Where to buy mooncakes in Hong Kong 2022
1. Conrad Hong Kong
Gin and mooncakes, anyone? Conrad’s Chinese restaurant, The Golden Leaf, is joining hands with the local distillery, Two Moons, to debut a unique gin mooncake gift box set ($688). Inside, you’ll find four mooncakes, of which two are filled with Creamed Egg Yolk with Gin, and the other two Red Bean Paste with Mandarin Peels and Egg Yolk. We love how the former is remarkably smooth, while the aroma of the mandarin peel stands out well in the latter. Also, both contain just the right amount of sweetness! Don’t forget to make yourself a refreshing G&T or a Bee’s Knees with the two mini bottles of Two Moons’ signature gin (The Dry Gin and Calamansi Gin) inside the box, too.
Oh, and did we mention that the beautiful writing on the mooncake box is the work of the renowned calligraphy master Yeung Kai? His design adds a sense of elegance and timelessness to the box, making it ideal for gifting this season.
