New and Popular Mooncake Creations by Lung King Heen

This year, Executive Chinese Chef Chan Yan Tak and his culinary team at Lung King Heen embrace the beauty of the Mid-Autumn tradition by introducing a new flavour: Winter Melon Paste Mooncakes with Black Sesame and Salted Egg Yolk. In this recipe, the black sesame is first toasted to bring out its unique aroma. The winter melon paste is selected for its beautiful golden colour and a pleasant level of sweetness. A bite into it guarantees a substantial mouthfeel with the right balance of tastes that will be sure to bring a smile to everyone's face.

In addition to the new flavour, Lung King Heen will also bring back the popular mooncake creations. White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncakes with Salted Egg Yolk and Black Truffle carry the unmistakable truffle fragrance. While egg and truffle have always been a match made in heaven, Chef Chan and his team go the extra mile to pair the truffle with salted egg yolk to deliver an unconventional combination widely loved by Lung King Heen's discerning guests in previous years. Preserved Eggs and Pickled Ginger Mooncakes feature ginger that is pickled in-house, and only the egg yolk part of the preserved egg is used as it is the most flavoursome. The mooncake flavour is making a return this year due to popular demand.

Guests can enjoy the privilege of indulging in all three flavours by ordering the Assorted Signature Mooncakes box that comes with the option of including an offering of vintage 2008 mellow pu'erh tea cake in the package. The tea cake is sourced from a family-owned tea farm in Yunnan province whose pu'erh tea is handpicked and processed by traditional techniques passed down by generations.

Cream Custard Mooncakes with Toasted Pine Nuts, a sought-after delicacy created by Chef Chan Yan Tak since the Hotel opened, is also available this year.

Lung King Heen mooncakes are handmade by the restaurant chefs and contain no preservatives. The mooncakes are elegantly presented in a gift box crafted by renowned designer Alan Chan.
