As we usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival on 29 September, the search for the best mooncakes begins. Whether enjoying mooncakes with loved ones or gifting them as a token of appreciation, Hilton is dedicated to creating memorable experiences this season.
Conrad Centennial Singapore | Golden Peony
This year’s mooncake collection by Conrad Centennial Singapore is encased in elegant sets, symbolising togetherness and happiness. Crafted in luxurious leatherette, the round box’s design draws inspiration from the enchanting peony gardens that define its signature Chinese restaurant, Golden Peony.
Choose from the Golden Peony Traditional Baked Treasures set, Golden Peony Traditional Baked Delights set, or Golden Peony Snowskin Treasures set. The baked sets offer a range of Cantonese-style mooncakes, including favourites such as White Lotus with Melon Seeds as well as Baked Double Yolk in White Lotus Paste. A new flavour infused with jasmine green tea pays tribute to the restaurant’s deep appreciation for Chinese tea culture. The collection also features a handcrafted Teochew-style mooncake that delicately layers sweet potato with flaky filo pastry.
The mooncake collection also includes four indulgent snow skin creations. Among them, the Signature Royal Hazelnut Crunch offers a luxurious blend of flavours while the Hojicha introduces a unique twist of roasted tea. The Avocado with Vanilla Truffle combines creamy avocado with the richness of vanilla, and the Ondeh Ondeh is a nod to the nostalgic Southeast Asian dessert.

This year, Hilton Shanghai Songjiang Guangfulin’s mooncake collection is centred around the theme ‘The Bright Moon and Scenic Mountains’. Guests can take their pick from a series of Cantonese-style mooncake flavours such as Mung Bean Paste, Red Date Paste, Coconut and Lotus Seed Paste.
The beautiful packaging incorporates elements of a bright moon, phoenix feathers, bellflowers and red lotus flowers, all symbolising good wishes. The gift box is designed using a three-dimensional paper-cutting technique, creating a multi-layered scene that features intricate embossing on a box moulded from pulp, doing away with the need for any adhesive and plastic. The main body of the gift box is also made from completely biodegradable sugarcane residue and bamboo pulp.
Designed with sustainability as its main aim, the main body of the gift box is biodegradable in marine and soil environments, transforming into organic fertiliser. The bottom of the box can be then used as a seedling cup, directly buried in the soil, reducing root damage caused during transplantation.
