Conrad Centennial Singapore

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.
