From Michelin-starred creations and lavish hotel hampers to pistachio, black sesame and Musang King durian fillings, these are the mooncakes worth ordering ahead of September 25.
Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Friday, September 25, 2026, and Hong Kong’s hotels, restaurants and bakeries are already rolling out their festive collections.
This year’s mooncake menus stretch well beyond white lotus seed paste and salted egg yolks: expect molten pistachio centers, black sesame, tea-infused fillings, French chocolate shells and collectible lantern boxes. Whether you are shopping for a family gathering or preparing an impressive corporate gift, these are the festive releases worth knowing.
This guide will be updated regularly as more brands unveil their Mid-Autumn collections, so bookmark this page and return for the latest additions! Prices and promotional offers are subject to change.
The Peninsula Hong Kong begins its 2026 collection with mooncakes handcrafted by Spring Moon, the hotel’s Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant.

The limited-edition “Mini Heart-Shaped Egg Custard Mooncakes” (HK$688 for eight) deliver the same signature flavor in an elegant design symbolizing love and reunion. Each mooncake is now individually wrapped to preserve freshness.
The most intriguing addition is the limited “Roselle and Hawthorn Mooncakes” (HK$728 for eight), created by Spring Moon’s Chinese Cuisine Executive Chef Lam Yuk Ming and Bakehouse founder Grégoire Michaud. Inspired by familiar Hong Kong childhood flavors, the filling layers tart roselle and hawthorn with smooth almond and white lotus seed paste, all enclosed in Spring Moon’s classic golden pastry.
