Celebrate beneath one moon with Eu Yan Sang

This Mid-Autumn, Eu Yan Sang celebrates coming together with the people who matter with their Beneath One Moon gift set, available in-stores and online from 28 August 2026.

Beneath One Moon is designed to become part of the celebration itself. Priced at S$68, the set brings together mooncakes, tea and togetherness in a gift box that is also a serving table and tray. Simply open the box, transform it into a serving table, brew a pot of tea and share the mooncakes.

Each set includes two 180 g traditional baked mooncakes, a travel tea set with two teacups, and six mini glutinous tuo cha (5g each). Glutinous tuo cha are cakes of compressed tea mixed with a herb that imparts the aroma of glutinous rice to the tea.

Each mooncake has a different flavour. A mooncake created for sharing, Golden Reunion (金月团圆) captures the very heart of the festival, the joy of gathering again around one table.

Reduced-sugar white lotus paste envelops two salted egg yolks, their golden centres reminiscent of the full Mid-Autumn moon. Melon seed slivers add a delicate nutty bite, bringing together sweet, savoury and a subtle crunch within golden pastry.

Abundant Harvest (百果盈香) invites slow appreciation, particularly when enjoyed with a freshly-brewed cup of tea. This mooncake celebrates the generosity of the season through a medley of macadamias, almonds, walnuts, melon seeds and sesame seeds. Sweet winter melon strips adds a traditional note, while dried orange lends a fragrant citrus lift that balances the richness of the nuts and seeds.

Inspired by the beauty and symbolism of the full moon, the Beneath One Moon gift box opens to reveal a Mid-Autumn landscape in shades of rose, gold and twilight, framed with intricate oriental lattice detailing. The mooncakes, teapot and cups can be arranged directly upon it.

The Honey Chocolate Collection features four flavours: Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Salted Toffee, White Chocolate Passion Fruit with Mango, and Roasted Sicilian Pistachio. These mooncakes incorporate raw and unprocessed Leatherwood Honey which originates from the rainforests of the Tarkine region in Tasmania where some of the world’s cleanest air and water are found. Unlike commercial honey, the rare Tasmania Leatherwood honey is cold-extracted to retain its flavour and aromatic properties. Tasmania Leatherwood honey is known for its distinctive taste, antibacterial properties and also helps to boost the immune system.

The Honey Chocolate Collection is the brainchild of Area Pastry Chef Hervé Potus. Each Honey Chocolate mooncake comes with a delicate chocolate shell infused with a creamy mousse-like filling, enveloping a dense and luscious honey centre within. Presented in an exquisite honeycomb-shaped gift box with a decorative bee feature, these premium mooncakes are priced at S$88 per box with two pieces of each flavour and will make ideal gifts for business associates.

Master Chef Steven Ng of Shang Palace has created three innovative flavours of the baked mooncake variety: Mini Baked Lychee Mooncake with Rose, Mini Baked Low Sugar Lotus Paste Mooncake with Macadamia Nuts and Mini Baked Mocha Mooncake with Hokkaido Milk.

Mandarin Orchard unveils mooncake collection for Mid-Autumn 2016

The Mandarin Orchard's recent Fly Me to the Moon event was the perfect platform to showcase for the hotel's 2016 Mid-Autumn promotion, which features one new mooncake flavour as well as all the traditional favourites and popular signatures, plus sumptuous new packaging.

Each traditional mooncake will be packaged in individual baby blue boxes and presented as a set of four in a larger custom-designed box for the perfect gift to business associates. The larger box features an embossed chrysanthemum at the bottom left corner and the Mandarin Orchard emblem at the top right.

The hotel has maintained its recipes for the classic Baked Mooncake with Single/Double Yolk and White Lotus Paste (单/双黄白莲蓉月饼). For the health conscious, a low-sugar variety is available: the Baked Mooncake with Macadamia Nuts and Low Sugar White Lotus Paste (低糖夏果白莲蓉月饼). The Baked Mooncake with Azuki Red Bean Paste and Pine Nuts (日本红豆沙松子月饼) is also available this year.

The Mini Snow Skin Salted Egg Custard with Manuka Honey Corn mooncake (迷你冰皮奶黄麦卢卡蜜玉米月饼) debuts this year. The salted egg custard has a subtle taste that is beautifully balanced with the sweetness of the corn and Manuka honey. Fusion snowskin flavours introduced last year, which feature fruit and chocolate as well as lemongrass, will be back this year.

For more traditional snowskin flavours, consider the Mini Snow Skin Yam and Yam Paste Mooncake (迷你冰皮芋头月饼) or the Mini Snow Skin Green Tea Paste with Azuki Red Bean Mooncake (迷你冰皮绿茶与日本红豆月饼.

Source: Mandarin Orchard. The mini snowskin mooncake with salted egg custard and manuka honey corn is absolutely delicious, good cold or at room temperature, and the hands-down winner for me. Do note that the salted part of the salted egg custard is quite subtle.  Manuka honey can also be bitter at times but the combination is perfect here.

Tea Forte's teabags are in an iconic pyramid shape, with a 'tea leaf' at the top as a holder. The teas can be drunk hot, iced, or blended with other beverages, cocktail shaker-style.

Tea Forte has recommended pairings between its premium teas and the Mandarin Orchard's mooncakes. The company produces black, green, herbal, white and oolong teas, and suggests its Jasmine Green flavour, for instance, to complement the baked mooncake with single or double yolk and white lotus paste. Jasmine Green consists of rare Yin Hao green tea combined with jasmine blossoms.

Other pairings include:
Sencha - premium tea leaves picked in early spring, usually only for the Japanese market - or White Ginger Pear - Pai Mu Tan (white peony, or 白牡丹) tea leaves from the chai cha varietal blended with pears and ginger - to go with the baked mooncake with macadamia nuts and low sugar white lotus paste. White Ginger Pear is in the top two bestsellers for Tea Forte, the other being its Iced Ginger Pear blend.

Sencha is also suggested for the mooncakes with a Japanese component, such as the baked mooncake with Azuki red bean paste and pine nuts, but also for the mini snowskin mooncake with yam and yam paste. Cherry Marzipan, on the other hand, was recommended for the mini snowskin mooncake containing green tea paste and Azuki red beans. The tea is a special reserve green tea which Tea Forte describes as "with the tart-sweet lushness of acerola cherries and the depth of nutty toasted almond".

The event was also a showcase of the versatility of the events team. Chinese, Japanese and fusion cuisines paired with different mooncakes to emphasise the origins of various flavour combinations. The mooncakes with Azuki beans, for instance, were featured next to a live sushi and sashimi preparation station, while the traditional Chinese mooncakes were framed by live music, Chinese calligraphy and freshly prepared Sarawak kolo noodles. A fusion dish specially created for the event was the highlight for the fusion-style mooncakes, involving elements from various flavours, including a martini glass, eggs poached just so, and foam infused with meat.

Traditional Chinese music accompaniment got guests into the mood.

The Chinese section was the largest, and featured a Chinese calligrapher who wrote the Chinese names with a Chinese brush for guests as requested, in traditional Chinese.

Fusion food-inspired cocktail bites were displayed in one room on a table strewn with rose petals.

Nibbles on the left - scallop tartare, lightheartedly reformed in the shape and size of a scallop - a complete surprise to the palate. On the right, a skewered stack of vegetables cut into the shape of sakura, topped with a candied black bean, named 'sweet potato yuzu miso'.
