite your palate.
